Girls basketball: Sailors edged by Alhambra
DOWNEY - Costly mistakes down the stretch proved to be the
difference for the Newport Harbor High girls basketball team in
Thursday’s 36-33 loss to Alhambra in consolation action at the Artesia
Tournament, played at Warren High.
Freshman Jillianne Whitfield led the Sailors (0-9) with eight points,
while Evita Castillo chipped in with seven.
The Sailors led 26-21 after three quarters, but could not hold the
lead.
“We’re due for our first win,” said upbeat Newport Coach Glenn Albios.
“I think our girls aren’t used to having a lead down the stretch and it
takes time to handle it well. We’re playing better and better each game.”
The Sailors will play the loser of the Long Beach Wilson-Cathedral
City contest today at 5:10 p.m. at the Hawaiian Gardens Center.
