Boys Basketball:
Tuesday’s Valle Vista League basketball game between first-place Charter Oak and last-place Northview was going to be a heavy mismatch.
So much so that COHS star Andrew Bongo outscored the Vikings, 34-28.
And Bongo played just three quarters.
Charter Oak went on to defeat Northview, 79-28, and claimed at least a share of the VVL championship.
With one game to go, COHS leads Covina by one game, and they close out the regular season at fifth-place Diamond Ranch (1-6) on Thursday.
Bongo hit six 3-pointrs as part of his game-high 34 points.
Jay Gonzalez chipped in with 19 points and Sam Lizardo finished with 12.
Mills Perucho, Sam Alvarez and Sam Osi had six points apiece for the Vikings.
