I'll be at the Crusader Forum on Phelan Ave - back in the old hood! The old joint should be rocking - I luv that gym. I hope the student band will be jamming as that ratchets up the atmosphere about 10X especially during pre-game and Star Spangled Banner.... Let's go Riordan! Just Win Baby!

Yes. Played well. I was impressed. I like that they didn't have any fear.

I was at the game. MC came out ready to play. They managed my Salesian Pride press/D well the first quarter. MC had a great game plan getting the ball to the corner for several early three point shots. However, as Salesian has done most of the season, they settled down and their D took over.

MC has heart and very good players coming back. #11 Sykes is the real deal. Great games against DLS and Salesian.

MC took out my son's Bellarmine Bells team in Open several years ago. They are a constant fixture in the upper echelon of Nor Cal hoops and yes, they have a nice core coming back. Salesian has several key players returning as well.

More great games to come in the near future between these two squads.
