Both of these young men are a coach’s delight as they are willing to do all those things that make a team great.  They will guard the other team’s best player, big or small, dive on the floor or get every loose ball.

They even volunteer to carry the water bottles and basketballs!  Cheers to these two for being what all should strive to be! -Coach Stamps

As one of our team captains, Javier pushes everyone to be their best. This week leading up to Bellevue Christian tournament, he pushed his team during practice and at the tournament. Not only does he show leadership on the mat, he is also a leader in the classroom. This last weekend he faced a stacked weight class, went into overtime in his second match to pull out a tough win. He walked away taking 1st place and also lead his team to take 1st place as a team. -Coach Chambers
