San Marcos Stifles Santa Ynez to Claim Channel League Victory
The Royals Flash Dominant Defense in Third Consecutive Win

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.”
