BOYS’ BASKETBALL
Santa Margarita 61, Corona del Mar 51
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA — Max Stone scored 17 points for the Sea Kings in the season-ending loss in the CIF Southern Section Division 3A quarterfinals Tuesday night.
Joey Calise added 12 points for No. 5-seeded CdM (18-10). Blake Grable added 11 points.
Senior guard Wolfie Wood scored a game-high 25 points for No. 4-seeded Santa Margarita (17-13).
CdM Coach Ryan Schachter said the Sea Kings played hard, but had a bad second quarter, when the Eagles outscored them, 15-3.
“In that second quarter, we couldn’t buy a basket,” said Schachter, who was pleased with his team’s season. “We definitely overachieved this year and exceeded all expectationas. Making the quarterfinals is almost a minor miracle ... I am proud of the guys. We just couldn’t score in the second quarter.”
