Los Altos High’s Joey Malgesini shoots over Santa Clara’s Cole Lockwood in Saturday’s CCS Division II quarterfinal game.
Despite being just two and a half miles apart, Los Altos and St. Francis highs rarely meet in boys basketball. Lancers coach Mike Motil said Saturday that he couldn’t recall facing the Eagles in his six years at the helm.
That was scheduled to change Tuesday (after the Town Crier’s press deadline) in the Central Coast Section Division II semifinals at Santa Clara High.

The Spartans (10-3-6 overall) and Lancers (14-6-1) were both upset in Saturday’s quarterfinals by teams seeded eighth in their divisions. Mountain View lost 1-0 to Santa Teresa (11-6-5), while St. Francis fell by the same score – in overtime – to St. Ignatius (13-5-5).
