Salesian holds Serra to two made field goals in the fourth quarter, will play University-San Francisco on Thursday
SAN PABLO – Stars get the most of the glory on a championship run, but it is the so-called “role players” who are often the difference between an early exit or a deep foray into the playoffs.
He scored five points in the first half and also bothered Serra’s guards into mistakes with his energy and activity as a defender. The first quarter was a points bonanza compared to the rest of the game, with Salesian finishing ahead 16-13 after eight minutes. The teams made one basket apiece in the second quarter, which was a great sign for Salesian’s defense but also caused its coach some concern.
But instead of sparking a comeback, that make was the last highlight of the San Mateo school’s remarkable season. The Padres started West Catholic Athletic League play 0-4. Rather than giving up on the season, Serra won seven of its last 10 regular season games. It then went 3-0 in Central Coast Section pool play, including an upset over NorCal Open team Archbishop Mitty, and lost by just six points in the section championship game against Sacred Heart Cathedral.
