Mira Costa’s boys basketball team fell to Redondo High School 76-50 in an away game on Thursday. The top performers were senior point guard Brandon Chan and junior shooting guard Bobby Barkley.
Costa fell behind after Redondo got a large run in the second quarter. Costa was unable to catch back up, ultimately losing the game and tying Palos Verdes for fourth place in Bay League. According to senior guard Jonas Pittman, the team played even with Redondo most of the game and attack the basket confidently and got good looks.
“We did a good job of moving the ball around the perimeter and sharing it,” Chan said.
The Mustangs, now 13-12 overall and 3-6 in Bay League, will next compete in a CIF game that has not been set yet. According to Chan, Bay League is one of the toughest public school leagues and the team will be able to see that not every team is as good as Redondo and Peninsula.
“We need a good week of practices and we should be good,” Chan said.
