Brea Olinda crushes Fairfax without Hartman

The Brea Olinda girls basketball team rolled to a 70-24 victory over Fairfax of Los Angeles in pool play of the Ladycat Classic on Tuesday at Brea Olinda High.

The defending CIF-SS Division II-AA champion and State Division II champion Ladycats (2-0) played without All-County center Justine Hartman, who will not play this season because of a torn ACL and associated cartilage damage in her right knee.

Hartman, a 6-foot-2 junior, said she will have surgery sometime within the next two months, but no date has been set. She plans to be back for her senior season.

The Ladycats got contributions from a lot of players against the Lions (0-1), who reached the L.A. City Section semifinals last season.

Sophomore Keitra Wallace led the way with 13 points and six rebounds. Kelsey Harris had 12 points, including three 3-pointers.

Anna Kim scored eight points, all in the first quarter, to help ignite a 27-4 opening run for the Ladycats.

Brea advances to the semifinals of the Ladycat Classic. That game is at 6:15 p.m. Thursday.

The tournament's championship game is at 8 p.m. Saturday.
