The Alta Vista High School Lobos basketball team evened their record to 5-5 with a victory over the Immaculate Heart Knights 44-24. The Lobos played excellent team defense but was slow to find the hoop in the first half. The Lobos held a 20-13 lead at half time and emerged from the locker room with the needed adjustments. The seven point lead then ballooned to a 14 point lead with a 7 point outburst by Miguel Maldonado who hit back to back lay ups and a game changing 3 point dagger. Josue Boldin had a career high scoring night to lead all scorers with 14 points and 12 rebounds. The sophomore is realizing his potential for the future. Frank Leon, with his throw-back, Rick Barry style of shooting, continues to lead the Lobos in free-throw percentage and overall team hustle. Jesus Leyva was the Iron Man for the Lobos by playing the entire game and playing multiple positions on defense. He showed true senior leadership last night.
Overall it was a great team effort by young men who are learning how to trust one another on and off the basketball court.
The Lobos return to action on the road at St Augustine Catholic High School next Wednesday.
We will celebrate our annual Senior Night next Thursday vs. Academy of Tucson.
We give a huge THANK YOU to the parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and students who continue to support us. We are grateful!!!!!
Fire up and GO LOBOS!
Coach Rod
