San Marin High Sports Update Dec. 3-8

Basketball season is off and running as all six teams played multiple games over the week including some tournament action.  Wrestling hosted its annual Green and Gold Tournament which saw over 20 schools compete.  Also the MCAL Fall All-League Teams were released which included many San Marin athletes. 

BASKETBALL – GIRLS & BOYS

Varsity Boys – The boys participated in the 44^th annual Rose City Tournament over the weekend hosted by Cardinal Newman HS.  For the fourth year in a row, San Marin came home with some hardware as they placed 3^rd.  Jason Reyff was named to the all-tournament team. 

On Thursday, the boys opened play with a 47-40 win over Windsor.  In a slow paced game, the Mustang defense bailed out a cold shooting night.  Noah Everly led all scorers with 18 points, while Jason Reyff and Manny Wilkins combined for 22 rebounds (12 and 10 respectively).  Wilkins also had 5 assists on the night. 

The win setup a semi-final game against St. Mary’s (Berkeley).  The Mustangs came out hot scoring 40 in the first half.  The usual up-tempo Panthers actually resorted to slowing the pace down in the second half and their plan worked.  San Marin could only garner 15 second half points.  Just a 2 point game with four minutes to play, the Mustangs could not cash in on numerous good looks and St. Mary’s eventually sealed the game away with free throws winning 62-55.  Jason Reyff had a near triple double with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 8 blocks.  Shay Stubblefield dished out 5 assists.

Saturday saw San Marin take on MCAL opponent Redwood in the 3^rd place game.  In their most complete game of the season, the Mustangs led from start to finish with a 72-64 win.  The game saw a huge night from Mustang center Jason Reyff who scored 25 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.  Noah Everly helped setup many of Reyff’s baskets, as he had 6 assists to go along with 12 points.   

JV Boys- The JV boys had a thrilling 56-51 overtime win against El Molino on Tuesday.  Taylor Myers led the Mustang offense and had some key baskets in overtime to seal the game away.

Over the weekend, the boys played in the very competitive Acalanes Tournament.  They came up just short in all 3 games, but hung tight and almost pulled out each one.   The boys got solid minutes in the paint from Grant Shepardson and Lucas Hassett. 

Frosh Boys-  The frosh boys had four games last week.  On Tuesday, they won at El Molino 53-21.  It was a complete effort by the whole team led by Colin Moore's 16 points.

The boys then played in the Novato Touranment over the weekend and finished 3^rd.  They won their first game in a dominating  51-18 win over Cardinal Newman.  The boys came up just short in their second game against MCAL foe Drake.  In a battle that will also be played twice in league this year, San Marin got great games from Nick Corbani, Dante Restivo and Colin Moore.  Saturday night the boys closed out the tourney winning the Consolation pool by 7 against Encinal.  Colin Moore recorded his first double/double of the year with 11 points and 11 rebounds.   Josh Garcia also chipped in a solid game with 9 points.

Varsity Girls-  The girls took on East Bay power St. Patrick/St. Vincent on Thursday.  The Mustangs took the lead from the tip and held it until late in the 4^th quarter.  The hard and physical game was well played by both teams.   The Mustangs handled St. Pats high tempo,  full court pressure and nearly walked away with the win.   Coach Lucia responded, “I was very enthused with how competitive our girls were.  They never let up and actually ended up being the team who was the most physical.”  The Mustangs had their chances to win it with under a minute to go, but couldn't get one of four offensive rebound put backs to fall.  Hayley Nicolini led the girls with 13 points, Maya Stevens added 10, Kaleah Williams had 8, Paige McIntosh chipped in 7 and Jenna Sudlow was huge on the boards leading to 6 points.

JV Girls-  The JV girls gave a good St. Pats team all they could handle Thursday, but fell short by 5.  Camille Milliner had a great defensive game guarding there best player and holding her in check.  Patty Dougherty had a huge late 3 pointer to give the Mustangs a chance, but St. Pats hit their free throws down the stretch to ice the game. 

Frosh Girls- The frosh girls played their first game last week and pulled out a 24-23 down to the wire victory versus St. Pats-St. Vincents.   Regan Andel hit the game winning free throw with less than 40 seconds left in the game.  She also had team with 9 points, while Tyana Samuel had a team high 3 blocks. 

Wrestling

The Mustangs hosted the annual Green and Gold Tournament over the weekend.  The young squad got some solid mat time in and looks to continue to grow moving forward.  Highlights included Robert Smith, Sebastian Swetland and Jason Draper’s wins.
