The Men's Varsity B 2009-2010 basketball season has gotten off to a fast start. Under the direction of first year Head Coach, Michael Herring, the Royals are 8-1 overall, 5-0 in league contests, and won the 2009 Clark Invitiational Tournament. Its foundation of team chemistry is based on their experience & athleticism.
The team is led by four seniors:
- David Ortiz who has accepted the role to run the team as point guard
- Vito Gerardi who is an exceptional shooter that poses problems for most teams
- Ian Duff & Cameron Blain also bring great leadership & toughness as key reserves
There are 10 juniors who also bring hard work, commitment & togetherness everyday:
- Creshawn Jude who is arguably the team's best all-around player who does it all
- Malcolm Bettis who starts as the power forward who uses his size & quickness very well
- Chris Hartney is the team's big man in the middle as center who has really developed since the beginning of the season
- Rounding out the team is: Erickson Bryant (pg), Les Flagler (combo guard), David Lopez (combo guard), Jimmy Nolan (combo guard), Joe Torre (forward), Phil Mamby forward, & Joe Thompson (center).
The hard work this team puts forth everyday has not gone unnoticed. Varsity AA Head Coach, Joe Arbitello, stated: "This is one of the best Varsity B teams in a long time at Christ the King".
