Center Ytteb Bowls had 21 points and 15 rebounds as Channel Islands High upset Thousand Oaks, 73-70, Friday night in triple overtime to capture the Thousand Oaks girls’ basketball tournament.

Bowls, the tournament MVP, and center Sal Tauau, who scored 25 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, took advantage of the Lancers’ lack of a true center.

Bowls scored the winning basket with 18 seconds left in the third overtime as she tipped in her own rebound to put the Lady Raiders ahead, 71-70.
