Saint Mary’s Classics
2019 Mens Basketball
Saint Mary’s vs. Arcadia
Head Coach Damin Lopez, “In the Fall there were some rumblings during the football game vs. Arcadia which we felt they crossed the line and were disrespectful. Our boys fought their tails off but we came up short in a very close battle. That loss was a little bitter considering the circumstances. That was quickly erased when volleyball beat them in playoffs a few weeks later and ended their season, so the rubber match was Boys Basketball. The Bleacher Creatures were in full force, the parent support was amazing and the faculty/staff cheering section was on point. It ended up being a fantastic night for the SM family.”

2019 Men’s Basketball
Saint Mary’s vs. Shadow Mountain
The Knights Boys Basketball team enjoyed a banner year but one of the more satisfying victories occurred at home this pas season against 4-time defending State Champion Shadow Mountain. “I have never beaten Shadow and although they may not have had some of the talent they’ve had in the past, these games were hurdles for us to overcome mentally,” said Senior Deven Dahlke, “it sure felt good to beat them.” The Knights swept the season series from Shadow including a resounding 34-point at Shadow Mountain.
