High School Basketball
On
behalf of parents, coaches and friends, I wish to congratulate
Westview Basketball for their hard work, determination,
sacrifice, and accomplishments both on and off the court.
Many players began their basketball careers in Rancho
Penasquitos Basketball, oftentimes coached by their
fathers. Later, they played in the Sun Devil and Westview
programs before going on to play high school basketball.
Their efforts resulted in a strong Westview Basketball program
and made everyone proud to come and watch them play.
To
seniors Nick Madamba, Grant Taylor, Dylan Horn, CJ Langley,
Matt Gruber, Kevin Diaz, Brian Duffy, Parker Suggs, and
Max Wafer, a very special thank you and best wishes in your
future endeavors. The determination and teamwork you displayed
on the basketball court provide insight into your bright
future.
