The Alta Vista High School Lobos basketball team traveled to San Miguel High School and played a hard fought game vs. the Vipers. The tightly contested game was neck and neck the entire way as the Lobos won the first quarter 16-14. The Vipers went into the intermission winning 31-30. The Lobos then cut the lead to 44-42 after three quarters while winning the quarter by a 14-13 margin. The Vipers would pull away in the 4th quarter by outscoring the Lobos 21-10.
The Vipers were given a 36-24 advantage at the free throw line as the Lobos were whistled for 25 total fouls to the Vipers 17. The Vipers made 18 of those attempts while the Lobos cashed in on only 7 of those opportunities.
The atmosphere was fantastic with a full gym filled with Alta Vista fans. Both sides cheered their teams on and it gave our players an amazing opportunity to shine.
The Lobos were paced by Jesus Leyva's 18 points. Angel Martinez checked in with 17 before fouling out of the game with 3 minutes to go.
Shaheed Clemens added 8 points and multiple rebounds before fouling out with 4 minutes to go in the game.
Milton Hernandez scored 4, Josue Boldin scored 4, and Frank Leon scored three out of 4 free throws with his Rick Barry throwback technique.
Coach Rod is very proud of the effort and heart displayed in the face of adversity.
We have improvements to make, but we have also come a long way.
The loss drops the Lobos to 4-5 on the season with 5 contests to go.
We are grateful for the support and thank everyone who traveled to cheer at our game.
Fire Up and Go Lobos!
Coach Rod
