The HCS Boy's Varsity basketball team finished 11-9 in a tough challenging summer league in 2003 in preparation to win the Agape League in 2003-2004 and challenge Rolling Hills Prep for the Div VAA championship.
The HCS teams had a challenging and exciting 2002-2003 season. The Patriots ended 19-8 (8-2)(2-1). This year HCS Varsity Boys should be ranked in the top five for all Div VAA teams in Socal. The Pollon poll has HCS ranked #7 in Div VAA. The final CIF poll of 2-10-04 has HCS at #6 in Div VAA.
They finished in second place in 2002-2003 in the Agape League, one of the toughest leagues in Div V in the Southern Section of CIF. They were 8-2 in league and 19-8 overall. They lost only 3 games in the first half of 2003 (two to Apple Valley Christian and one to Rolling Hills Prep). The varsity returns three starters from last year's CIF quarterfinalist team, Trevor Wagstaffe, Josh Hamilton and Loren Barton.
In 2002-2003 HCS got to the quarterfinals of the CIF Div VAA playoffs, beating AAE and La Sierra Academy before losing to Rolling Hills Prep 91-75.
In 2001-2002 HCS got to the quarterfinals of the CIF Div VA playoffs, beating Westview and Baptist Christian, Hemet before losing to Price 113-49. Congratulations Patriots on a great three seasons!
With effort and heart, HCS finally beat Apple Valley Christian in a league game for the first time since 2000. It was Zach Howard who made the game-winnning shot with .2 seconds left on the clock in overtime to give HCS the hard fought victory.
CIF announced that Hesperia Christian Varsity Boy's Basketball team finished #3 scholastically in the entire state of California for ALL high schools for the 2001-2002 season. They came in third with a 3.57 GPA. Only Harvard Westlake and Calvary Chapel Santa Ana finished higher. Congratulations Patriots on a great honor!!!!
In 2002-2003 HCS apparently did not place at all in Southern California. The lowest team was ML King with a 2.9 team GPA. So either HCS has a lower GPA than that or there was an administrative error by either HCS or CIF. It is believed that HCS Boy's had a GPA somewhere in the vicinity of 3.5 to 3.6 which would have placed them near Big Bear who led all Southern California with a 3.6 GPA.
Congratulations to Linda Gordon for developing an award-winning pep band for HCS. The band played The Star Spangled Banner at the Southern California girls semifinals better than any band in Socal!
