That’s right; the BBCA Crusaders Boys Basketball team captured their first win in four seasons on Friday evening. The game was played in El Cerrito against the Arlington Patriots. Against the backdrop of four winless seasons, the very loud home crowd, and their own uncertainty, our Crusaders played with courage and determination to bring home this victory.

At the end of the first quarter we trailed by only one point; however, at halftime we were down by six.  Then, the boys rallied together and, with a stifling defensive effort, went on a 12-0 run in the third quarter to take a six point lead; a lead they would not relinquish through the remainder of the game. Our boys outscored the Patriots 21-17 in the fourth quarter to secure a 46-35 victory!

This win was a total team effort with all seven boys playing and contributing in a meaningful way. Congratulations to the team and to Coach Eaton on the victory! Keep up the good work!
