Alijah Arenas and Chatsworth's path to the championship

In the 2025 CIF State Boys Basketball Championships, Chatsworth has now entered the State Finals, where it will lock horns against Jesuit, who is coming off a 65-55 win against Destiny Christian Academy in the Regional Finals.

Chatsworth has defeated its opponent by at least 14 points in the tournament. In Round 1, the Chancellors faced Knight on March 4 and secured a win with an 81-60 scoreline. They defeated Francis Parker 80-59 in Round 2 on March 6.

On Tuesday, Arenas made sure to get his revenge against Tajh Ariza, the son of the 2009 NBA champion Trevor Ariza, after Westchester had defeated Chatsworth 65-55 in the final game of the 2025 CIF LA City Section Boys' Basketball Championship.

Arenas and Chatsworth secured a 75-61 win in the regional semifinals to move to the regional finals, where they defeated Bakersfield Christian. Alijah Arenas, who reclassified from the 2026 class to 2025 and committed to the USC Trojans, will be looking to lead his school to the championship.
