Despite getting 12 points from 6-foot-5-inch senior Nick Sebald, the La Jolla High School (LJHS) Vikings boys basketball team suffered a tough 57-35 loss to the Mission Bay Buccaneers in a CIF Division 3 quarterfinal playoff game played at Mission Bay on Feb. 26. The Buccaneers jumped out to an early 17-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. “Our players did a miraculous job of competing,” said La Jolla coach Kamal Assaf. In the second quarter, La Jolla stayed competitive behind the play of Sebald, 5-foot-10-inch senior Will Schrier and 5-foot-8-inch junior Tony Tran. Schrier sank two three-point baskets, Tran tallied one three-pointer and Sebald converted two free throws from the charity stripe as the Vikings closed the gap to 29-20 heading into halftime. “We were really undersized and undermanned,” Assaf said. After the intermission, it showed as La Jolla trailed 40-27 at the end of the third quarter and 50-29 early in the fourth when 6-foot-5-inch Mission Bay senior Jimmie Edler-Chapman jammed home a dunk. La Jolla would get four more points from Sebald and two more from 6-foot-3-inch senior Jake Baronowski, but it just wasn’t going to be enough. Schrier and Baronowski finished with 10 points apiece for the Vikings. Edler-Chapman led the Buccaneers with 22 points, while 6-foot-1-inch junior Jerald Albritton added 12 for Mission Bay. With the win, the Buccaneers improve their record to 14-10 and move on to the CIF Division 3 semifinal basketball playoffs.  With the loss, La Jolla concludes its season with a record of 13-17.    Other boys basketball CIF playoff action: CIF Division 3 scores:  University City 59, Cathedral Catholic 51 CIF Division 4 scores:  La Jolla Country Day 75, Imperial 32 The Bishop’s School 54, Mater Dei 37
