The Video

The End of A Season, The New Beginning for Coach Danny

Danny had a following. Here are "Danny's Boys". He loves them all! And the feeling is mutual.

The class of 2006 referred to by Danny as "the OGs". This is his first group of JVers. Also included in this photo are some boys from '05.

These guys never made it to Danny. They went straight to Varsity from the Freshmen team. However, Danny still has a place in his heart for them. Hey Mikey!

Class of 2007. Are they legal already?

Class of 2008. Next year they too will be legal. Yikes!

How sad for the Class of 2009 . And then there were only 3.

Class of 2010. What can I say. The blog says it all.

The Class of 2011. Next year's seniors.

Alas, this is the final class, the Class of 2012, to see Danny as a single man. Coach Duong, Henry & Jon decided to join in with this group shot. & Sam-where'd you come from?

To Jenn & Danny-Here's wishing you a long and happy life together. The Class of 2013 may see a different Danny. Nah!

South Prevails in Div II State Championship Game

Lincoln over Mountain View St. Francis (74-59) to gain the first San Diego Section Division II state champion. Congratulations!

The 2009-2010 Mens Basketball Highlight DVD
