De La Salle’s perfect start to the season has come to an end.
In a matchup against two-time defending Open Division state champion Harvard-Westlake of Studio City, the Spartans were overwhelmed much of the way and went on to lose 58-44 on Saturday night.
The result in Gilbert, Arizona, gave Harvard-Westlake the Hoophall West championship and handed De La Salle its first loss of the season after 14 consecutive victories.
The Spartans reached the final with wins over Duncanville, Texas, and Chaminade-St.
