The Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic School\u2019s boys varsity basketball team recently concluded a historic season, going 21-2 and winning a Catholic Youth Organization Mountain East Conference championship under the leadership of head coach Matthew Moffitt and assistant coach Erik Villavicencio.<\/p>\n
The Raiders poured in more than 1,120 points, averaging 51 points per game while allowing just 27. Their 21-2 record, total points scored, and point differential are all new school records. The team\u2019s season ended February 28 with 52-38 loss to St. Monica Prep at the CYO Open Division tournament at Salesian High School in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The season\u2019s tone was set early when the Raiders won the Cantwell Sacred Heart Tournament in December 2025. The team then swept their bracket to win the third annual OLA Classic Tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis group of young men showed a level of discipline and grit that was evident from our first practice,\u201d Moffitt said. \u201cWinning those two tournaments early on gave us the momentum we needed to face a grueling conference schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
That momentum carried the team into conference play, where OLA dominated, finishing 9-0 and earning the Mountain East championship.<\/p>\n
On the perimeter, the team\u2019s floor generals Grayson Moffitt and Lucas Villavicencio dictated the pace, Anthony Cortez shone as its premier three-point shooter, and forward Mattias Arredondo\u2019s tough defense often proved to be the difference maker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Our Lady of the Assumption boys varsity basketball team recently concluded a historic season, going 21-2 and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-546965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
