San Diego State went into Wednesday night’s matchup with Wyoming looking to avenge a stunning early-season loss on the road at the Cowboys’ Arena-Auditorium.

They got what they were looking for in the form of an 88-57 beat-down behind a monster game from Kawhi Leonard.

The freshman standout scored a career-high 26 points to go with 8 rebounds as the Aztecs (17-7, 6-4 MWC) recovered from a slow start to control the game.  Leonard described his mindset coming into the game, and how his teammates helped him achieve his career high.

 

Wyoming (9-15, 2-8 MWC) opened the game playing active defense and pushing the ball off of early Aztec turnovers. Hot Cowboys shooting and pressure on the ball set the early tone. SDSU trailed 25-19 before its athletic prowess took over.

But the Aztecs tied the game at 27 on a fast break that started with a Billy White (10 points, 3 rebounds) block and ended with a White dunk. They never looked back, taking an eight-point lead to the half.  Aztecs Head Coach Steve Fisher talked about this being one of the more complete games his team has played so far this season.

by J.T. Rogan on December 5, 2009

CARMEL VALLEY–Cathedral Catholic and St. Augustine met for the second time this season, with a berth to the Division III San Diego CIF Championship on the line. The first meeting between the two teams this year produced a 17-14 Cathedral Catholic victory thanks to two missed short field goals by St. Augustine.

This time, it was never close. The Cathedral Catholic Dons displayed for 48 minutes that they were the superior team, routing the rival Saints 42-3 at Manchester Stadium on Friday night.  The Dons advance to Qualcomm Stadium for the third straight season, where they will battle Point Loma for the D-III Championship at 1pm on Friday.

Cathedral Catholic (11-1)  jumped out to a 14-0 lead before their offense stepped foot onto the field. Interceptions returned for touchdowns by Eric Sapp and Brien Moynihan on St. Augustine’s first two offensive possessions gave Cathedral Catholic a lead that they would not relinquish.

Moynihan was humble when asked about his contribution to the team effort afterward:
