High School Roundup: Ocean View boys’ basketball opens season with a blowout win

In Jimmy Harris’ first game back leading the Ocean View High boys’ basketball team as a head coach, the Seahawks easily won.

Senior guards Kurtis Vu and Devon Vu finished with 14 points apiece, and host Ocean View opened the season with a 73-34 win over Laguna Hills in a Jim Harris Classic pool-play game on Tuesday night.
