Girls basketball: Hawkins bright spot

CORONA DEL MAR - Corona del Mar High senior Carrie Hawkins, who had

missed the girls basketball team’s last 16 games with a knee injury,

closed out her varsity career with a five-point performance in the Sea

Kings’ 38-34 Pacific Coast League home loss to Northwood Thursday.

Hawkins, who started on senior night, was a highlight for the hosts

(7-18, 2-8), who came up short in their bid to knock Northwood out of its

third-place tie with Costa Mesa.

CdM Coach Elbert Davis said junior Madison Otterbein (a team-high 11

points) also played well for CdM, which saw a promising season ruined by

injuries, including a torn knee ligament that cost returning All-PCL

junior Jackie McCoy the final 19 games.

CdM seniors Andrea Gruber, Courtney Kawata, Naz Aletaha and Kelly Luu

also culminated their prep careers.
