A team with returning players leads with confidence. Returning coach Sal Rodriguez said “almost all of our main players are returning this year. I am looking forward to one of our best seasons yet.”
Having won their first four games, the boys basketball team is well on their way to the CIF playoffs.
With five of the players on the team being seniors—Brandon Bickett, Justin Shand, Luke Judson, Troy Ritter, and Logan Elder—the team has a veteran presence on the court which will doubtlessly lead them to the top of the condor league.
The team has lost 3 of their last few games, one being in overtime to division 2AA team Hueneme, the other was in double overtime to Thacher, and most recently to Cate.
Injury has taken a toll on the team, as both seniors Luke Judson and Troy Ritter are out for the season with ankle injuries.
In order to have a successful month of January, the team will have to rethink its strategy, and look to the newcomers, utilizing the size of freshman Stephen McCaffery.
