Whitney-Bel-Air Prep Play in Small School Final
- Share via
Whitney of Cerritos and Bel-Air Prep, teams with their minds on this season but an eye toward the future, will play tonight at 7:30 at Santa Monica College for the Southern Section Small Schools boys’ basketball championship.
Whitney (21-5) starts five juniors and has just two seniors on the roster, although it is experienced.
The Wildcats lost to Needles in the quarterfinals last season. This season, they beat third-seeded Silver Valley of Yermo in the quarterfinals and No. 1 Ventura Temple Christian in Tuesday’s semifinals.
Bel-Air Prep Coach Tony Venditto has two seniors, two juniors and a sophomore in his starting lineup and the Bruins responded by going 18-8, with five of the losses against higher-divison teams.
