SBART Press Luncheon: Luke Zuffelato and Dayzia Mendoza Named Athletes Of the Week

The Santa Barbara High basketball duo Luke Zuffelato and Dayzia Mendoza were named the SBART male and female athletes of the week at Monday’s press luncheon.

The sophomore Zuffelato had 23 points, including five 3-pointers in a loss to powerhouse St.John Bosco, and scored 22 in a win over St. Bonaventure, extending his streak of scoring 20-points or more to six games. He followed up the Athlete of the Week award with a 40 point performance in victory over Buena on Monday night.

“Words as a coach and a dad, he is a kid that I don’t know anybody that works harder,” said Santa Barbara boys’ basketball assistant coach Greg Zuffelato of his son Luke. “He puts a lot of time in. He probably shot 2,000 shots yesterday on a Sunday.”
