Highlights from our program:

3/30/11
Today at 3:30 pm, PL faced off against Vista's basketball team. Despite a hard loss with a score of 56-69, the boys played continuosly with tremendous effort and positive sportsmanship.

One key player during today's game was Dontrell who had a fantastic showing, scoring a season high double double of 25 points and 21 rebounds; 13 of those points made during the 4th quarter! 

Other contributing players were Joseph, with his excellent defense to produce 3 critical steals, Mark who posted 8 points, all follow-up scores from his offensive rebounds and Roberto with 7 aggressive and well earned rebounds.

Although the boys met with defeat, the realization set in amongst them that practice is definitely required in order to improve their skills and to work more as a cohesive unit rather than a group of 5 individuals on the basketball court.

Throughout this tumultuous season, the coaches and myself have strongly emphasized to the players that practice does serve in the process of bettering their skills, yet turnout is very small, thus enabling the boys to grow more as a TEAM.

So please, when you see the boys on campus, encourage them to keep their heads up high and participate in practice. Also, congratulate and commend the coaches once again for all of their hard work and time that they willingly contribute to the basketball program.
