Hoops title for CCOP seventh-graders The Catholic Community of Pleasanton seventh-grade boys basketball team claimed the Tri-Valley CYO 7A Boys Champions title after its recent 42-22 win against St. Isidore. The teams split league games, giving CCOP its only loss during the regular season. After a slow start in the championship game, CCOP’s defensive pressure, ferocious rebounding and ball movement on offense gave CCOP a 21-7 lead at the half. St. Isidore threatened with a run at the end of the third quarter, but CCOP responded in the final period to extend the lead and secure the title. Celebrating are team members (l-r) KC Tompkins, Coach Matt Smith, Sam Novitske, Luke Valentine, Michael Smith (front-back) Anthony DelNevo, Paul Jackson, Mitch Lawrence, JT McDermott, Esteban Kovacs, Anthony Costello and Coach Ed Costello.

Suchland, who graduated from Foothill High School, is a backstroke and freestyle specialist at Las Positas. His athletic accomplishments include holding the team records in the 100 (53.32) and 200 (1:57.39) yard backstroke, and the 200 (1:52.21) and 500 (5:01.03) freestyle, as well as the fastest 100 yard freestyle (46.72) in a relay.
