The Freshmen Cougar team started the tournament games off with a win against a strong St. Mary's of Berkeley JV team (38-35). The JV team kept the ball rolling with a win against Vanden High School (76-48). On the final day of play the JV team won the tournament in an exciting game against St. Mary's of Stockton (69-62).
