Some exciting basketball was played in Marin County last night - In the first game, the Lincoln Mustangs proved to be a nightmare to play against! The Aquino brothers are fast and RELENTLESS. Marin Catholic jumped out to a quick 15-6 lead, but the tide turned quickly as the intensity picked up. Lincoln sped the game up, stole MC's lunch pail AND lunch money and raced to a frantic 75-49 win. Excellent careers for Marin Catholic's Kyle Winters (college-level guard), Noah Deitch (D3 commit), Charlie Allen(Arizona State football commit) and others. Lincoln will be a tough matchup for anybody. It won't be pleasant for Pleasant Valley guards.
Branson played without one of their leading scorers - Jase Butler, out with an ankle injury, but knocked down shots and controlled the tempo of their game versus St. Francis from the tip. Freshman phenom Semetri (Te Te) Carr lit up the Lancers early with 5 three-pointers in the first half (21 total points in the half); his poise is amazing for a young player. St. Francis looked like they may have looked past the Bulls. The Lancers and Montana-commit Kerr didn't take it personally until it was too late. The MCAL-tested young Bulls have persevered and grown into a very solid team. Senior guard Joaquim Arauz-Moore is an undervalued star and stat sheet filler. He has such great leadership...controlling tempo and pace. Next up = a rematch with SPSV at 6 PM at Dominican University. I take Branson by 5 if Butler is available.
