A Tough Loss
Breaking News from the CIF-State Playoffs.
Second Round
Division IV playoffs
Garces Memorial 48, Whittier Christian 46.
Up by 9 points with a little over two minutes left, Whittier Christian surrendered a 14-3 run to the host Rams, Central Section Division IV champs, in falling by a deuce.
It was a tough loss by the Heralds, champions of D-VAA, who committed eight turnovers in the fourth and three in the final 70 seconds.
Callie Rohrbacker and Kristen Schaefer scored a team-high 12 points for the Heralds.
I'll have more of an update once I get over the grapevine.

It was a tough game to lose. WCHS had the game won. While I give credit to the Rams for their tenacious defense the 4th quarter, they were helped out by 3 questionable fouls (by the same referee) the last 2 minutes. Fatigue may have also been a factor. When Ronquillo hit the 3 pointer to to put us back within 1 point there should have been 3 seconds on the clock, not 1.4. Whoever was keeping time had the clock at 0.4 seconds. The head ref had to come over to tell him to put some time back on the clock. The loss stings, but it was a great season and to win back to back League & CIF Championsips is a great accomplishment.
