LOS ALAMITOS – For the Los Alamitos boys basketball team, this week is all about survive and advance.
With their back against the wall, the Griffins took control of their Surf League finale against Edison and produced a 60-45 victory Wednesday night at Los Alamitos High.
With Newport Harbor’s 54-29 victory over Corona del Mar on Wednesday, all four teams in the Surf League finish tied for first and will share the league title.
The Surf League will play tiebreaker games at Marina High on Thursday to determine which teams will receive the league’s two guaranteed playoff spots. Corona del Mar will play Newport Harbor at 5:30 p.m. followed by Edison-Los Alamitos at 7 p.m.

“This feels good,” Los Al coach Eddie Courtemarche said. “If you would’ve told me a few weeks ago that we’d be in this position for a championship, I’d probably laugh a little bit. This just shows you how tough our guys are and how much they want to compete.
“It feels really good to be a part of the first Surf League championship.”
Los Alamitos needs to win to advance to the CIF-SS playoffs; a loss would end its season.
With a win Thursday, Los Alamitos (11-16, 3-3) would secure a guaranteed playoff spot. But if the Griffins lose, their sub-.500 overall record would keep them from qualifying for an at-large playoff berth.
“Tomorrow’s game is going to be a dogfight,” Los Alamitos guard Everett May said. “We are fighting for a playoff berth. I want to make the playoffs. We all want to make the playoffs so bad.”

In Wednesday’s game, the Griffins fell behind at the end of the first quarter 16-9, but they went on a 15-2 run to start the second quarter and never looked back thanks to May’s 16 points and seven rebounds.
“I’m pretty sure Edison was focused on David (Olcomendy) and myself after coming off a big game last time,” Los Alamitos guard Kevin Kent said. “Everett was big for us tonight. He hit a couple 3’s and helped spread the floor out.”
Edison lost to Los Alamitos 61-57 at home on Jan. 18.
Kent scored 14 points while dishing out five assists, while Olcomendy added 14 points and six rebounds.
