Keith Hornsby drained four 3-pointers and scored 22 points last night to help Oak Hill (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) race past Dr. Phillips (Orlando, Fla.), 81-51, in the 'Iolani Prep Classic semifinals.

The Warriors, ranked No. 1 in the nation by ESPN Rise and USA Today, will face No. 25 (by USA Today) Montverde (Fla.) in tonight's 8 o'clock championship game.

Dr. Phillips, ranked No. 45 by ESPN Rise, will play USA Today No. 14 Mount Vernon (N.Y.) for third place at 6:30.

Oak Hill made quick work of Dr. Phillips, jumping out to leads of 21-7 after one period and 36-16 at halftime. It was 62-28 entering the fourth quarter.

Hornsby, however, suffered an ankle injury in the second half.

"I thought he sprained it, but he said somebody fell on it so I'm hoping he will be OK to play tomorrow," Warriors coach Steve Smith said.

Smith said he employed several different zone defenses to try and neutralize Panthers point guard Shane Larkin, who has committed to play for DePaul University next season.

Larkin finished with 12 points, but had only five at halftime.

"I respected Larkin and wanted to try and get the ball out of his hands," said Smith, who picked up his 801st career victory. "We used about six or seven different defenses, and he wasn't able to get untracked."

Jordan Adams added 16 points and Ben McLemore contributed 13 points for Oak Hill, which again got many assists from silky smooth point guard Quinn Cook.

Roderick Lawrence added 11 points for Dr. Phillips.
