While pandemonium and celebrations were occurring all around them, third-year Tamalpais-Mill Valley boys basketball coach Tim Morgan and his team gathered near the free-throw line Saturday at St. Mary’s College.
The Red-tailed Hawks (21-11) were a third-place team coming out of the Marin County Athletic League, seeded sixth in the tournament and, in most people’s estimation, lunch meat for the Mariners, who featured two of state’s top guards, Damari Milstead and Kyree Walker.
Milstead (32 points, nine rebounds) and Walker (18 points, 12 rebounds) were spot on, but so was Tam, particularly sharp-shooting juniors Jack Duboff and Josh Love, who scored 21 points apiece, and 6-foot-1 senior Jordan Jackson (16 points).
An unexpected 63-56 Sac-Joaquin Section semifinal loss to Beyer-Modesto cost the Titans dearly.
Other NorCal notes heading into first-round play:
Three boys games will be played at Kezar Pavilion, as D3 No. 4-seed Mission (30-1) plays San Marin-Novato (20-11) at 5:30 p.m. followed by a pair of D4 games, No. 8 University (26-4) against No. 9 Menlo School-Atherton (19-7) and fifth-seeded Stuart Hall (22-8) against No. 12 Half Moon Bay (21-8).
