Experience carries San Marcos past Stony Point in home opener, 85-72

San Marcos first-year head coach Dan Miller told his leaders to get everyone together mentally.

High level intensity basketball took place in San Marcos’ 85-72 Snake Pit debut win over Round Rock Stony Point (2-2) Monday afternoon. Officials were critiqued out loud by fans, players were hit with technical fouls and both teams' fast-paced play style put them in the bonus with 4:07 left in the game. 

There was one particular moment that stood out as the final minute closed — after Stony Point was penalized with a technical foul and emotions of the game began to show from both teams, Miller looked to junior forward Malik Presley to keep the team pushing down the stretch.
