Women’s Basketball: Norcal Division III Girls: St. Mary's 85,
Valley Christian 59
The Rams started
very slowly, with the score after 3 minutes of play being 2-1.
However, the remarkable play of the Ram stalwarts and reserves began
a steady and unstoppable offense. The response of the Warriors of
Valley Christian was to play anything but, as they committed an
overwhelming number of fouls, including some strikes and knockdowns
of the St. Mary's players. The Rams kept their cool, routing their
opponents 85-59 with stellar play. Afure Jemerigbe, who didn't score
her first point until midway through the second quarter, led the
Rams (32-1) with 19 points, five rebounds and six steals. Chelsea
Gray, who also struggled to knock down shots in the first half, had
16 points, six rebounds, five assists and five steals. Ali Gibson
had 12 and Kendall Kenyon had 11.
According to the
Record article, the Rams came back to life with “…the clock winding
down, Jemerigbe grabbed a steal near midcourt. In transition, she
passed to Gray under the basket, then followed the pass. Gray sent a
one-touch pass right back to Jemerigbe, who scored less than a
second before the buzzer. "I thought she was going to go up with
it," Jemerigbe said. "She got it right back to me. That was crazy. I
think that's when you could feel the momentum turn."

The Athletic Department provides a well-balanced athletic program for all
students, and students are encouraged to participate in all sports.
Students in the athletic program must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA and meet
all required criteria to be eligible. Students must secure parent
permission and pass a physical examination to be eligible for participation.
Physical exams are offered by the school once, prior to each sports season,
in the months of August, October, and January.
Student athletes must abide by the Athletic Code as set forth by the school.
Signatures of both parent and student are required as acceptance of the
Code. Code books shall be provided by team coaches prior to each league
season.
Interscholastic athletic competition should
demonstrate high standards of ethics and sportsmanship and promote the
development of good character and other important life skills. The highest potential of sports
is achieved when participants are committed to pursuing victory with honor
according to six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility,
fairness, caring, and good citizenship. This Code applies to all
student-athletes involved in interscholastic sports in California.
C.I.F. Pursuing Victory with Honor Athletes' Code of
Conduct
Saint Mary’s High School athletes are expected to:
Do what is right even when it is unpopular.
Fulfill commitments to the team and school.
Be loyal to your school and team by putting the
team above personal glory.
Treat all people inside and outside of school
with respect.
Be gracious in victory and accept defeat with
dignity.
Be respectful; do not engage in disrespectful
conduct of any sort including profanity, obscene
gestures, offensive remarks of a sexual nature,
trash talking, taunting, boastful celebrations,
or other actions that demean individuals or the
sport.
Treat game officials, opponents and coaches with
respect.
Be a student first, knowing that the primary
responsibility of a student-athlete is academic
achievement.
Remember that participation in sports is a
privilege, not a right.
Consistently exhibit good character and conduct
yourself as a positive role model on and off the
field.
Be a positive role model; do not use any illegal
or unhealthy substances, alcohol, tobacco,
drugs, or performance-enhancing drugs.
Exercise self-control. Do not fight or show
excessive displays of anger or frustration.
Honor, observe and enforce the spirit and the
letter of rules and regulations.
Maintain academic eligibility.
Be at school for a minimum of one-half day in
order to participate in any extra-curricular
activity.
Abide by and support the parent/student
handbook.
St. Mary’s Spectator Code of Conduct
Treat all participants with respect.
Discourage any dishonest or unsportsmanlike
conduct
Be gracious in victory and accept defeat with
dignity.
Not engage in disrespectful conduct including
profanity, obscene gestures, and offensive
remarks of a sexual nature, trash talking,
taunting, boastful celebrations or other actions
that demean individuals or the sport.
Treat game officials with respect.
Let the coaches coach.
Display respect for all other spectators.
Exercise self-control.
Listen to and obey the requests of the public
address announcer and all security personnel in
attendance.
Be at school at least one-half day in order to
attend any extra-curricular event.
A prerequisite of good sportsmanship requires one to understand their own
bias or prejudice and to have the ability to recognize that rational
behavior is more important than the desire to win. A proper perspective must
be maintained if the potential educational values of athletic competition
are to be realized. Good sportsmanship is concerned with the behavior of all
involved in the game.
Informed Consent/Assumption of Risk
Parents and students need to be aware of the
potential dangers of participation in
interscholastic athletics since there is a risk of
being injured in any sport. The risk of injury may
be severe, including varieties of fractures,
sprains, contusions, brain injuries, paralysis, or
even death. Risk of injury may be somewhat reduced
through parent insistence upon student-athletes
following carefully all of the guidelines given by
the coaching staff and school regarding training
rules, safety procedures, proper use of equipment,
legal and safe playing techniques, and any and all
other safety procedures.
Please see the Student Handbook for
further information, requirements and limitations.
