WINTER 2021-2022

Elementary/Middle School Winter Sports

Recap

ELEMENTARY GIRLS & BOYS BASKETBALL

In the winter season, Elementary Boys and Girls Basketball was a big turnout with many motivated athletes involved! Coaches Easter Tauaese-Faafiti, Adnan Jawed, and Jason Hom provided comprehensive knowledge in fundmentals, drills, dribbling, passing, and shooting techniques. Unfortunately, as the pandemic peaked in early 2022, the program halted for almost a month due to safety measures. However, when it reopened, it was something better! The final week was a highlight of the season for boys and girls. Both had a scrimmage against the Fremont Youth Ball Club at the Big Gym! Unbelievably said, it was their first live competition for more than one year. The spirits from players, coaches, and fans during the game were astonishingly incredible! Basketball brought a lot of hope for our young children with their potential in upcoming years!

MIDDLE SCHOOL

GIRLS BASKETBALL

When basketball arrived in Middle School, the girls were the first to start a tip-off In this sport. Coaches Alicia Flores and Manuel Sandoval led those brilliant athletes to their maximum potential. Their season was quite outstanding, with a winning record with several winning streaks. Most of the games were finished with a considerable margin, and the team was well-balanced, with expertise in-game management, ball possession, and play schemes. All players have a strong background in basketball, and their knowledge is unmatched. Big applause to this special group of players with their proven record of achievements on the court!

MIDDLE SCHOOL

BOYS BASKETBALL

The second part of the basketball season in Middle School was for boys, and it was their first team sport of the current athletic year. After months and months of waiting, the team unleashed above-average talents under coaches Manuel Sandoval and Alicia Flores. The Boys Basketball team roster had not completed its full strength from week to week due to many circumstances, but players were never affected by those as they concluded with a winning record. Unfortunately, the season was skipped through the first month of 2022 due to a coronavirus pandemic. The potential from this team is hardly unnoticed, and it is no doubt that they would thrive in upcoming basketball years! Keep it up!

BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL

After almost 20 months of no basketball, the CSD Varsity Boys Basketball team was thrilled to finally have a season! The team was full of first-time varsity student-athletes with no returning veterans. We started 3-7 due to our inexperience, but the team finally found their chemistry and went on a 6-1 winning streak to end the regular season with 9-8 record and second place in our League. 

We qualified for our Bay Counties League Playoffs and won the semifinals but lost in the championship game by 3 points in a heartbreaker. The team gained valuable experience playing in the first round of the North Coast Section Division 6 Playoffs despite losing and ending our season with 10-10 record.

The coaches want to recognize our 4 seniors - Andrew Garza, Nate Goff, Christopher Navarette-Pleitez and Manager Jesus Castro-Arreaga for their 3 years of dedication and contribution to the basketball program. We look forward to hosting several events next season including Battle of California, CSD Classic and Clerc Classic Tournament!

BOYS JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL

Basketball during the pandemic was a challenge as we all navigated through this together. Year-long layoff since March 2020 getting up to speed for some, this was their first time playing organized basketball ever. For some, it was a new sport learning the rules of the game such as placement, proper stance, illegal maneuvers, and installed plays that include quick strategy thinking that also included social skills in group settings.

As a coach for JV last 6 years, this has been the most challenging group I've had this far, which makes it even more meaningful because my job is to develop their footwork, skills and knowledge of the game as well as be ready for more competitive path to Varsity team.

As a coach I could have not done this without the help of my coaching staff - Joshua , Tan, Assistant Selman as well as our Athletic Director Bailey. They help me stay focus this year due to changing dynamics daily. 

Basketball for 2022-23 season looks bright since everyone will come back plus new players. CSD basketball is on the right track, as I and coaching staff, will continue to lead CSD Culture, the way of basketball Eagle pride!
