Zack Davidson has been an experienced, stable force for a young Mater Dei squad this season, and he proved it again in the Monarchs' title win over Etiwanda.
Davidson worked from the high and low post in the first half as Mater Dei mounted a slight lead. A trusty hammer, he pounded away again and again in the second half, the hub of the Monarchs’ workmanlike offense.
After he slung a layup just long in the third quarter, the 6-8 Montana commit galloped back down the court to snare a rebound on the other end, then hightailed back down the court to receive a pass for an emphatic and-one to push the Monarchs’ lead to 11. It was a special blend of skill and heart, a four-year guy throwing every drop of sweat into a performance his Monarchs needed.
“We knew he was going to be a tough player to defend,” Etiwanda co-head coach Danny Ryan said. “And we game-planned for it. But sometimes, guys are just that good, they’re that big, they’re that strong.”For three years, Davidson’s been nursing the sting of a freshman-year loss to Chatsworth Sierra Canyon in an Open Division championship game. And even as he was swarmed by photos after the final buzzer, presented with the championship plaque, his teammates had to urge him to smile wider.
“When I was on the bus ride here — there’s nothing that was going to stop me from feeling like that again,” Davidson said postgame, reflecting on that freshman-year loss. “Because winning’s cool. But there’s nothing worse than losing.”
