It was brutal. It was painful. It was the worst loss in Victoria Sanders' 20-year coaching career.

The new Narbonne era in girls basketball did not begin well with a 69-25 loss to Pacific Hills in the opening round of the Brea Olinda Tournament on Monday.

Narbonne had 29 turnovers. The Gauchos made just 8-for-25 free throws and were just 6-for-33 from the field. And no Gaucho recoded double digits in points.

"They were nervous. They couldn't buy a free throw, and the balls were rolling off their feet. It was utterly ridiculous," Sanders said. "The numbers speak for themselves. It was like they weren't taught anything."

The encore is today against Riverside Poly at 4:30 p.m. at Brea.
