Boys basketball (8-4) lost 47-34 to Los Gatos High School (9-3) during senior night on Tuesday, Feb. 13.
Going into the game, Coach Jeff LaMere said the team knew that Los Gatos was a formidable opponent.
“Hats off to Los Gatos,” LaMere said. “They played a great game and they’re worthy of a league championship.”
Despite the loss, LaMere said he was proud of the team’s effort and believed it would pay off in the future.
“(The team) fought every possession of the game,” LaMere said. “In the first half, we couldn’t couldn’t execute and we couldn’t get shots to fall. But the kids played hard. And that’s what we want and that travels into the playoffs.”
Following the last league game of the season, LaMere said although he is sad to see the seniors graduate soon, he will treasure the memories they’ve had and looks forward to continuing to make more memories in the CCS playoffs.
“(The seniors) all had a tremendous four years here. They’ve been very, very successful, both on and off the court,” LaMere said. “They’re a joy to be around and a joy to coach. It makes me sad to not be able to spend more time with them but we want to make this playoff run last as long as we can.”
