Honor roll: The week’s best performances by San Mateo County high school athletes

Maile Bateman, Crystal Springs Uplands girls’ basketball. The Gryphons made program history by qualifying the for the CIF Northern California Division V tournament, the team’s first state tourney appearance ever, and advanced to the regional semifinals with wins over Immaculate Conception Academy and Bear River. In the home win over ICA, 65-33, a program first on the CIF stage, Bateman enjoyed an 11-point third quarter en route to scoring a game-high 19 points.

Furious Clay, Crystal Springs Uplands boys’ track. The junior captured the 800-meter race at the Dan Gabor Invitational in Pleasanton over the weekend. His time of 1:56.23 was almost a personal record and it is the fastest 800 time in the Central Coast Section so far this season.

Tyler Wong, Sacred Heart Prep baseball. The junior shortstop is off to a strong start to the season. Of his seven hits through four games, three have been home runs. In a 9-8 win over Riordan, Wong homered as he went 3 for 4 with four RBIs. In a 7-3 loss to Sequoia, Wong went 3 for 4 with two homers and three RBIs.

Peter Olson, Serra boys’ track. The junior hurdler started the season with a bang. While he finished third in the 300 hurdles at the Sac State HS Classic, his time of 41.03 was a personal best and the early-season CCS leader.

Bridget Reynolds, Woodside girls’ track and field. The junior shot putter won the event during a dual meet with Half Moon Bay. Her throw of 32 feet was a new personal record for Reynolds and is also the longest throw in CCS early in the season.

Holden Glavin and Charlie Dohemann, Burlingame baseball. The Panthers got back-to-back gems from their two senior arms. Glavin set the tone in Friday’s 6-0 win over Sacred Heart Prep, tossing a two-hit shutout. It was a tough act to follow, but Dohemann managed just fine, leading Burlingame to a 6-0 victory over El Camino by firing a one-hit shutout.

Ryan Lordier, Capuchino baseball. The senior has batted safely in all six of Cap’s games this season, and enjoyed a monster stretch from Feb. 24-28. While his 5-for-8 stretch from Feb. 24-25 doesn’t count toward last week’s batting line, he saved a season-best four-hit game for last Monday’s 8-1 win over Evergreen Valley, going 4 for 4 with a triple and two RBIs.

Chris Kelly and Andrew Murray, Hillsdale baseball. The Knights are off to a 4-0 start, and last Tuesday’s 9-0 win at Woodside was the gem of the bunch so far. Hillsdale’s senior right-handers combined on a one-hit shutout, with Kelly working five no-hit innings as the starter, before Murray faced one over the minimum and allowed out hit through two scoreless frames. The duo combined for 12 strikeouts.

Alexa Couto, Notre Dame-Belmont softball. The junior is off to a red-hot start for the blue-and-gold. Through the Tigers’ wins of 7-1 over St. Ignatius and 15-1 over Half Moon Bay, Couto is batting 6 for 8 with a home run and three RBIs. But the entire NDB lineup is cooking, batting .347 as a team.

Austin Lachapelle, San Mateo baseball. The left-handed pitcher earned a 3-2 win over Lincoln-SF, going six innings, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out 11.

Aidan Braccia, Sacred Heart Prep boys’ basketball. With the Gators advancing to the CIF Northern California Division I regional semifinals, Braccia delivered above his season average of 18.9 points per game in all three games. SHP opened the tourney with an 83-70 win over Dougherty Valley, led by Braccia’s 28 points, and closed it with a 64-58 loss to Clovis North with the senior scoring 22. But his best effort came in the Nor Cal quarterfinals, a 77-70 win over Oakland Tech, in which Braccia netted a season-high 30 points.
