    First up are the girls: MA is the last undefeated PAL team at 8-0, vs Carlmont, currently tied for 2nd at 7-1!

  6. Commentary

    MA has a 31-7 record in those games! And the Bears have won 18 of the last 19!
    Posted @ 4:35p

  7. Commentary

    That said, Carlmont has won 6 straight, and 8 of their last 9, and they would love to put a dent in that successful streak by the Bears
    Posted @ 4:48p

  8. Commentary

    And speaking of streaks, MA has now won 16 in a row!
    Posted @ 4:49p

  9. Commentary

    16 in a row ties for their 3rd-longest in nearly 20 years (26 straight & 22), and approaches the boys’ longest of 18 & 17 in that same span
    Posted @ 5:05p

  10. Commentary

    MA is ranked in the top 16% in the Bay Area, top 12% in the entire state of California, and is 8th of the 86 CCS teams, and #4 public!
    Posted @ 5:07p

  11. Commentary

    In the PAL, MA is 8-0, Carlmont is tied w Hillsdale at 7-2, then Mills is 5-3 (MA beat them), and Aragon 4-4 (MA also beat them)
    Posted @ 5:09p

  12. Commentary

    The next week will be a test for the Bears, playing Carlmont tonight & next week hosting Hillsdale, who boasts a 17-3 record to MA’s 18-2!
    Posted @ 5:10p

  13. Commentary

    Also tonight is huge because following the girls, the Bears boys team, also the only undefeated 8-0 in league, takes on Carlmont who is 6-2
    Posted @ 5:12p

  14. Commentary

    And if my math is right, if the Bears boys team wins, it would be Coach Molieri’s 200th career win with MA!
    Posted @ 5:13p

  15. Commentary

    But first: the girls! Last time the Bears & Scots met, MA led the whole way, won 55-48 @ home, Adams w 15 (3 3’s!), Steinmetz 14, Sheldon 10
    Posted @ 5:16p

  16. Commentary

    Also a 2 facts I dug up: their 5 points allowed vs Sequoia were their fewest allowed against any team in the last 10 years!
    Posted @ 5:17p

  17. Commentary

    And their 5 fewest points allowed this year - 17, 17, 15, 15, and 5 - are 5 of the 7 lowest in the last 10 years combined!
    Posted @ 5:18p

  18. Commentary

    The Bears stifling defense this year (28ppg) ranks #1 in the PAL…and Carlmont’s offense (51ppg) is #2
    Posted @ 5:20p

  19. Commentary

    Also MA is 6-0 on the road, Carlmont 5-0 at home. Have enough reasons to join us tonight? Tip-off around 6:15, see you then! Go Bears!!!
