split

Dear Family and Friends:

Riki’s Redondo Union High School team split their first two games in the Gahr (Cerritos) tournament, defeating Huntington Park 51-39 in the first round and losing to Long Beach Jordan 39-43 in the second game. Riki scored 3 and 7 points respectively and has played 75-85% of the games. In the Jordan game, Riki’s late three-pointer with 20 seconds left made it exciting (she also had a driving layup just fall out) but they still fell short, unfortunately.

Redondo’s third game is Monday, 12/29 at 3 p.m. vs. St. Mattias of Downey. If they win on Monday, they will play at 4:30 on Tuesday (1:30 if they lose).

Also, Redondo’s team was featured in last week’s Beach Reporter and Riki was part of a nice lead photograph. I have attached copies of the photo and article. (One correction: the article cites Riki as one of Redondo’s two returning varsity players… she isn’t. Unfortunately, the player who is returning wasn’t identified.)

Thank you for your continuing support of Riki!
