Surprise, surprise.

The Kentridge High boys basketball team, pegged the sleeper of the Class 4A state tournament, knocked off Inglemoor on Thursday night 60-48 to earn a berth in Friday's semifinals.

Kentridge (19-8) will play top-ranked Federal Way at 7 p.m. on Friday for a berth in the state championship game.

The Chargers split a pair of games this year with Federal Way, which is the favorite to win it all.

Sophomore guard Gary Bell torched Inglemoor for a game-high 32 points while backcourt teammate Shaquielle McKissic added 17.
