MURRIETA — Chris Featherly considers his Murrieta Mesa boys basketball squad to be a really good offensive team. Tuesday night, in a CIF Southern Section Division 3 quarterfinal game against Ontario Christian, that offense that averaged 79.5 points per game in their first two playoff contests, was held mostly in check. And Featherly was interested to see how his team would respond.
