Highlights: Sophomore Kenyon Elliott's short jumper at the buzzer gave second-seeded Bishop McDevitt a victory over third-seeded Berks Catholic in a District 3 Class 4A semifinal in Harrisburg.

The Crusaders (21-3) set up their final shot after a ball went out of bounds under the basket with 1.9 seconds left.

McDevitt advances to the championship game Wednesday at Giant Center at 8 against No. 5 Lancaster Catholic, a 49-45 winner over Susquehanna Township.

The Saints (21-6) will play eighth-seeded Township in the third-place state seeding game.

McDevitt's Ben Marsico missed a pair of free throws with 1:12 left but grabbed his own rebound and the Crusaders held for the final shot. The Saints were in the double-bonus and could not afford to foul in the final minute.

Marsico's drive was blocked by Matt Harley and went out of bounds with 1.9 seconds remaining, setting up the final sequence.

Kyran Mitchell led the Saints with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Luis Garcia had nine points.

Tarajae had 14 points and John Kelly 12 for McDevitt.
