Girls basketball: Depleted CdM falls

SAN CLEMENTE -- The Corona del Mar High girls basketball team,

playing without injured standouts Jackie McCoy and Andrea Gruber, fell

56-30 to Laguna Hills in pool play at the San Clemente Tournament

Wednesday.

McCoy, a junior who earned first-team All-Pacific Coast League and

All-Newport-Mesa District laurels last season, strained a knee in

Friday’s loss to Orange Lutheran and will undergo and MRI this week, CdM

Coach Elbert Davis said.

Gruber, a senior returning starter, suffered a cut under her eye that

is affecting her vision.

Davis said McCoy could be lost anywhere between two weeks and the

season, while Gruber will miss at least the remainder of the San Clemente

Tournament.

Senior Courtney Kawata and junior Kelliann Klein led CdM (3-4) with

seven points apiece Wednesday.
