What a great game between Sierra of Manteca and very talented Vallejo team. Vallejo definitely had a better team athletically , but Sierra came back with fire. Sierra has two very talented guards with a well coached team. It was a back and forth game,. This what playoffs is all about.
What was really disappointing and ugly was to see poor sportsmanship after the game by the Vallejo team. .The Vallejo players threatened Sierras student cheering section and threatening the to get them in the parking lot. Well that's what ended up happening. As the Vallejo players exited the gym, it was a rampage. The Vallejo team tracked down Sierra students and started fighting and starting pushing students to provoke them fight, cursing at Sierra faculty and punching cars and not letting fans leave the parking lot by blocking cars and making a scene. It was scary for parents and they ran back into gym to be secure. I seen a Vallejo player/fan literally light up a pipe full of marijuana , and blow the smoke at the Sierra faculty face, stating you cant touch me. The faculty was roaming the entire parking lot trying to stop several altercation almost taking place at the same time. It was horrible. The worst was when an assistant coach from Vallejo shouted it a racial thing okay. The Vallejo coach was trying to round up his players but had no control of them, and he was trying to get them into the van. At one point a player was reaching into his bag like he had a weapon and said, he will end it now. The cops were called and 4 to 5 patrol cars came out sirens blaring to get the chaos under control.
This was ugly and this does not belong in any sport , let alone High school. The Vallejo team was out of hand and in the wrong for the poor sportsmanship and attitude towards , students, fans, parents and even very disrespectful towards the faculty. They played a great game, buts it very sad to see talented players and coach end there playoff run on a note like this.
The Sierra faculty handled the situation pretty calmly, but there was so much going on at once, and am sure that they didn't expect something like this to happen. I even seen some players Dads out there trying to diffuse the chaos.
