In a high-pressure Mission League opener, it was freshman Isaiah Barnes delivering the biggest basket of the night, making a three to wipe out a two-point deficit in the final minutes and ignite host Crespi to a 57-50 victory over St. Francis on Friday night.

The Celts (17-2, 1-0) were able to survive a 30-point performance from St. Francis’ Mazi Mosley, who didn’t score in the final 5:41 after sophomore Malakai Perrantes started to make it a little harder for him to get the ball.

Barnes scored eight of his 13 points in the fourth quarter. Peyton White finished with 15 points and Joe Sterling 10.

Crespi plays host to Harvard-Westlake on Wednesday in a game in which Crespi coach Derek Fisher will coach against Christian Horry, the son of former Lakers teammate Robert Horry.

“I’m glad no one is planning to come and watch me and Rob play basketball. We’re done,” he said.
