Boys' and girls' prep basketball roundup

Marselio Mendez is only a 50% free-throw shooter. That is all he had to be under pressure.

The senior guard sank the second of two free throws with two-tenths of a second remaining, giving Cretin-Derham Hall a 41-40 victory over Rosemount in the Class 4A boys' basketball tournament quarterfinals Wednesday at East Ridge High School.

Mendez was fouled while shooting a scoop shot on a drive down the lane with under one second remaining.

Mendez entered the game 17-for-34 from the free-throw line this season.

Rosemount was holding the ball for the last shot when it turned it over on an over-and-back call with 2.5 seconds left.
