The San Marcos girls basketball team dropped a non-league match to Cabrillo on Thursday afternoon, 54-25, as part of the Gold Coast Classic.

Milan McGary scored 10 points, but the Royals were unable to get much going offensively against a bigger Cabrillo team.

“This game will help us in the long run,” said San Marcos assistant coach Aaron Solis. 

With the loss, the Royals fell to 3-4 on the season, and next take on Santa Ynez on Friday as Gold Coast Classic play continues.
