I watched a program concerning that on TV last night. Thanks for covering it in greater depth
La Canada defeated Santa Clara 65-59... Santa Clara coach Michael Sandoval got away with walking out of the coach's box so much, you'd swear he was Charlie Weis.
While I usually post about football, I did notice that Santa Clara is coming to the area to play La Canada in boys BB Friday. I looked at the Santa Clara roster to see if Ciere Wood, the running back that ended La Salle's football season, was on the team. He is, and when I looked at his stats, I was astounded by the shooting percentages by the whole Santa Clara team. Wood is shooting 62%, 10 points a game, the leading scorer Wilder is shooting 83% ! And Warren is listed shooting 41 for 41, 100% !!!
It reminds me of the batting averages of high school kids using aluminum bats.
Good luck to the Spartans on Friday.
