By Anita Lara Boys Basketball: A senior at KSJC named Manuel Urtiz has been asked questions about him playing basketball. Manuel Urtiz has been playing basketball since his freshman year. Since his freshman year, he has been in the varsity team. As a senior he is having an “okay” season because he said that a lot of people don’t try at practice which leads into game day and they end up losing. He said that they have won four games and lost four games. He said that they have to work on defense because it’s hard for them keep up with the play once they score points. He also said that his team isn’t as great as last year, but that he still thinks that their is a chance to make it to playoffs. To do that, people need to keep their grades up because not a lot of people play games for that reason. Something different in the team is their new coach named Sunny. Something he doesn’t like about him is that he screams at people too much and it makes them panic, but at practices, he’s the one that does drills and can set up plays for them. Boys Soccer:
Here at KSJC, we have Ryan McCormack, the boys soccer coach. He has been coaching for 10 years and he played for the highest youth level. He has learned a lot of new strategies because of one of the top coaches in the country he was coached from. The formation they play is a 1-4-1-3-2. They rely on the outside players because they are the ones that have the most speed. They can switch between possession with quick passes and become a counterattack team. They are currently in second place and are behind 2 points from the team in first place. Being a coach for him can be stressful and rewarding because there is a lot of students playing and he needs to check their grades in order for them to play. He loves working with students athletes because he can talk to them about the sport and education. One thing that he is proud of is that they have improved over the years because as his first year of being a coach they went from 16 games to 8 losing and 8 of them winning to a 2 win and 6 loss league score. Since then, they had only lost 2 games in three years, and won league title. There, they went to CCS where they played in Division 3. As of today, he thinks that they have a chance to make it to CCS this year. If they win more than two games, they will qualify to the league championship game, and if they win that, then they go to Division 2 CCS. The plan for that is to play the best competition in the Bay Area and show that they can do it. He is confident that they have the talent to make it far at CCS. As of right now. LCPA is undefeated and they’re the reason why KSJC is not in first place.
