Varsity Boys Basketball Defeats Frontier (Bakersfield) in San Rafael Classic Semi-final

Cheered on by the girls varsity team, who were fresh of their own victory in the Marin Catholic tournament, the Dons cruised into the championship game of the tournament with a 57-36 victory over the Titans. Juniors Scott Ruegg and Graham Smith scored 19 points and 13 points, respectively, and for the second straight night the Dons displayed a tremendous defensive effort. Coach Henik’s ¾ court trapping press, combined with the Dons man-to-man and 2-3 zone defenses, gave the Titans trouble all night.

The boys took command in the first half , 32-21, with Ruegg and Smith combining for 20 points, including 4 three-pointers.  Seniors Aidan Bodner and John Kalil led the effort in the second half. Bodner scored 5 of his 9 points in the fourth quarter and Kalil added 8 rebounds to go with his 6 points to finish off the overmatched Frontier team. The Dons will face San Rafael High in the championship game Saturday night.
