The game was part of the CIF San Diego 2017 Boys Soccer Championships – Boys Open Division.

Coronado Boys Varsity Basketball Team is ranked number one in San Diego County Division III and for good reason.  On Tuesday night, they set a new school record for wins with 28 by crushing Vincent Memorial 67-36 in first round CIF playoff action.

The Islanders raced out to a 44-21 lead at halftime, led by the sharp shooting of Myles Manning and the inside play of Dejon Jackson. Coronado also had 9 steals in the first half to thoroughly dominate the Scots from Calexico.

The game played out as expected; more of a tune-up for round two, than a match-up. DJ Jackson led Coronado with 27 points on 13 of 17 shooting. Jackson also hauled in a game high 16 rebounds. Myles Manning added 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting. David Rusu, Bruen Roulier, and Caden Gentry scored 7 points apiece.

Next up for the Islanders are the Mount Miguel Matadors who come to town on Saturday (2/25). Tip-off is at 7pm. Come out and cheer on your record setting team!
