Junior Jaden Robinson led San Marcos with 14 points — eight of those in the fourth quarter — in a 60-43 victory over Dos Pueblos in Channel League boys basketball action on Tuesday.
“Great bench effort from ‘TJ’ (Robinson) and Conner Acuna,” said San Marcos coach Jelani Hicks. “Our players coming off the bench are really starting to step up and figure it out. TJ has been great and is getting better game by game. His versatility and size is a great asset to the team. Looking forward to seeing him continue to develop.”
Max Sheldon added 11 points for the Royals (4-0 in league, 4-4 overall)
Grant Hughes led Dos Pueblos (1-2, 1-3) with 14 points.
“San Marcos made a lot of open looks and was able to control the boards on both ends,” Dos Pueblos coach Joe Zamora said. “San Marcos was ready to play and it was good to see our team compete the entire game.”
Hicks was pleased how his team kept its intensity after tough games against Santa Barbara High and St. Joseph.
“Great effort from our guys coming off of big games back to back,” he said.
