Fairfax (Los Angeles) knocked down key free throws down the stretch to stymie a late rally from host Iolani, 47-43, in overtime of the final quarterfinal game of the 32nd annual Iolani Boys Prep Classic Saturday night.

Babacar Thiombane scored 13 points with six rebounds and Ethan Anderson added 10 points off the bench to help the Lions hand the Raiders their first loss of the preseason.

Iolani's Hugh Hogland had 16 points and six rebounds with two blocks to lead all scorers. Zach Gelacio joined Hogland in double figures with 10 points. 

The Raiders were able to force overtime with an 11-3 advantage in the fourth quarter. Robby Mann's energy helped lead the late charge for Iolani.

The Lions will face La Lumiere (La Porte, Ind.), the third-ranked team in the country, on Monday in an 8 p.m. semifinal game.
