HUNTINGTON BEACH - A couple of players who figure to shine in the Pacific-10 Conference next season were on display Friday night at the Ocean View Tournament of Champions, and neither disappointed.

UCLA-bound Jrue Holiday's driving layup with 2.4 seconds left helped Campbell Hall defeat Santa Margarita 61-59 to advance to the finals against Westchester.

The game was a rematch of the team's matchup at the Nike Extravaganza at the Anaheim Convention Center during the 2005-2006 season.

The game featured a showdown between Holiday and Klay Thompson - son of Lakers broadcaster Mychal Thompson - who has committed to Washington State. Holiday scored 22 points for the Vikings, while Thompson added 14 for the Eagles.

Zack Zaragoza led Santa Margarita (8-1) with 18 points, including four 3-pointers. Dallas Rutherford had 14 points for the Vikings (7-2).
