The Rams basketball team, led by Seniors Kamaury Washington and Eric Bonales, had quite the year. During their regular season, they had a 5-7 record, but towards the end of the season and through CIF they gained an eight-game win streak until the quarterfinals against Highland. Unfortunately, they did not make it to the CIF finals due to a five-point loss against Dana Hills on Feb. 22, 2022.
They had a rough start this season due to COVID and other “off-court things” according to the coach, Cutis Boyer. “They hit a stride and continued to make an eight-game win streak,” says Boyer.
You can hear coach Boyer talk more about his team on an episode of the 562’s podcast.
“We have a really good team and are finally hitting our goals now that we set before the season started,” said Boyer. “I’m very proud of how the guys progressed as individuals and as a team to hit these goals.”
Although the team did not make the CIF finals, they still made it to the State championship. Their first game was on Tuesday, March 01, 2022. All future game schedules and scores will be available to see on Maxpreps. Wish the Rams good luck!

Dear Corydon Editor,
In Issue 5/2022 (published on March 1, 2022), Alma Perez spoke about the Millikan Basketball team and how far they have gotten this year. They went through CIF and they had a winning streak until they lost to Dana Point by 5 points. I have been to every single game and seen all the players get better. We won the first CIF game to a team that was 21-0 and have won every single game but we beat them. At first we didn’t win a lot of games in the season but by the end we made the CIF. We started a winning streak when we got to CIF until we lost against Dana Point. We ended up making state and made it to the semi-finals. We lost the game on March 5th. It was very sad seeing all the senior players upset since it was their last game in high school. Boyer says “We have a really good team and are finally hitting our goals now that we set before the season.” Boyer also said “I’m very proud of how the guys progressed as individuals and as a team to hit these goals.” We are all very proud of this team and how far they got. I can’t wait to see what the seniors do in their future.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Lawrence, Grade 11
