CSUS will be adding another trophy to its display case for the fourth straight year. Our boys came into the game as such significant underdogs, that the only people who thought they could win were the Cobras themselves. After a slow start, the team regrouped at halftime and came out firing on all cylinders. Christian V. and James F. got things started off early in the 2nd half and then David P. took over in overtime. Nick N. was incredible defensively, perfectly executing the defensive strategy and holding Putnam's 6'4 center to only two baskets for the game. Still, the play of the game came in the final minute of regulation from Harrison B, who stepped up to take a vicious charge from Putnam's star guard, fouling him out and preserving the one point Cobra lead.
CSUS went on to claim the victory 37-34 in overtime. The title is the school's fifth in four years the boys' and girls' teams have claimed since the creation of the middle school league.
The boys won with class and made their coaches and their school proud.
