Weekend of Playoffs, Rain Rain Go Away
This weekend will be the biggest weekend playoff in St. Mary's history. I exaggerate a little bit...But Friday, Saturday and Sunday, each of our three oldest teams will be playing for the right to move on to the championships.
Make an effort to be at ALL games, and wear RED! If you have a St. Mary's t-shirt, wear that one. If you have a shooting shirt, wear it. If you want to come in your red school sweater, wear it! We want a red sea. We want to pack each gym so it's standing room only and nobody can sit, except us.
The schedule is below, so make plans to come out. The newsletter this week along with the blog will have some interesting nuggets and previews of the upcoming playoff games.
RAIN
If it rains tomorrow (Wednesday), there will be no girls practices on Thursday. Instead, all the boys teams will practice.

3 Stars of the Weekend -- Playoff Schedules
Now the Playstation 3 Stars of the Weekend
3rd Star *** - Justin
Justin hit some clutch shots and took care of the ball pretty well in the 4th grades two victories over the weekend. He has played very good basketball towards the end of this season and is a big reason the 4th graders finished with a .500 record.
2nd Star ** - Brandon T.
Brandon is one of the most improved players this year, as he has been a solid and constant contributor to the 4th graders. He is one of the best outside shooters among the young stars we have at St. Mary's.
1st Star * - Jeremy
Jeremy led a second-half come back for the 6th grade on Friday night and played a solid first-half the next day in his team's back-to-back victories to end the season. Jeremy might be arguably the best free-throw shooter in the school as he went 6-6 from the line on Saturday.
Playoff Schedule
Playoff schedules should be out tomorrow some time and I will have the updates as soon as I get them on the blog. The playoff rounds will start this Friday, and can be played on any day this weekend.

Today is Saturday
It was a very weird Saturday to say the least. Despite coming out of it with two wins and three losses, it feels like our teams today collectively didn't play at our best and were not prepared.
3rd Grade
3rd grade finished their season with a 14-4 loss. They are simply outmatched right now, as many 3rd grade teams are, as the divisions are a toss-up at the 3rd grade level. They are getting shots, but the little things like grabbing onto a ball, making lay-ups are missing. With more experience, they should be fine.
8th Grade
The 8th grade (5-3) are slumping at the wrong time, as they have lost two straight, backpedaling into the playoffs. They were in the second spot, just a few days ago, and now they have slipped into the fourth and final spot. They lost 31-28 today. The effort was there from most of the players on the team, but when you don't have everybody on the same page, you can't expect to win games. You're only as good as your weakest player.
7th Grade
7th grade picked up a very sloppy win today 44-39 in their final game of the season. They finish the season (7-1) and win their division. They are the number one seed going into the playoffs.
The game itself was all over the place, and it took more than an hour to finish. And from what I saw, although parents, coaches and players will more than likely disagree, the referees were not that bad. There were a lot of fouls called today, some that should've and shouldn't have been called, but the 7th grade put themselves in a lot of positions where fouls were called.
They were reaching for the ball, not moving their feet, 50 feet away from the basket. Any time you do that, you're asking for a foul to be called. Move your feet, have your hands straight up, you won't get called for a foul.
The refs missed their share of traveling calls on both teams. Were the refs terrible? No. Were they great? No. And we'll leave it at that.
6th Grade
The 6th grade lead 11-0 at halftime and probably thought the game was over. They were outscored 13-7 in the second half, but still hung on to win, and improve to (6-2) on the season. They are playoff bound and are the number three seed in their division.
5th/6th Grade
The 5th/6th grade team beat the team they played before today, and they more than likely overlooked the opposition, as they lost 22-19 in their final game of the season. Despite their drastic improvement, today's mistakes showed why they are (2-6) and not (4-4). Too many turnovers, the same ones, over and over, lost the game for them. They had a lot of layups that shouldn't have been missed, and in a three point game, those baskets will hurt.
Even though they lost their last four games, this team should be ready to hit the next level. They are better than what they showed today, and they will be the first ones to admit it. Much to look forward to next season.
Practices for tomorrow are listed in previous posts...Have a fantastic Saturday evening.

4th grade closes out year with 3 wins in a row, 6th grade clinches playoff spot
It was a nerve-racking night at CYO Serramonte as our 4th and 6th graders took the court.
The 4th graders started the night off with another one point victory, 14-13. At one point, they were up 14-9, but the opposition came back with four unanswered points. And like yesterday, they hung on to win the game by one.
They finish the year on a tear, winning their last three games. Unfortunately, the magic number to make the playoffs in this division was 5, and the 4th graders fell short by a game. Nonetheless, it was a great way to finish the season after a mediocre start. After going (3-5) last season, they wrap up the year (4-4).
6th grade clinches playoff spot
The first half looked like a Mission Dolores game all over again, as the 6th grade was trailing 10-2 at the half.
Perhaps this team plays better under pressure and some urgency, as they held the other team to only two points in the entire second-half. And with good defense comes good offense. The 6th grade turned an 8 point half-time deficit into a 6 point victory, 18-12.
With the win, they have officially clinched a playoff spot and have one more game to go tomorrow to ensure the third seed.
Tomorrow's games and addresses are listed in the previous post.
