H.B. Team Neighbor withstands the Heat

Huntington Beach Team Neighbor pressured the Diamond Bar Heat

throughout their National Junior Basketball contest last weekend, and

the locals came away with a 44-19 victory in a girls’ All-Net

division game at Orange Coast College.

Team Neighbor, playing with just six players, didn’t let up on its

pressure until the final buzzer, coach Tim Brennan said.

“We kept the Heat off balance with relentless defensive pressure

throughout the contest,” Brennan said. “The strength of this team is

defense and their unity. With every game, our court vision improves,

which makes finding the open player on offense easier.”

Meghan White and Janet Kim led the scoring for Team Neighbor with

11 points each. Brittany Frers also scored in double figures, netting

10 points, and all six Team Neighbors players hit the scoring column.

The Team Neighbors roster is composed of students from Marine View

and Mesa View middle schools.

Huntington faces Brea Sunday at Orange Coast College.

Winter signups are currently underway, and previous basketball

experience is needed.
