Late in the third quarter, Coral Gables sophomore Al Wajid Aminu was fouled hard on a dunk attempt and lay on the court for 22 minutes before he was placed a stretcher.

According to Coral Gables athletic director Louis Romero, Aminu was taken to Miami Children’s Hospital for observation.

Coral Gables would rally late and a basket by Imani Figuereo made the score 53-46 with 1:34 to play.

Thanks to clutch foul shooting and key rebounds, the Cobras were able to hang on for the win.

“I feel like we have a great chance and this team is special and we have a lot of potential,” said South Miami’s Joseph Lopez. “I think we’re going to win it [states].”

Clark had a game-high with 24 points. Lopez had a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds.

“It was a nice win for our team and our program,” Coral Gables coach Phillip Wisser said.

Raymond Gonzalez went 4 for 4 at the plate, stole four bases and scored four runs for the Cavaliers.
