San Marcos and No. 6 Austin Westlake put on a show Tuesday night when two of the top players in the state in Rattlers sophomore forward Malik Presley and Chaparrals No. 45-ranked prospect and Kansas commit K.J. Adams squared off.
The stars came to play, scoring 54 points combined in a fast-paced game inside the Snake Pit. After a close one through three quarters, Adams and Westlake pulled away 72-60 after a run in the fourth ending San Marcos’ hopes to upset the two-time district champs.
Adams opened the game up with two monster slams, announcing his presence in the gym without words just by shaking the rim. Presley retaliated by scoring on smooth mid-range pull-ups, like his first bucket of the game, getting Adams to fly past him then knocking it down from 15 feet out. The two scored 17 points together in the first quarter, leaving Westlake ahead, 20-16.
