Bosco Basketball's last 3 victories have been against teams ranked in the L.A. Times Top 25 (St. Anthony last Friday, Fairfax yesterday, and Windward tonight).

In Coach Matt Dunn's 5th year as Head Coach at St. John Bosco, he has gathered a core group of seniors who are the leaders of the team.

SENIORS - Josh Camper is a captain and clearly the floor leader. Wynton Brown (committed to NAU) is a scoring threat in the inside and a force to be reckoned with by anyone trying to enter the paint. Isaiah Holm (committed to Chico State) has both good post moves and can hit the three from outside. John Gallegos can hit from downtown and is a good perimeter defender.

As for the underclassmen, look for Lemaj Lewis (junior), Hunter Richardson (junior), and Jeremiah Nyarko (sophomore) to make major contributions this season. Indeed, all three are getting a good amount of minutes so far this season.

Junior Lemaj Lewis is an offensive force to be reckoned with as big man who can handle the ball.

Although things are looking up for our basketball Braves in this tournament, Coach Dunn will undoubtedly remind his team that the end goals are both a CIF-SS and CIF-State titles. Just like that other Bosco team...

Go Braves Basketball!
