The San Marcos boys’ basketball team competed at the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) Showcase over the weekend in Duncanville, playing against some of the top teams in the state.
The Rattlers were a bit shorthanded, with a few of their multi-sport athletes preparing for the upcoming football season. But even while fielding a roster of eight players, the team took a 66-65 win over Houston Legacy on Friday, with senior guard Jayven Cofer sinking a game-winning shot just before the final buzzer.
Head coach Dan Miller was impressed by the win, believing Houston Legacy had four NCAA Division I prospects on the roster. He was also impressed by Cofer, who transferred to San Marcos entering his junior year in 2021, but wasn’t eligible to play on the varsity team last season due to UIL rules and instead spent the year with the junior varsity team. The TABC Showcase allowed the purple and white coaches, as well as Cofer himself, to see how he’ll fit in with the varsity squad this year.
