DOWNEY – “To be honest with you, I am not worried about Warren at all right now,” said Downey head coach Nathan Harris after the Warren game last week. “‘Because we play Gahr on Friday and Gahr is who we’re battling with for third place to try to make the playoffs. We are definitely prepared to beat them.”

After hoping for weeks that they would finish the season in third place, a weak first half led Downey’s girls’ basketball team to a 72-62 loss against Gahr last Friday and placed the team in fourth place in the San Gabriel Valley League.

The first half ended with Gahr coming out with a 20-point lead over Downey.

Demetria Love finished with 10 rebounds for the Vikings, while Debra Lovell aided defensively with eight defensive rebounds. Leading the offense was point guard Katie Marifian, who scored exactly half of all of Downey’s points. Her monstrous game greatly aided Downey in the end, but it was not just her that helped the girls. Irma Urzua practically scored the remainder of the points with 15 baskets.
