Defense continues to be the main ingredient when the purple and white cook up wins.
San Marcos (7-2) concluded the Champions Classic going 3-2 after winning each of its last three games by double digits. The team outscored opponents 60-26 in third quarters on Friday and Saturday and four out of five of the hosts’ opponents were held under 50 points over the weekend, including a 61-49 win over South San Antonio (7-4) in the lone game on Saturday.
“I liked our defense (Saturday). I thought we were active and kept the pressure on,” head coach Veronda Kendall said. “My concern was our offensive execution and that’s an area where we have to get better. We can’t have empty possessions. We can’t go down and turn it over. We have to be efficient offensively and that’s an area of concern for me right now.”
