The Maryvale Varsity Boys Basketball team ran away with the 95-44 victory against the Camelback Spartans Friday night.

Maryvale Senior Guard David Jaramillo took the spotlight by exploding for 32 points, which included 10 three-pointers. That mark from behind the arc broke the record for most three-pointers in a single game in school history. The previous record was six.

Jaramillo is expected to start, along with Maryvale’s four other seniors, on February 11 against Trevor Browne for Senior Night.

“I look forward to seeing that, seeing the love that they receive and sending them out the right way,” said Maryvale head coach Jeremy Smith.

“We still anticipate the playoffs, and play-in or whatever scenario we have after that”, added Smith. “But we want to celebrate [the seniors] the right way and send them out on a high note.”

The other players expected to start on Senior Night include G Jadon Cuen, PG Abram Salazar, G Jose Villa and G Adrian Stubbs.

The Panthers latest home win improves their Region record to 5-1, good enough to keep first place in the 6A Metro Region.
