Girls’ Basketball Roundup: Barons press forward

Senior forward Marisa Teng scored 16 points Tuesday for Fountain Valley, but the Barons were edged by host El Toro, 55-51, in nonleague girls’ basketball action.

Teng connected on five three-pointers for the Barons, who took a one-point lead (42-41) into the fourth quarter.

Senior guard Jasmine Matar and junior forward Emily Krause both scored eight points for the Barons.

In previous play, Fountain Valley went 2-2 at the Segerstrom Tournament and finished in ninth place. The Barons started the tournament with consecutive losses to Woodbridge (64-28) and Cypress (50-44), but closed strong with wins over Los Amigos (50-25) and Mission Viejo (66-40).

“Woodbridge overmatched us in every part of the game,” Barons Coach Cory Clarke said. “After that game we couldn’t find consistent play and blew a 13-point second-half lead against Cypress. We know that we can be good, but we are still learning how to play well consistently.”

The Barons begin play Wednesday at the Costa Mesa Winter Classic. They open against California of Whittier at 10:30 a.m. at Costa Mesa High.
