Senior Andrew Wetter said, “We have a great team chemistry. It’s been better than ever and what makes us different from every other sports team on campus or at other schools is that we’ve all known each other and played together for a long time, while other schools are full of transfers.”

Captain of the team and senior Jaime Jaquez Junior said, “This season has been different from others because we have a lot of seniors on the team and we’ve all been playing together at a young age.” Jaquez recently committed to the University of California, Los Angeles.

The team consists of mostly seniors and they are striving to make this season memorable. “The team this season is filled with senior leadership so they are looking to finish their last year on a high note,” said coach Michealtore Smith, who started coaching boys varsity basketball at Cam High in 2014. Currently, the varsity team is ranked eighth in the state and stands at 25 in the nation, according to MaxPreps.

Boys varsity will be playing against Damien High School on Dec. 8 at Cam High.
