Milpitas-Salinas boys hoops

CCS Division I semifinals
Wednesday's game
 No. 11 Milpitas (15-12) vs. No. 7 Salinas (21-5) at Independence High, 5:30 p.m.
  No one saw Milpitas getting this far.
 Seeded No. 11 out of 16 teams, the Trojans are 3-0 in the playoffs with wins over the No. 6 and No. 3 seeds in Division I.
 Salinas is a win away from its first trip to the finals since 2009, after unseeding No. 2 seed Piedmont Hills. Its wins in the playoffs have been by three and two points.
 A member of the De Anza Division, Milpitas has rattled off five straight wins behind 6-foot-3 junior
Cristian Mejia.
  No one has meant more to its team this year than Nat Hunsorfer, who has been consistent inside on both ends of the floor.
 A strength for Salinas in the postseason has been its bench where Tim Harper and Ronan Rippere have provided minutes.
