St. Ignatius has now won his first two pool games in a dominant way and defeated Serra and Milpitas by 13 points.

Although their spot has already been won, the wildcats still intend to get out of their pool with a game against Bellarmine on Wednesday. After losses against Milpitas on Friday and Serra on Monday, the bells are from the title game Mix.
“Regardless of the result of CCS, we cannot go 0: 3 against Bellarmine,” said Greenfield, whose team left two games after Bellarmine within the regular season. “We owe them and I think we'll be up and ready in this game.”
Milpitas may have one other shot to beat a WCAL school when the Trojans play Serra on Wednesday to shut the pool game.
