Kyle Millhollin’s three-point basket was Carpinteria’s only field goal of the fourth quarter on Saturday night.

Carpinteria also made 6-of-9 free throws in the final quarter, including 3-of-4 by Marcus Hutchinson. For the game, the Warriors were led in scoring by Hutchinson’s 11. Millhollin, Ian Craddock, Duncan Gordon and Xavier DeAlba all had eight.
Orcutt Academy’s Jaylen Holford posted a game-high 17 points and Manny Mangayao added 16.
