Looking at 5x NBA Champ Derek Fisher's second season as an HS coach following Crespi Carmelite's elimination from the CIF Southern Section playoffs

Five-time NBA Champ Derek Fisher's No. 1 Crespi Carmelite was knocked out of the 2025 CIF Southern Section Boys' Basketball Championships (California) on Friday. After winning the first round 90-54 against Edison on Wednesday, Crespi was eliminated by Campbell Hall.

The game finished in a 79-66 upset for Carmelite and ended their perfect 5-0 streak against Campbell since Mar. 2015. Senior reporter for high school on SI, Tarek Fattal, took to X (formerly Twitter) to give the final update on the score.

"HOOPS: Campbell Hall takes down No. 1 Crespi 79-66 at home in the Division 1 playoffs. Isaiah Johnson had 43 points. Colorado commit," he posted.

This loss marks Crespi's second-round exit from the tournament for a second consecutive year. Colorado signee and No. 40 point guard in the Class of 2025, Isaiah Johnson finished with 43 points.

Fisher led the team to a 21-9 overall record in his second season. Furthermore, his record in the California Southern Section, Mission Basketball was 4-3, sitting in the fourth spot below Harvard-Westlake, Sierra Canyon and Notre Dame.

The Campbell Hall Vikings' win means they will now meet Crean Lutheran in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. They overcame Chaminade 82-69 on Wednesday. If they defeat Crean Lutheran, they will face either Mater Dei or Santa Barbara in the Final Four of the 2025 CIF Southern Section Boys' Basketball Championships (California).
