Selma is 12-4

The Immanuel Eagles have recovered well after losing two games in a row a couple weeks ago. Last week, they beat a good Centennial team who has beat some of Fresno’s best teams, and this week they beat Liberty-Bakersfield who is also accustomed to winning. The Eagles will have another tough test this week when they play Edison on Monday the 19th. The special MLK showcase will take place at The College of the Sequoia’s at 7:30 p.m.

Selma defeated Washington Union to win 5 of their last 6 games.

You don’t really hear much about division 5 teams, but the Sierra Chieftains are making some noise. The Chieftains have a good 7-4 record and will have to prove something in their upcoming games. They have three games on their schedule that will define their greatness against Kerman, Liberty-Madera, and Washington Union. Either Sierra High School will experience defeat for the first time in about a month, or they will pull off huge upsets against “bigger” schools.

Sunnyside also beat Madera South.

After only losing one game in December and nearly owning the number 1 spot in the FresYes! rankings, The Madera South Stallions have experienced a meltdown. They have lost 4 games in a row, and 5 of their last 7. The Stallions need to turn it around while they still have the chance. The team plays well, and have great potential. They just need more focus.

The Warriors beat Buchanan.

Fresno and Roosevelt have been playing lights out. Both teams are 13-2, and will have a show down on 1-30-15. But before that showdown happens, both teams need to maintain dominance for the next week. Both teams will have to get through The Sunnyside Wildcats first. Fresno plays Sunnyside on 1-21-15 at Fresno High at 6:30 pm. Then Roosevelt will play Sunnyside on 1-28-15 at Roosevelt at 6:30 pm.

Central defeated West-Bakersfield

Clovis West continues to play good basketball. They have yet to lose to a Fresno/Clovis team. They played Clovis North to the wire and won a buzzer beater. This week they will play Central who has enough talent to beat them. The game will take place Tuesday at Central High School at 7:30 pm.

As we all recover from the buzz high school football left, it’s time to begin high school basketball. High school basketball isn’t just once a week, it’s pure madness that you can see almost every day.

DSC03215If you enjoy high school football, then you will really enjoy high school basketball. Because most games are played in a gym, the environment is more “up close and personal.” You almost feel like you being there will have an impact on the game. It can get really loud in the gym, because it’s indoors. You can smell the rubber from the bottom of the player’s sneakers. Best of all, when things heat up on the court, the temperature could literally heat up in the gym. You will literally feel in the game.

High school basketball is a good way to learn and appreciate the game of basketball. We know sometimes college and professional basketball could be a little boring to watch on TV. But when you experience the game in person, you will begin to notice the details of the game. Exciting details such as the quickness of these players, the intensity of the coaches, and the fact that some high school players can dunk the ball!

DSC03216You can feel the nerves in everyone tighten during a close game, and buzzer beaters are priceless moments that money can’t buy. Don’t miss out on a high school basketball game; it’s definitely a good bang for your buck. You could possibly miss out on an opportunity to catch a great NBA player in the beginning of his greatness. With players such as: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Robert Swift and DeShawn Stevenson going to the NBA straight from high school, there is no doubt that some of the talent in the valley is “NBA ready”.

The 2014 Clovis Elks Classic has been going on this weekend at Clovis High School, but the big games begin Monday and Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. with the last game starting at 8 p.m. on both days. Tournaments are the true definition of total non-stop action; try to check a game out in you can!
