Quotable:
La Salle coach, Scott Wiard: “Los Osos is really talented, but missing their best player changes them so much. I’m proud of our kids for playing four quarters of defense and trusting each other to make the right play on offense. We will continue to focus on getting better for the games in January and February.”
