NEW BRAUNFELS - Bi-District Round of the UIL 6A Playoff Basketball Playoffs began Tuesday for the 8th ranked San Marcos Rattlers as they found a way to win a nail biter over the San Antonio Clark Cougars 50-48 at Canyon High School in New Braunfels.
Behind a strong second half effort and the senior leadership of Kaden Gumbs’ 20-points and senior Malik Presley added 13-points as they erased a 21-16 halftime deficit as they outscored the Cougars 34-27 in the final two quarters.
“Credit to San Antonio Clark, they played a great game and that 2-3 zone,” Rattler head coach Dan Miller said. “We just had the turnover bug early. I think our adrenaline backfired on us a little bit. We missed a lot of lay-ups we normally finish, we fumbled the ball quite a bit, but once we came out of the locker room in the second half; I think the Rattlers came out of the locker room for the second half.”
