Boys Varsity Basketball vs Westmark

February 17, 2017

Cate’s boys varsity basketball team picked up the program’s first CIF playoff victory since 2008 on Wednesday, February 15, as the Rams hit the road and took down Westmark, 74-33.

Marko Pliso ’18 led the way for the Rams, pouring in 22 points. Andy McHarg ’18 chipped in eleven. Pierce Lundt ’17 and Chase McCaw played locked-down defense all game, shutting down Westmark’s top scorer. Bryce Huerta ’17 added nine points and Thomas Nettesheim ’20 scored eight points on the evening.

“We came out firing. We were able to stop Westmark’s crafty point guard and hold him to seven points, well below his season average. Forty-three of our points came in transition which is what we talked about doing all week,” said Cate Head Coach Andy Gil.

“This is first full 32-minute game we have had all season and it couldn’t come at a better time. All eleven guys tonight were able to get on the court and our energy level was incredible from start to finish,” exclaimed Gil.

The Rams continue their season on Friday, February 17 at home against Mesa Grande. Tip-off is still to be determined.
