The Costa defense was even more impressive as they broke up passes all game against Redondo’s strong offense.
The game ended with Mira Costa losing 13-0 to Redondo, leaving the team with a sense of disappointment. Mira Costa knew they played their best, and that their skills and hard work they put into their outstanding first season paid off. Costa’s next opponent was Peninsula High.
