It has been some time since we last played against Poly, so maybe they have come up with a plan to win against us. However, I’m sure Coach Donovan Womack has organized plays to secure an even greater victory against Poly high.

No one really has the upper hand when it comes to star players statistics, however against common opponents North Hollywood has the upper hand.

Our senior huskies have been working hard all their years of high school, and it’s now their last high school basketball game. 

Number 1, Ronnie Gipson, feels like “It came pretty quick, I didn’t expect it to come pretty fast. I’m going to leave it all on the court for the last game. I’ve made a lot of memories in these four years, and I wouldn’t have the friends that I have if I didn’t play basketball. I wouldn’t have the memories either, and I loved playing all four years in varsity for North Hollywood high school. Thank you North Hollywood High School.”

Number 14, Abraham Metzger, feels like “It’s bittersweet in a way. I’m excited to play and compete but also saddened that this will be my last league game. It also doesn’t help the fact that I have had the flu all week so I am just hoping I can play my best tomorrow.”

Number 15, Victor Garcia, feels like “it’s gone by very fast. I’m happy it happened, but I’m also kind of sad that it’s over. Hopefully we can extend the season by making it into the playoffs.” Yup

Number 24, Ryan Magallanes, feels “excited but I’m sad that it’s my last game just ready for playoffs and tryna win a championship.”

Number 0, Alexander Espinoza (varsity junior,) says that “We’re going to win Wednesday and Fridays game to be second seed in the league.”
