After an upset loss at home Tuesday night, the San Marcos High School boys basketball team suddenly finds itself in a playoff race.

The San Marcos High School boys basketball team ended up having to earn its fifth straight win twice Tuesday night, but ultimately finished the job with a 56-48 overtime win against Lehman in the Snake Pit. The Rattlers had to regain their composure after Lehman, trailing 38-21 through three quarters, battled back to a 42-42 tie at the final regulation time buzzer.

However the San Marcos High School boys basketball team handled the first three quarters Monday night in Seguin, they lost that handle in the fourth quarter.

A second half collapse at Smithson Valley led to the San Marcos Rattlers losing their second straight boys basketball game Tuesday night, 80-67.

Unable to keep up with Cibolo Steele’s speed and quickness, the San Marcos High School boys basketball lost for the first time this season, 67-43 at the Snake Pit Friday night.
