Pueblo High School boys’ basketball team held their Senior Night on Jan. 29<\/a> against Salpointe High School\u2014honoring six senior players and two managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head Coach Daryl Jones has been coaching at Pueblo for three years, so this group of seniors have been with him the longest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones said, \u201cI will for sure miss this year’s seniors! This is the most I’ve gotten to see my players grow due to me only having been here for three years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Pueblo fell short against Salpointe (56-49), but that did not change the celebration held after the game in honor of the seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior basketball Captain, Jorge Franco said, \u201cEven though I was stressed out at times during the game and throughout the season, it was also very exciting and an honor to be captain of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With plans to play basketball year-round with their own club team, Pueblo\u2019s boys\u2019 basketball team plans to grow during this time to have a thrilling season next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Co-Captain Jacob Maya said, \u201cI will most definitely miss playing games at Pueblo, as well as playing with my teammates. They’re like another family to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the six players congratulated during senior night, two managers, seniors Emely Villanueva and Alexis Vargas, also got to be a part of the commemoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the season progressed, I learned more about the sport,\u201d said Villanueva, \u201cand I am going to miss the team more than anything because they always had such great morale. Even after losing a game, they would still be happy about being able to play basketball as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
