Over the holiday break your Pirates went 2-0 beating SA Memorial and SA Fox Tech.
Sophomore Jordan Balderaz had his coming out party vs SA Memorial to let South Texas Basketball know that he would be a force to be reckoned with over the next few years by scoring 34 points, grabbing 16 rebounds, and 3 steals while sitting the entire 4th quarter cheering his teammates on. The rest of the Pirates played a solid defensive game with a season high of 24 steals.

The following day the Pirates took on a ferocious Fox Tech team, the best team we've seen all year. The game was fast pace with each team pressing defensively most of the game, but the Pirates outscored and out lasted the Buffaloes. Jordan Balderaz had 20 points, but this game was led by the all-around effort of Senior Mark Cantu. Mark had 13 points, 4 steals, 6 assist and was all over the Buffaloes defensively. Junior Jacob Ulrich, coming to us from Gentofte, Denmark, played his first week of UIL High School basketball. The kid scored 16 points while adding 4 rebounds, 3 assist, and 2 steals for a great overall game. GO Pirates!!!!
