How unlikely? Webb head coach Samuel Goldstein is the Gauls’ fourth in four years. The boys finished the regular season 3-13, and came in last in the San Joaquin League with an anemic 0-9 record. But the team jelled at just the right moment, starting a seven-game win streak just as the tournament was about to begin. Courier photo/Andrew Alonzo
