Turnovers kept playing peek-a-boo with the Rattlers.
Even though San Marcos (14-15, 2-7 district) has an abundance of underclassmen, assistant coach Jason Napoli doesn’t look at his players as freshmen anymore. The team has gone through the first round of district play and Napoli believes the younger players have had enough time to get acclimated to the speed and pace of the game.
But the speed and the pace of Converse Judson (21-9, 9-0) isn’t something you can get acclimated to because they play faster than most of the competition. San Marcos turned the ball over four times in the first quarter, forced by Judson’s full-court trap which seemed like it had the purple and white rattled. And against the No. 1 team in the district, transition points off of steals and some inaccurate passes ended up costing San Marcos a chance to pull off an upset at home, losing to Judson, 95-76.
