Short winter recap

The new semester has started at Mt. SAC and while the Mountaineer may have taken the winter off, Mt. SAC sports has been active.

Believe it or not, the basketball season is already over. The Mounties played a whole season already and both the men and women are getting set to make a run at the playoffs.

Rocking the Iverson braids, Antonio Biglow has been leading the men's team (24-4, 8-0 in division play,) scoring like a madman and getting everyone involved. The man has been ballin' and has been a true product of Coach Caveness' system as he always relayed messages of team play and defense at the end of every game.

The women's team had a lot of pressure as Coach Beeman has led them to state title after state title and while they haven't had a dominating season like seasons past, Cecy Cuevas and the Mounties have had a more than stellar season going 22-6 (7-1 within the division) as the first round of the playoffs start this Wednesday.

The baseball and softball seasons have gotten underway, and thanks to some rain delays, there's still plenty of home action to catch for both teams, starting this Wednesday at 6 p.m. as the men make up a rain out game against L.A. Valley. Softball will come back home on Thursday at 3 p.m. against East L.A.

The men's baseball team has started 2-4, but it's still early and it's still baseball so I can't wait to see what Coach Parker's team has to show this year after their crazy playoff run last year as 14th seed.

With both basketball teams in the playoffs, this will be the first time in my time with the Mountaineer that the men will be joining the women. I expect both to go deep as they have been playing strong on both sides all season and have shown they can beat tough teams in close games.
