A Little "March 'Mad'ness" in CYO

Who needs TV for basketball excitement? At an EBPL girls' basketball game, you could come across the "School of the Madeleine" band (pictured above)  encouraging their teams, perhaps even playing "Fight for California!" Thanks to the band for the inspiration!

As part of pre-season activities, Metro CYO league began with a Second Grade Jamboree for these young players. Eight teams participated, playing three times over two weekends. League President Janice Pontes said, "Watching these girls play their first  CYO games is priceless.  Nothing but SMILES!  Everyone is happy - players, coaches, and parents.  I wish every coach could experience the joy that was in the gym last weekend."
Pictured above is the St. John (San Lorenzo) team in their Jamboree T-Shirts with coaches Ray Bannister (left) and Louie Spores. Coach Bannister has been coaching in CYO for over 40 years!
