Dos Pueblos High School captured the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) AAA basketball title on March 13,1971, with a 49-40 victory over Bellflower.
As one of the student managers, along with Paul Yarbrough, as well as the sports editor of the school newspaper "The Charger Account," I had a unique perspective from which to view this championship team.
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the championship
win over Bellflower at the L.A. Sports Arena, I have attempted to
collect the thoughts of the players. Their recollections give
some insight into the team chemistry that produced a memorable
basketball season.
