Lobos Howl at the Griffins and win 46-15!

The Alta Vista High School basketball team played their final game of the 2o10-2011 season tonight at the Kino Memorial Center. After starting slow, the Lobos picked up the pace and ran to a 46-15 victory over the Griffins of Greenfield Country Day.
We celebrated the seven senior players on the team during our pre-game festivities. The seniors have worked very hard this season to leave a positive legacy for the underclassmen on our team. Jesus Leyva, Angel Martinez, Tre Lewis, Milton Hernandez, Miguel Maldonado, Frankie Romero, and Shaheed Clemens have laid a foundation for the younger players to follow and emulate.

The Lobos were led by Jesus Leyva's career high 23 point performance. Shaheed Clemens added 8 points and many ferocious rebounds. Other scoring contributors were:
Miguel Maldonado 4
Josue Boldin 4
Frank Leon 3
Milton Hernandez 2
Frankie Romero 2

I would like to take a moment to thank many people for many reasons:

• Alicia Alvarez and Chris Jackson for allowing me the opportunity to coach our wonderful young men.
• Marissa Goode and Valeria Romero for their efforts as team managers which included game day book keeping and filming.
  
• Coach Garrett for setting up the game day hype machine at school and giving us an authentic 'arena' style of vibe at our home court.
• The staff and faculty who constantly frequented our games both home and away.
• The Lobo students who followed us to every game and cheered us to victory!
• Mr. Harris and his mad camera skills. I know you will put the raw footage and weave it into an amazing experience.
  
• The Lobo parents who allowed their sons to play the great game of basketball for Alta Vista High School.
  
• The Kino Center for being great hosts for our season. We are lucky to have such a facility to call home.
  

I hope everyone enjoyed the season as much as I enjoyed coaching it.
Looking forward to a wonderful spring!


Fire Up!
