Super Tuesday was essentially a Super Wipeout for San Diego Section boys teams in the first round of the State Tournament’s Southern California regional. The girls did better.
The guys posted a record of 3 wins and 14 losses, the young ladies 7-8, and the overall 10-22 was in grim comparison to the 16-14 record in the 2018-19 first round.
BOYS
Seven visiting teams from the Southern Section with higher (poorer) seeds came South and took out San Diego Section clubs, some with stunning results.
Could the Russians have meddled with Max Preps‘ computer, which spat out the seeds and pairings?
Most jarring was the manner in which host No. 7 St. Augustine, leading 12-4, in the early going, withered in the heat of a rapid, free-wheeling Riverside Poly team, 83-46.
The same Poly Bears, in their distinctive orange and green uniforms, who lost to St. Augustine, 75-59, in December.
Guard D.J. Davis, a UC-Irvine-bound gunner who scored 30 points and drained half of his teams’ staggering, 16 beyond-the-arc baskets, missed most of the December game.
Husky San Diego State commit Lamont Butler added 22 points and was a force at both ends of the court as three Aztecs assistant coaches looked on.
DIVISION I
No. 4 seed Torrey Pines had one of the few enjoyable evenings for the males, defeating 13 West Hills Chaminade from the northern San Fernando Valley, 82-53.
