On a warm summer morning in Silver Creek High School's gym, 8 teams kicked off the most epic basketball tournament on the planet…
The players gave their all, diving after loose balls, blocking shots, making free throws. Digging deep to push past exhaustion and playing as a team. But when the final buzzer sounded after two days of intense action,
Metro San Jose emerged victorious!
Metro San Jose basketball team, winner's of the inaugural Creighton Lane Summer Classic!
Congratulations Metro San Jose for your amazing play!
But the players weren't the only winners that weekend. The Foundation was able to realize a dream in putting on a tournament in honor of Creighton, our forever angel.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without your help, and the help of some very special people who pulled out all the stops to make this event a success. We'd like to take a moment to thank Wade Nakamura, Sonny Flores, Silver Creek High School and the SCHS parents, and the Ninja parents for your help in seeing this event come to fruition. Thank you Curtis Russell for providing the referees, and Erroll Williams for always coming though with the t-shirts. Lastly, thank you to all the teams who participated:
- Oak Grove
- Evergreen
- Silver Creek
- Mission San Jose
- Belmont Ambush
- Metro San Jose
- Cupertino
- Piedmont Hills
And for the special appearance by the San Jose Ninjas and Metro San Jose JV girls teams. Thanks!
We look forward to seeing you all next year!
