The Rams won the school's 23rd Sac-Joaquin section girls' basketball title against defending champion McClatchy on Saturday at Golden 1 Center. That is the most out of any school in the section, according to Alle Moreno, the team's head coach.
"It was amazing," Moreno said. "These girls work really hard every day in practice. They deserved it. They're a self-led team, and so they deserved everything that came to them on Saturday."
"I think our defense is really the catalyst of our success," Moreno said.
"Our girls play really hard on defense and that's not always the case in programs. So, our offens comes from our defense a lot of the time, and them just selling out to the idea of working hard, playing together, with the mixture of our great leadership from our seniors, it's a good combination."
"My mom, she kind of paved that way for me," Smith said. "She went through medical school. She graduated early, and she's been able to offer me a lot of support and just knowledge in terms of that medical field. So, having someone talk me through it and show me the way and show me that it's possible, really gives me motivation."
"Growing up, watching St. Mary's when I was little, not knowing if I was going to come here or not, but seeing how big and how…the title of St. Mary's is, it feels really good, me being here, me being with this awesome group of girls and team," she said.
"Jessica does a great job and I think she played at McClatchy, as well," Moreno said. "So, two alumns coaching their high schools, it's special and it was a cool moment for our section and for our state."
Jamias said her coach has high expectations for the team that they try their best every day to meet. Smith said they've found a lot of success through their coaching staff and that assistant coach Alex Cesena has been great, as well.
Next up for the Rams is a week of practice, then a matchup with Clovis West in Fresno on Saturday. After that, it's the regional final and championship game back at Golden 1 Center, and that's the team's ultimate goal.
"This team holds a pretty big standard," Jamias said. "I know everybody in this community will be watching us...it's a big community. So, it feels good having everybody on our back supporting us, giving us the love. Us, as a team, we're going to try to fight back and hopefully bring a state title home."
