Kayshawn Dunston's two free throws with four seconds left capped his 22-point night and made No. 5 seed Atlantic City a 65-63 winner at top-seeded Eastern on Saturday in a South Jersey Group 4 boys' basketball semifinal.

Dunston's foul shots gave the Vikings a five-point lead. Eastern hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to pull within two.

Brett Knoblauch (19 points) and Mike Wilson (16) led the Vikings.

Atlantic City will travel to No. 2 seed Cherry Hill East for the title game on Tuesday.

South Jersey Non-Public B. Sacred Heart's improbable tournament run to the semifinals came to a painful end, when the 10th-seeded Lions were routed by No. 3 seed Trenton Catholic, 82-43.

Khlye Lee-Williams scored 10 points for Sacred Heart, which had taken down seventh-seeded Doane Academy and No. 2 seed Timothy Christian in the first two rounds.

Charles Cooke had 14 points for Trenton Catholic, which will take on top seed Gill St. Bernard's for the championship on Tuesday at Jackson Liberty.

South Jersey Non-Public A. Ryan Schoppy scored 20 points in keying Gloucester Catholic's second-half surge, but it was not enough to keep the 10th-seeded Rams from falling, 55-44, at No. 2 seed Notre Dame in a quarterfinal.

Notre Dame will host No. 3 seed Paul VI in a semifinal on Monday.
