Castle Rock, which ended its year at 20-5, pulled within the final margin on Kyle Karnofski's trey with 2 seconds left.

Clint Burgoyne led Castle Rock with 13 points, and Karnofski had six rebounds.

Castle Rock led by nine midway through the third quarter but couldn't put the Eagles away. Bettinger gave CPC its first lead since the opening moments on a 3-pointer with 4:41 to play that pushed the Eagles ahead 37-36.

The teams traded leads four more times until Jon Ramos hit two free throws that gave CPC a 44-42 lead the team would never relinquish.

The Rockets made 52 percent (14 of 27) of their field-goal attempts.
