Men’s Basketball Rebounds to Rout SD Miramar

The Santiago Canyon College men's basketball team erupted for 59 second-half points against the San Diego Miramar College Jets on Friday night, securing its largest win of the season in a 95–60 rout. Four of the five Hawks starters scored in double figures to power the dominant performance.

After dropping two of their previous three games, the Hawks responded by tying their highest offensive output in a victory this season. It marked their second-highest scoring total overall, backed by a strong all-around effort.

Sophomore Ryan Weber posted a strong all-around performance with 20 points and nine rebounds, leading the team with 15 shot attempts. Freshman Dominic Bolton earned the start and contributed 19 points, while sophomore Salim Semaan added 10 points and eight rebounds.
