Tucson High School Sports

VIDEOS: St. Augustine Burgeoning High School Hoops Program in Tucson You May Not Know


There’s a parochial high school in Tucson that has a boys basketball team that is 17-2 overall with a player who averages more than 20 points a game.

And it is not Salpointe Catholic.

It is St. Augustine Catholic High School located on the east side.

The Wolves, led by junior guard Thomas Reyna (21.2 points a game), continue their 2A South schedule tonight with a game at Globe at 7. Reyna has 1,099 points in his career. With another year in his career, he has the opportunity to reach 2,000 points.

Coach Michael Reyna, Thomas’ father who played for the legendary Roland LaVetter at Rincon/University, has his team atop the 2A South with a 6-1 record. Globe is 7-14 and 0-8.

Tucsonans have the opportunity to watch St. Augustine play at McKale Center on Monday for the MLK Classic. The Wolves will match up against Desert Christian (11-9, 5-3) at 11 a.m. in the first of seven games that day.

St. Augustine was our guest this week for the AllSportsTucson.com High School Sports Preview Show at Wings Over Broadway at Camino Seco. Here are video interviews with Michael Reyna and his team:
