Castilleja fell behind by 16-0 to start the first quarter and trailed by 12 in the second half on the way to a 43-36 nonleague loss to host Harker in girls' basketball action Tuesday. The Gators (3-5) eventually got to within five points in the late going, but couldn't get closer than that despite a career-high 17 points from Paige Vermeer and a career-high 13 rebounds by Maddie Tarr. Ellie Chen added a career-high five assists and Yasmeen Afifi contributed four blocks for Castilleja, which is off until Dec. 27 when it takes on Wilcox in the Del Mar Dons Clubs Holiday Tournament.
