Early season growing pains have paid immediate dividends for the San Marcos High boys basketball team.

The Royals started the season 1-5 after taking their lumps at the Simi Valley tournament, but with a 52-37 victory over visiting Santa Ynez on Thursday night, San Marcos has now won three straight games and improved to 2-0 in Channel League play.

“Beau (Allen) and Andrew (Frohling) of the guys that were available today they are the only ones that have varsity experience,” said San Marcos first-year head coach Jelani Hicks. “We have a relatively young team and games are the best experience. It’s the only way to learn on the job a little bit.”
