SAN ANTONIO - Survive and advance is the name of the game in March and the San Marcos Rattlers (38-3) with their brotherhood mentality and a hard, gritty effort knocked off the San Antonio Warren Warriors 53-50 on Friday night.
The No. 8 ranked Rattlers, led by senior point guard Kaden Gumbs, scored a game-high 20 points, while senior Malik Presley had 14-points. It was their aggressive, stingy defense that had propelled San Marcos into Saturday’s Regional Final game at Northside Gym in San Antonio.
“It definitely feels great to have the community behind us; it was an hour drive over here and we had 2,000-plus people make that drive,” Gumbs said, noting the San Marcos community support. “It is very amazing. I feel like the community loves us and we love them. They came out for a show and we gave it to them.”
