<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO — JSerra played host to San Marcos of the San Diego Section in CIF Southern Section Division 1 second round state playoff game Tuesday night. The Lions cruised to an 80-56 victory to advance to the quarterfinals. Below is a breakdown of the top performances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">BJ Davis-Ray | 2025 | JSerra</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis-Ray impacted every aspect of the game en route to 26 points, seven rebounds and five assists. The 6-foot-6 wing was efficient offensively as he shot 10-for-16 from the field and 5-for-7 from three-point range. His ability to knock down perimeter jumpers opened up driving lanes which allowed him to use his ball skills and athleticism to attack the basket and finish at the rim. Davis-Ray also flashed his defensive versatility by defending guards on the perimeter and providing a rim protecting presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956471' first='Brannon' last='Martinsen'] | 2026 | JSerra</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martinsen is often the go-to guy for JSerra, but with two of his teammates having hot hands, the 6-foot-6 wing shifted into a supporting role and starred in it. The junior scored 16 points to go along with five assists and three steals as he showed his versatility and high basketball IQ. Martinsen is one of the most effective do-it-all, two-way prospects in California's junior class and the lefty knocked down open three's off the catch, mid-range off the bounce and made simple but effective passes to create open looks for his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2323693' first='Dominic' last='Bolton'] | 2025 | JSerra</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bolton is one of those players who has to be run off the three-point line or he will hurt you and San Marcos found that out the hard way. The 6-foot-3 senior scored 24 points on 8-for-11 from three-point range, turning in a Klay Thompson-esque performance as he didn't use more than three dribbles on his scoring opportunities. Bolton's quick release and repeatable shooting mechanics lend to him needing little time or space to get his shot off and consistency when he has his feet set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2436287' first='Richie' last='Ramirez'] | 2027 | San Marcos</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a tough night for the San Marcos offense but Ramirez was able to show why he is considered one of the top guards Southern California's 2027 class. The 6-foot-2 combo guard scored a team-high 26 points, and assisted on four other baskets, which led to him being responsible for half of the Knights' points in this game. Ramirez is a crafty driver, creator and finisher who can knock down mid-range jumpers off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
