The playoff game, which took place on February 19, ended in a 62-51 victory for the Chatsworth Chancellors, with Arenas delivering 21 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals. The Chancellors have gone on to win their next game after that playoff matchup, defeating Palisades High School 77-47 on Monday to improve their record to 22-7 this season.
