The Corona del Mar High girls basketball team took third place in the
Duarte tournament, defeating Duarte, 57-56, in the third-place
consolation game Saturday at Duarte High.
Duarte was down, 57-55, with five seconds remaining as Amanda Near
drove the court and was fouled by CdM (2-5) beyond the arc. CdM
escaped, though, as she only hit one of three free throws.
Katie Schulte led the Sea Kings with 13 points and was nominated
for the Duarte all-tournament team.
The Sea Kings open play in the Buena Park tournament at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday against Magnolia.
