Chino Hills Basketball Game Analysis

I walked off the floor with sweat dripping from my hair. So many thoughts flew through my head that I couldn’t focus on anything. My junior year of basketball felt like it ended as quickly as a blink. It was as if in seconds we went from the stars of the state tournament to the embarrassments of it. I tried to forget the disappointment of it but it still will not leave. My desire and love to win games comes from the more apparent hatred of losing them. Junior year we had a chance to win a state championship, but we lost that chance. That was when I realized that I had one chance left to win. Senior year our basketball success would only be as rewarding as we would make it. The pressure placed on ourselves was substantial, and we faced trials on the road to success. In the end, we stood alone, crowned as the champions, not letting our chance slip away.

About three weeks ago, the Packer Varsity baseball team beat Berkeley Carroll school for the first time in twelve years and in glorious fashion. Tears streamed down my face as our winning run crossed the plate in extra innings, dust flying up as my teammates and I mobbed each other at the plate. Yet a few short days later, our team was blindsided by the news that St. Ann’s had pulled off back to back upsets to squeak their way into the playoffs ahead of us - just as our season seemed to be looking up, it was over.

Chino Hills High School Huskies are known throughout the district for having a great sense of "Husky Pride." This is because the Huskies have a lot of school spirit, and compassion for everything on our campus. However, this 2016-2017 school year, "Husky Pride" has become "Husky PRIDE!"

For this assignment I choose to attend a Los Angeles Clippers game even though I am a big Lakers fan; mainly because it better fit into my budget and the appeal of watching this young high flying team made it seem like it was going to be a good night. Going into the game it was being dubbed as the “battle of the double-doubles” as the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Kevin Love and his 28 straight double doubles took on Blake Griffin and his 26 straight double doubles.

With the Christmas tournament aside, we entered the post-season without a loss. We had a plan for each playoff game from districts to regional. We never deviated from the plan, keeping our eye on the target –

UCLA has a world renouned sports program, consisting of highly ranked and successfully teams. UCLA carries a huge reputation on its back in sports, molding Lakers point guard Lonzo ball and producing hall-of-famers in almost every one of their Sports. Are you worthy to live up to 100 NCAA titles, or a count of 261 Olympic medals? UCLA’s girls basketball team is ranked number 11 in the entire woman's NCAA program. Due to the incredible coaching by Corey Close, amazing training facilities, and very gritty players willing to strive for excellence causes them to acquire athletic domination. The way of coaching implemented by and iconic coach named John Wooden is the pyramid of Success, which pushes all athletes to succeed soon enough to become as iconic like players such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Jackie Robinson.

You don't hear everyday a high school team winning state championships that often, but at Archbishop Wood it's sort of common. I proudly can say I am one of the few that has not one, but two state championship rings under my belt. As a sophomore AND a junior in high school, my basketball team accomplished being State Champions two years in a row. The first year we won was one of the best experiences of being apart of a team. After losing in the state championship the year before, we knew we had to somehow get back the next year and make sure we'd come out with the trophy. As the new season began in  November of 2016, we played in the Nike tournament of champions in Arizona. The trip was one of the most memorable trips ever with the best group of girls. We had a blast,

“This team will probably go down in history maybe as one of the best ever for what we accomplished this year,” WVU head coach Randy Mazey said. “I think our guys showed a lot of heart, a lot of tenacity and there are Mountaineer fans everywhere super proud of our team. We made a lot of Mountaineer baseball fans that weren’t Mountaineer baseball fans prior to this year. This is a statement about our program, where it’s going and the direction it’s headed. We’ve got us a baseball program that we can be super proud of. We have a great facility, great administration and great fan support. This is not the end. This is the beginning of a great baseball program.”

I was born in June the year UCONN won their first men’s basketball championship. I’m sure I heard my mother cheer when the final buzzer rang. She was not the first Husky, though. It was my aunt, Judy Lion Carbonella, a graduate of ‘82, who planted the seed early on for me to follow in her footsteps. There are also my cousins: Captain Anthony Carbonella IV, undergraduate of ’07 and graduate from UCONN Dentil ‘11, U.S. Air Force Dentist; Gregory Carbonella, ‘11, now in medical school; Daniel Carbonella, ‘11, UCONN School of Business; Jeffrey Carbonella ‘16, currently anticipating his acceptance into UCONN’s medical school, my brother, Mitchell DelVecchio, ‘10, Pharmacist, and my mother, ‘85, Math Department Head.

We went 4-1 when he was gone with the loss being to Beckman Catholic High School. We had beaten them earlier in the year and the reason we had lost was a last second play when one of our guys missed a layup to win. This loss was hard on the team. After it we were 17-4 on the season. The last game was coming up only one day away and he was back from his weeks off. He was so excited to play. We got to the game and it was about game time. We knew they were gonna be a good team we just had to expect that day in and day out. He did not start this game but he came in soon after a couple minutes of play. When he came in he got two quick fouls and had to go out again. When he came back in for the second time he made his first shot and was happy to be back with his team. He ended up fouling out in the beginning of the fourth quarter. In that fourth quarter we were down by 4 with 2 minutes left. Our team is one of the best freshman teams in our conference and was known for scoring when we needed it most and this is exactly what happened the team pulled there and won the game to finish the season with a win. The overall record of the team was 18-4. This year I would like our team to be undefeated and for everyone on our team to score at least once. I can’t wait to see what our 2018 season has in store for our

team was said to be one of the best in the entire NCAA men’s basketball. The Kentucky basketball could shoot the ball, they could pass the ball, and they could dribble the ball like no other team that year. If there was any year for a NCAA basketball team to go undefeated this was the team. They were the don't-even-try-to-beat-us-because-we-will-still-crush-you team of the league. Coach John Calipari was in his 6th year of coaching and was in his prime. That year they had Julius Randle as power forward and James Young as their small forward, both of these men would go on to be first round draft picks in 2014. This star team also had the returning twins Aaron

This year, one of the biggest hometown heroes, Lonzo Ball is going to college at UCLA. Now, the official Bruin move in day was September 15th thru the 18th but because he a part of the basketball team he got to move in earlier in the summer. So because he got to move in early he got a chance to participate in UCLA’s summer basketball exhibition series in Melbourne Australia. They played a few games against other colleges from around, and they destroyed most of them, but against Melbourne United they actually lost. This year the basketball team should be much improved with not only Lonzo coming in but also 2 other McDonald’s All-Americans, in TJ Leaf and Ike Anugbogu. The head coach of the team Steve Alford said “ With the addition of these

With the season on the line, the seniors team had to win against St. Francis Xavier. Down by two baskets at the end of

The first few videos I watched seem to be funny videos, less severe problems. The video that seem to gain my attention was the video title North Hollywood Shootout. This video was shocking and disgusting on how cruel some criminals can actually be. Before watching this video, I also never heard about this shootout. Made me wonder, how are citizen able to get a hold of these type of weapons. But police officers request was denied when they tried to get approve to carry assault rifle. These career criminals were able to get many rounds of ammunition to outduel the police officers and wounding a few of them and also wounding a few citizens. This shootout lasted for about an hour. It speculated that Larry Philips either accidently killed himself
