Riki’s Redondo Union High School team continues to work its way through the midpoint of the season having split their four games in the Gahr tournament before the end of the year. Now at 5-7 on the year, they have 14 games remaining, 10 of which are in Bay League competition.
Redondo plays this Saturday 1/10 at Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra at 3 p.m. This game should be interesting for Riki as Keppel is primarily made up of Asian players, some of whom played club ball for the organization Riki grew up with (SGV). Redondo’s size should be a factor. For those interested, the schools’ frosh/soph teams hook-up at 12 noon and the JV teams play at 1:30 p.m.
Redondo begins Bay League play next week when they host the Palos Verdes teams (PV on Tuesday and Peninsula on Friday). Varsity girls games start at 6 p.m. and are followed by Varsity boys (and preceded by JV games). They end next week with a tough game at highly-ranked Santa Monica on Saturday 1/17 at 8 p.m.
On a personal note, Riki has just set the school’s season record for taking charges. Through 12 games, Riki has taken 10 charges (the old record was 8 set by now assistant coach Alison Bretania). Of course, every time Riki hits the floor, we cringe.
Thanks for the continued support!
