After hosting a highly competitive girls’ basketball tournament, San Marino High looked to carry those experiences and lessons on to the final stretch of the Titans’ nonleague schedule.
Against Royal High and Big Bear High, the Titans defense proved too much and was the catalyst of extending the San Marino win streak to four games.
SAN MARINO 60, BIG BEAR 24
Titans juniors Kailey Woo and Chloe Linden each scored 14 points and senior Malia Yu added 11 points to lift the Titans to a 60-24 win over Big Bear on Dec. 9.
Linden also sparked the Titans offense with six assists and came away with seven steals to lead the team’s defensive efforts. Woo and Yu were the main contributors in the Titans’ frontcourt, as the junior brought down eight rebounds and the senior hauled in 14.
SAN MARINO 50, ROYAL 33
Woo put together a 23-point performance in San Marino’s 50-33 victory over Royal High in Simi Valley on Dec. 6. The junior also tallied 12 rebounds and three steals in the home win. Linden added seven points for the Titans.
The Titans (7-2 overall as of Dec. 11) closed out their nonleague stretch of games with a road game against Ramona Convent on Dec. 12. San Marino, which is ranked No. 10 in the latest CIF Southern Section Division IV-AA polls, opened Rio Hondo League play on the road against unbeaten South Pasadena (8-0 as of Dec. 11) on Dec. 13, and will visit Monrovia on Dec. 15 for the second league game of the campaign.
