Surf City Blues win again

The West Huntington Beach Surf City Blues continued their winning

ways Sunday with a 30-25 victory over the Santa Ana Shooting Stars in a

National Junior Basketball girls 6th-grade All-Net game.

The win sets up a Sunday showdown for first place against Villa Park

Santa Ana jumped out to an early four point lead, but Courtney Brown’s

six points and three steals in the second quarter helped lead Surf City

to a one point halftime lead.

ball handling of Rachael Maulit and Catherine Marcoly put Surf City in

control in the final two minutes.

rebounds and eight points, and Laura Boggeln pulled down nine rebounds
