Don’t be deceived by 11-14 record of Sacred Heart Cathedral boys
The game plan Friday against top-seeded Mitty wasn’t complicated, said Sacred Heart Cathedral boys basketball coach Sean MacKay.
Control the glass. Get out in transition. Run their three-point shooters off the arc. Exploit mismatches.
But when you’ve won just 10 of 24 games, finished seventh in the eight-team West Catholic Athletic League and have won only three times since Dec. 29 — twice over last-place Valley Christian — clearly MacKay dealt a louder message before and during his team’s eye-opening 69-65 Central Coast Section Open Division first-round upset win at Piedmont Hills-San Jose.
Not really, he said. More so, it was a belief he instilled throughout all the losing.
