As soon as it was over, Nate Calmese went into the stands, put on a pair of sunglasses and celebrate on the floor with the gold ball.
After it ended Monday night, riding the wild wave from St. Mary's to Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Nate Calmese put on a pair of sunglasses and a chain and held the gold ball over his head, basking in the afterglow of a state championship.
Sixth-seed Mesquite knocked off the Nos. 2 and 1 seeds in its last two games to win its first state championship. Mesquite didn't lose a game to a 4A team this season. But Calmese couldn't be denied. Not after his 28 points against St. Mary's, including the play that made ESPN's SportsCenter No. 1 play of the day last week when he intercepted a long pass, got the ball back and swished a shot beyond half court to stun St. Mary's 74-73 at the buzzer.So when Salpointe took a 30-24 lead with 4:50 left in the first half on Brett Rosenblatt's layup, Lynch called a time out. The Wildcats regrouped and came out on fire.
Calmese scored myriad ways. In the paint off the dribble. On follow shots. On a step-back 3. In transition. "St. Mary's was a great game, that was a crazy shot," Calmese said."But we weren't satisfied at all. We were celebrating for a little bit and then we got over it. We just locked in and got prepared for Salpointe."
