Compton vs East Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — The East Los Angeles College Huskies, coming off a decisive road victory, will host the struggling Compton College Tartars in a California community college men’s basketball matchup on Friday.

The Huskies (3-2) are looking to build momentum after a 74-57 win at Moorpark on Sunday. Landon Winston and Terrence Hampton each scored 18 points in that contest to lead a balanced offensive effort.

They will face a Compton team (2-6) mired in a five-game losing streak. The Tartars are looking to rebound from a 62-82 loss at Santa Monica on Sunday, their third consecutive defeat by 20 or more points. Khafre Garrett-Mills was a bright spot in the loss, scoring 19 points.

Compton’s last win came on Nov. 1, an 87-75 victory at San Jose. Since then, the Tartars have been outscored by an average of over 20 points per game.

East Los Angeles has shown a strong home-court advantage this season, most notably in an 80-56 victory over Long Beach on Nov. 5. The Huskies’ two losses have come by a combined 14 points on the road.

Friday’s game will be the final contest for both teams before the Thanksgiving break. East Los Angeles will next travel to Riverside on Dec. 3, while Compton is scheduled to visit Pasadena City on Nov. 25.
