Eric Bangs was back on the bench Monday night in a familiar role as head coach of the Woodbridge girls basketball team.
His players responded with a 72-19 victory over Capistrano Valley in the opening round of the South Coast Classic at Woodbridge.
“I haven’t missed much, it keeps Pete (Belanto) quieter when I’m the head coach,” Bangs joked after the game.
Bangs, who took a break as the head coach for the past two seasons, had little reason to worry as his squad jumped out to a 43-2 lead at halftime against Capo Valley, which was missing some key players who were still playing for the Cougars volleyball team that was in the state playoffs.
“We got a lot of people chance a play, it wasn’t real realistic, but we got a chance to work on stuff,” Bangs said.
Kelli Robinson led the way for the Warriors with 31 points and nine, 3-pointers
“She can shoot the ball,” Bangs said. “That was a nice game for her.”
Annika Walker had eight points and five rebounds and Bonnie Sarchet scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Warriors, who forced 14 turnovers in the first half.
“I really thought Annika and Bonnie showed some improvement in their game,” Bangs said. “That’s what we’re looking for. We’re looking for four or five players who can contribute and score.
“Our inside play was a little better. Everybody got to play. It’s an opening game; we’ve got a little ways to go.”
The game was played with a running clock in the fourth quarter after Woodbridge moved out to a 40-point lead.
