The Holiday Classic: Cienega Recap
This week was the The Holiday Classic, hosted by Torrey Pines High School. There were many teams that entered the tournament, with a ton of talented young players. I decided to take the trip out to San Diego and cover 4 of the AZ teams that entered the tournament. Those teams include: Shadow Mountain. Cienega, Mountain Pointe, and Salpointe. Here is the recap for Cienega:
Day 1: Cienega played a very tough Rocklin team and lost 89-62
Day 2: Cienega losses 71-38 to Gahr HS
Day 3: Cienega played fellow AZ team, South Mountain HS and lost 56-47.
Day 4: Cienega loses 51-50 to Gig Harbor
While Cienega lost all four of their games in the Governors Division, I have faith in them going forward. The last three games, they were without their best player, JT Elder. Cienega is a very well coached team and should rebound strong from this tournament once we get back into power point play.
