Orange Lutheran High School’s boys basketball team exploded for 30 points in the first quarter and went on to defeat Oxnard 70-49 in the semifinals of the CIF 2AA playoffs Friday night at Orange Lutheran.

The Lancers (20-10) will face Tesoro Saturday at a location to be announced later. It’s the first time Orange Lutheran has been to the CIF finals since the 2011-2012 team won the CIF title.
