Maurice Pireto was especially excited to play his first game as a basketball player playing in the varsity team after switching out of wrestling to join basketball the reason he switch was to try something new because he didn't find wrestling as an interest to him. Most of Maurice’s friends were in basketball and he did not want to be left out so he quit wrestling and joined basketball when the results of tryouts came he was shocked to find out he made varsity when asking Maurice what he expect from his team this year this is what he had to say “for the team to go to state this year”.
Jalen Fonseca another varsity player had things to say about the jamboree this past Tuesday on how he thought it went “I think it went good, we have a couple thing to work on but we should get them down fast and get back to Grandview basketball.” Speaking of improving Jalen had to say “be a better teammate and have everyone in a ready to go mood”. Julian Trinidad thinks “we will play great team basketball,everybody plays their role well whether its score or rebound were trying to get back to play Greyhound basketball.
