White Lightning completes perfect season

The White Lightning, a Division 2 team out of Pacific Coast Hoops,

completed a perfect season last weekend with a 38-16 victory over

Team Nine.

The win capped a 9-0 regular season for the squad, which earned

that record behind a stifling defense and productive offense that

featured unselfish passing, said head coach, Anthony Petrarca.

The White Lightning is composed of Elijah Herrera, John Torres,

Jose Romero, Derek Weiser, Mitchell Alvarez, Jay Rowerdink Jr., Adam

Petrarca, Cade Hernandez and assistant coach Al Hernandez.
