With the start of the regular season three months away, there is reason for optimism.  Although fairly inexperienced at the varsity level, with only three returning players, the team  has made excellent progress through the spring and summer and has gained valuable experience in over 45 games.

 

The players have put in the extra effort required to compete at the varsity level and they have bought into the program philosophy and style of play needed to peak perform.  The emphasis of playing as a team, playing smart and playing hard will continue to be the focus.  During the summer the guys improved in all three areas but our main objective of playing hard every game was achieved.  As we prepare for the regular season, the fall will be dedicated to maintaining concentration and maximizing the ability to play as a team and play smart.  Being a very intelligent group with high potential...we are eager to "get back to work."

 

The 2010-2011 varsity team will be led by three returning guards in Sevan Zarifian (Sr.), Emerson Castaneda (Jr.) and Zack Gardea (Jr.) and four key contributors from last years Junior Varsity team in Greg Stratz, Ben Maynard, Sean Brennan and Matt Kaufman.

 

There is a lot of work to be done, but all indications are that this group will be a real TEAM. Time will Tell...

 

 

The lower level teams are taking shape and showing tremendous progress during the summer.  With many multi-sport athletes and the year round commitments of all sports, the summer can be quite a grind.  Through it all, the lower level teams exhibited the sacrifice and commitment needed to raise the level play within the program.  We are very excited and encouraged about the future.

 

As always, the lower level players are encouraged and welcomed to join the varsity in the fall workouts.
