02.16.07 - Loss to El Camino ends season
With the discovery that there was an outside chance at garnering the last of the 20 post-season positions available with a win over El Camino College on Friday night, the Cerritos College men's basketball team came out and played flat for the first 35 minutes of the game and suffered an 80-67 loss. A win by the Falcons (11-18 overall) would have secured them sole possession of second place in the South Coast Conference South Division, which would have make them an outside chance at a post-season bid. But, with the loss to the Warriors (15-12), both teams, along with Los Angeles Southwest College, finish the division with 4-4 records. The teams will be selected for the playoffs on Monday afternoon...[more]
