Nate Calmese scores 34 points to lift No. 6-seeded Gilbert Mesquite (27-3) over Salpointe 64-58 on Monday night.
By Al Bravo Special to the Arizona Daily Star PHOENIX – Having had a hard time stopping the semifinal hero, the Salpointe Catholic High School boys basketball team came up short in its second trip to the final in three years.
The Lancers , as a No. 2 seed, lost in the semifinals a year ago after winning it all in 2020 over Peoria in overtime. “Once they got the lead, the adrenaline goes and they were playing more aggressive,” Castillo said. “They were trapping real well. It was just a great effort by them. But our kids didn’t stop playing. Our hearts' broken. We wanted to come up and win.”
