\n(South El Monte) – South El Monte rallied from a 12 point first quarter deficit to take the lead at halftime but the Eagles fell short in the end in a 67-62 loss to Eastside Friday night in the CIF Division 4A playoffs. <\/p>\n

Leading 49-47 heading into the fourth quarter South El Monte was outscored 20-13 by Eastside in the final frame to take the five point loss. Robert Felix knocked down a pair of threes in the fourth quarter for South but Eastside with a balanced attack had enough to hold off the Eagles.<\/p>\n

South El Monte looked like they were on the verge of getting blown out in the first quarter as Eastside buried four three pointers in the quarter to lead 23-11 after one. Josue Ramirez scored five in the quarter for South El Monte but the Eagles had a big hill to climb.<\/p>\n

They climbed it in the second with their biggest quarter of the night. The Eagles outscored Eastside 20-6 in the period as Ramirez scored nine points and Joshua Medina added six. South took a 49-47 lead into the break.<\/p>\n
