Welcome Back Lobos!

The 2010 summer has been a productive one. Seven members of the Lobo Basketball Program attended the Sean Miller Basketball Camp on the campus of the University of Arizona. 36 teams were in attendance and competed in a tournament setting Thursday through Saturday. The Lobos had the opportunity to play 3 times in McKale Center. We played against some of the best programs in Tucson (Catalina Foothills, Mountain View, Amphi, and Salpointe Catholic).
McKale Center is one of the greatest venues for college basketball in the United States. It was the host of a 72 game home winning streak, 4 Final Four teams, and 1 national championship. It has also hosted many NCAA tournament games in its history. It is one of the hardest tickets to come by as every home game is a sellout in excess of 14,500 seats!

I am proud of the young men for staying committed to improving their overall basketball skills along with learning what it takes to become an even better person in their lives. I thank my administration of Chris Jackson and Alicia Alvarez for allowing us to attend this event.

More photos will be posted!

Go Lobos!

Knott's Berry Farm Trip 2010!

Alta Vista High School is a special place for many reasons.
One of those reasons is the opportunity to have a trip to Knott's Berry Farm if you have perfect attendance throughout the school year. Over 90 students accomplished this goal this year. Here are some photos of this exciting annual trip. Thanks to AnJeanine Lopez for the photos! Nice job!
