Omar Ibarra had 19 points for the Indians, including a clutch lay-up with two minutes left to go up 41-38, and made critical free throws to keep the Indians ahead.

But the Indians capitalized at the free throw on the next possession to take the lead for good.
Bel Air will host Parkland on Saturday, while the Indians host El Dorado.
