Jonathan was in MVP form, scoring 14 of his 20 first half points in the 1st quarter alone, as the 6th grade boys improved to (3-0) on the season with a resounding 43-27 win.
He tied a modern day St. Mary's record set by his sister Marissa in 2011, hitting three 3 pointers, all in the first half, scoring a season high 25 points.
It was a case of feeding the hot hand early, and it didn't look like Jonathan was going to miss.
Even from the free throw line, he shot 6-for-7, as the game was pretty much over after 6 minutes, with the boys leading 22-5.
Michael had a nice bounce back game after scoring only 2 points in the team's first two games, as he had 8 points, 6 coming in the 1st quarter, including a buzzer beat three.
The other team was quite physical and were frustrated because they were being outplayed, as there were some hard fouls late in the game.
But the boys, showing signs of growth, played through it, and kept their composure.
If there was one flaw of the game Saturday, it would be their rebounding as they were a step slow on the glass.
Reflected in the lack of boxing out was Jason Lei's point total, which was a modest 6 points for his standards, after he started the year on fire.
However, this is a team that has different players step up at different times, and that's what a good team has. They pick up the slack when one player is having an off day and the end result is still shaking hands after a victory.
Jason H. added 4 points, the most he has had this season.
