CIF Division II state championship: Oakland Tech boys win first state title
Oakland Tech head coach Karega Hart lifts the first place trophy after defeating Centennial during their CIF State Basketball Championship Division II Boys game at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Calif., on Saturday, March 9, 2024. Oakland Tech defeats Centennial 79-55. SACRAMENTO – The painted area from the free-throw line to the baseline is a purple hue in Sacramento’s Golden 1 Arena.
“It means everything to me,” Oakland Tech coach Karega Hart said about the chants. “We take pride in being Bulldogs, and we take pride in being from Tech. But most of all, we take pride in being from the city of Oakland.” Oakland Athletic League Player of the Year Grayson spearheaded the open-court attack with backcourt mate Caleb Rollins, who scored 20. Even though the junior guard was only 3 of 12 in the first half, his forays created open looks for others.
Xan Meyer-Plettner, Tech’s shot-blocking big, scored six of his nine points in the third quarter as Tech blew the game open. Grayson and Rollins kept rolling too, Oakland Tech running at every opportunity and turning what had been a nail-biter into a Tech party. In 2023, Tech had taken down the Wildcats in the two regular season matchups and the Oakland Section title game. But at a neutral-site barnburner at Laney College, Oakland finally won the close game to win NorCal and advance to the D-III title game.
