The Southern Section ruled that the Oxnard Santa Clara High boys’ basketball team will not be allowed to participate in regular-season tournaments next season and that the school’s athletic department be put on probation until June, 1990, as a result of Santa Clara’s pulling out of the Estancia tournament last Dec. 29-30.
Santa Clara refused to return to the tournament for its final two games after Coach Lou Cvijanovich complained about the officiating in a 39-38 second-round loss to Huntington Beach Edison.
Santa Clara must also pay financial restitution to Estancia for losses in gate and concession receipts, and must reimburse travel expenses to Laguna Hills and Huntington Beach, the teams that were scheduled to play Santa Clara in the forfeited games.
