 Redondo's 55-52 boys basketball victory over West Torrance Tueday at Redondo was important for the Sea Hawks on many levels.Redondo's win snapped a 13-game winning streak for West (16-5, 4-1) and pushed the Sea Hawks (10-10, 4-1) into a three-way tie for first place at the halfway point of Bay League play with West and Leuzinger.
But the win had a little added significance for Redondo coach Tom Maier; it was the 600th victory of his 35-year coaching career.
"600 wins? It's a nice mark, but I'll tell you that I've lost almost half as many," Maier said. "It means I've been around for a long time, but it's something that I'm very proud of."
Maier is in his eighth season at Redondo after spending 27 years coaching at Chadwick.
Junior guard Jamar Cannon led Redondo Tueday with 19 points and 13 rebounds and said he was proud to help Maier secure the coaching milestone.
"This is how we wanted to do it, in our gym and on our home floor," Cannon said. "It's a great achievement for coach." |
