It seems early 2017 has been pretty good to current and former Maranatha High basketball players.<\/p>\n

The current day Minutemen paved a path all the way to the CIF-SS Division 1-AA title game, and a berth in the CIF State Division 2 playoffs.<\/p>\n

And 2015 Maranatha alum, Tyler Dorsey, made himself a household name over the past 9 days.<\/p>\n

The Oregon guard led all scorers with 27 points in a 74-60 victory over top-seeded Kansas, Saturday in Kansas City.<\/p>\n

The Ducks didn’t just overcome a de facto home game for the Jayhawks, the victory earned Oregon its first spot in the Final Four since 1939.<\/p>\n

Dorsey’s 27 points are double his scoring average, and he’s played his best basketball in the tournament.<\/p>\n

So far, Dorsey has scored 98 points in four games, and has done so on 33 of 50 shooting, which comes out to a remarkable 66-percent.<\/p>\n

Oregon will face the winner of Sunday’s North Carolina-Kentucky game in Phoenix next Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Dorsey led Maranatha to a perfect Olympic League run back in 2015 and a CIF championship, when he averaged 35 points per game.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Oregon saw its 18-point lead drop all the way to 66-60, but Dorsey hit a clutch 3-pointer with less than two minutes to play and all but ended the top-seeded Jayhawks chances.<\/p>\n

Heading into the tournament, Dorsey averaged 14 points and 4 rebounds per game, but in the postseason, he’s scoring 25 points per game.<\/p>\n

“Tyler is an incredible leader who plays his best in big games,” Maranatha athletic director Brian DeHaan said. “He has the ability to take over a game and did it many times during the CIF championship run he led us on. All of Maranatha watches on proudly and it’s great to have played a small part in Tyler’s incredible journey. Go Ducks!”<\/p>\n

Dorsey’s Scoring in NCAA Tournament:<\/strong>
\n27 points vs Kansas
\n20 vs Michigan
\n27 vs Rhode Island
\n24 vs Iona<\/p>\n

Oregon’s NCAA Tournament Run:<\/strong>
\n3\/17: Oregon 93, Iona 77
\n3\/19: Oregon 75, Rhode Island 72
\n3\/23: Oregon 69, Michigan 68
\n3\/25: Oregon 74, Kansas 60<\/p>\n
