CVHS Varsity Boys Basketball Team

Our Athletes of the Week are the Castro Valley High School Varsity Boys Basketball team. The Trojans won last Wednesday’s away conference game against San Leandro High School by scoring 73-64. The Pirates led 16-14 after the first period following a layup by Lemaj Roach and a foul. San Leandro padded that lead to 35-28 at the half. But Castro Valley continued its zone defense, getting steals and breakaway passes to take the lead 50-46 at the end of the third. A series of defensive stops and scoring in the fourth period helped the Trojans increase their lead by as much as 12 points and keep the Pirates at bay for the remainder of the game. Next up for Castro Valley is a league game on the road tomorrow night against the St. Joseph Notre Dame Pilots.
