Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Miramonte). They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 72-45 victory over the Concord Bears. Given the Matadors' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 393rd, while the Bears are ranked 1032nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

That's the most boards Bossutt-Ugarte has posted since back in November of 2024. Darrian Mola also deserves some recognition as he posted his first assist of the season.

When it comes to explaining why Concord lost, don't look at Leonidas Garcia. Despite the final result, he posted 13 points and seven rebounds.
