Liberty High basketball star Joshua Jefferson relishes the challenge of helping Saint Mary’s close the gap on national power Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference.
Having been canceled just two years ago due to growing concerns of the coronavirus, the NCAA Tournament will look like its familiar self.
