END OF THE ROAD

Another year, another playoff game. We traveled the distance and came home with a disappointing 38/74 loss.

The Summit team could shoot lights out. What great athletes!

Unfortunately, that was the end of the road. Especially for the 3 seniors who have travelled the long and winding road. Great job-Dean, Adam, and Nick. Good luck to the underclassmen Tim, Sam, Justin, Jordan, Aaron, Eric, and Jacky. We look forward to seeing you again next year. And to the JV boys who joined us tonite-Marty, Haluska, Sho, and Cameron-wish you well.

Thanks to the coaches-Duong, Danny, Adam, Joe, Norm, and Jeff!

Wishing the program continued success. Boy-what am I to do without all of this. For those who know me well-you'll know that there will be a big void in my life.

As I bid you farewell-GO AZTECS!

ON OUR WAY

So, we're heading on out to Fontana. The kids are already there as the bus arrived a few minutes ago.

Luckily the weather is good. Hated to make that 1-1/2 hour drive in the rain. The weather Gods are with us today. Hope the Bball ones are also.

Good luck and GO AZTECS!!!!!

MAXPREPS-A MISTAKE?

Both the Pasadena Star News and a very reliable personal source confirm that Alhambra did indeed beat Schurr last Friday. Maxpreps, as I found out in the beginning of the season, is not always accurate. They listed our first game as a loss to Burbank @ Keppel (a game that never happened). That was cleared up shortly thereafter. Maxpreps posts info submitted to them. I guess they don't verify the submissions.

As of 1:30pm Maxpreps has made the correction.

DID YOU KNOW?

..that the Jim Sterkel Court in the Galen Center (where USC basketball happens) was named after a former Keppelite because of a donation by an anonymous friend who was also a former Keppelite? Read the story.
