A game-high 32 points from star guard Dejan Vasiljevic and 30 points and 12 rebounds from Australian under-19s teammate Jack White lifted Lake Ginninderra to a 91-84 win against Aquinas College in their semi-final at the Southern Cross basketball stadium in Tuggeranong on Thursday.
Lake Ginninderra will now face Ignatius Park in Friday's grand final at 3pm on court four.
With a scout from US college Stanford watching, Vasiljevic put on a splendid display including connecting on seven shots from long range.
White was just as impressive to record a double-double and help Lake Ginninderra to its fourth straight win this week.
Lake Ginninderra is aiming for its first national title since former No.5 NBA draft pick Dante Exum featured in the school's victory in 2013.
Ignatius Park defeated Sydney Boys High 95-82 behind William McDowell-White's incredible 49 points and 15 rebounds.
John Paul College will face St Joseph's Catholic College in the women's final at 1pm on Tuggeranong court four.
John Paul College easily accounted for Westfields Sports High 84-63, while St Joseph's defeated Box Hill Secondary College 72-49.
