I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion by Mia Hamm. After an intense and exciting year, members of our sports teams came together to celebrate their accomplishments and reflect on all the, “funny” moments they had throughout the year. We started off our night with lots of laughter, watching slideshows of the athletes when they were younger. After laughing at each other’s baby pictures, we opened up the microphone to anyone that had a funny story about the team; needless to say many took this opportunity. Muhammad Ali once said, “Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision.” Our athletes have something that many others lack and that is a genuine passion and love for the game. They play not because of the recognition that it brings, but because it is an extension and expression of whom they are. I thank God for my Athletes and all that they have taught me. They could not have made my first year as Athletics Director any better then it already was.

Our Middle School Boys had a phenomenal basketball season coming in both 2nd place during the regular season, as well as second place overall. The amount of growth and maturity that each player has developed throughout the season can be attributed to their hard work, determination, and attitude. This year I have been blessed with two amazing coaches, Mr. Peter Garcia & Mr. Gary Garcia. They have spent countless hours practicing, mentoring, and developing their athlete’s abilities and skills, all in an effort not only to get their athletes to be able to play High School Basketball, but for them to become better individuals. Congratulations Middle School Eagles on a great season.
Middle School Team: Jonathan Guzman, Joseph Nadal, Larry Dos Santos, Xavier Grier, Eli Morales, Tysheem McCaskie, Jason Cherry, Wesley Bryant, Raylee Cuadrado, Sam Garcia, Daneil Byrne, Carl Roberts Jr, and Christopher Reyes.
