It’s the best time of year, basketball season. Even though there’s no NBA season, basketball still lives on in Fountain Valley.
The Barons are getting ready for the upcoming season with high hopes and an experienced squad which consists of six returning players. Last year the Barons hired alumni coach Roger Holmes, whom is in the Baron Basketball Hall of Fame and originally planned to retire, but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to coach for his hometown. Even though the Barons underwent a huge change, hiring a new coach and implementing a new system, they made it into the second round of C.I.F playoffs.
However, this year, the Barons are entering the season with more certainty and a drive that will lead to many wins in the winter.
“It is now the second year with our new coach and we are much more familiar with what he expects from us. Our team understands the amount of hard work that it must take to be successful and we are willing to do that,” said Jeff Law (’12) about their upcoming basketball season.
The first game is a scrimmage against Woodbridge on November 21st at FVHS and the official season begins November 28th as the Barons enter the La Quinta tournament.
