Neil Green, MSHS Boys Basketball Opens Strong Over POLA

Once Mary Star High boys basketball senior forward Neil Green started off hot, everything else fell into place for rest of the youthful Stars.

In the 2014-2015 season opening crosstown showdown with visiting Port Of Los Angeles, Green made his first five shots in the first quarter en route to scoring a game-high 25 points in powering Mary Star to a 65-50 victory over the Polar Bears. Green outdueled POLA senior guard Brandon Ramirez, who scored 23.

Green hit his first three shots, all three-pointers, while sophomore guard Nathan Linayao also drilled a three-pointer to spark Mary Star to a 29-13 lead in the first quarter. Green outscored POLA on his own in the first eight minutes with 16 first quarter points. The Stars would take a 43-22 lead at halftime and cruised from there despite the Polar Bears' scrappiness.

The Stars (1-0) led wire-to-wire and led by as much as 25 points, and POLA couldn't get any closer than 29-20 early in the second quarter.

Linayao scored 10 points, and sophomore point guard Nick Billings added 9 points for Mary Star, who got 11 rebounds from junior center Justin Rodriguez. Senior forward Kevin Mendoza had 12 points and 7 rebounds for POLA (0-1), who played its first game under new head coach Matthew Willins.
