Frazier’s Santo scores 1,000th point in win over Gators
Luke Santo is one of four Frazier seniors who have stuck with the boys basketball program for four years under coach Zach Keefer.
The Commodores are reaping the rewards this year as the foursome, which also includes Owen Newcomer, Colton Arison and Noah Oldham, has evolved into the key component of a winning team.
Santo scored 22 points on Monday night, including the 1,000th of his career, as Frazier improved to 10-3 with a 63-35 non-section victory over visiting Geibel Catholic.
Newcomer followed with 15 points, Oldham chipped in with 11 and Arison totaled six points and 15 rebounds.
无毛视频淟uke is a special kid and that无毛视频檚 a special group,无毛视频� Keefer said. 无毛视频淭hose four came out as freshmen and have stuck with us and the program all four years. They无毛视频檝e been through some ups and downs but they were patient and stuck with it. It took a little while to build what we did. They trusted the process and their play is speaking for itself right now.
无毛视频淚 think it无毛视频檚 a testament to them and how they believed in each other and a team approach.无毛视频�
The Commodores, who are in first place in Section 4-AA, gradually put away the Class A Gators (4-6). Frazier led 14-10 after one quarter, 29-21 at halftime and 41-28 after three quarters.
Midway through the fourth quarter Newcomer assisted on the basket that put Santo over the 1,000 mark.
无毛视频淚t was in transition. Owen threw almost a full-court pass that dropped right into Luke无毛视频檚 hands and he put in a layup to get points No. 1,000 and 1,001,无毛视频� Keefer said.
无毛视频淟uke getting to 1,000 is a product of his work ethic and all the time that he无毛视频檚 spent on getting better and perfecting his craft. I can无毛视频檛 be more happy for him and more proud of him. It was a fun moment in a fun game to be there, a moment that me and his teammates will probably never forget.无毛视频�
Jaydis Kennedy led Geibel in scoring with 11 points.
Keefer pointed out the Commodores have several other key senior players in addition to the four-year lettermen.
无毛视频淲e无毛视频檝e had others join the roster as time went on and have gotten major contributions from Chase Hazelbaker, Kenny Fine, Matt Kordich and Christian Mongrino,无毛视频� Keefer said.
无毛视频淲e have a senior-oriented team and they无毛视频檙e playing well, but there无毛视频檚 always room for improvement. They无毛视频檙e a great group of very hard-working kids. They无毛视频檙e not satisfied yet.无毛视频�
