I’D LIKE TO THANK COACH WOOD OF HILLCREST HIGH SCHOOL TROJANS IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA FOR SHARING THOUGHTS ON THE UPCOMING SEASON WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “HILLCREST WILL BE LOOKING TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH A NON-LEAGUE SCHEDULE THAT INCLUDES TOURNAMENTS AT ST. JOHN BOSCO, THE TARKANIAN CLASSIC IN LAS VEGAS, AND THE CLASSIC AT DAMIEN.  THE TROJANS HAVE SHOWCASE GAMES AT COLONY ON NOVEMBER 26TH, AT PASADENA CITY COLLEGE ON JANUARY 7TH, AND BACK AT COLONY FOR THE STATE PREVIEW ON JANUARY 21ST.  HILLCREST WILL RETURN SEVERAL PLAYERS, INCLUDING 7’1 DENNIS EVANS (2023), RUBEN SEVILLA (2023), MCKEL SHEDRICK (2025), AND NATE BOWDEN (2025).  I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE THE TALENT TO WIN A CIF CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR, BUT WE MUST COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM AND BUY INTO OUR ROLES.  COME CHECK US OUT!”
