The town of Moraga and Mayor Roger Wykle declared April 10 as "2018-2019 Campolindo Boys Varsity Basketball Team Day" (see story on Page A11). Head coach Steven Dyer appreciated the recognition by the town: "It was a great event to honored by the town. It was a very positive experience for the guys to be in that city hall environment."
There were also individual honors for members of the team. Aiden Mahaney was named Cal Hi Sports Freshman Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Dyer was not surprised with the choice: "Aiden totally earned the award. He made the big shots and really picked things up defensively. His future is bright."
David Ahazie was named second team All-State for Division III by MaxPreps. "David really deserved it," said Dyer. "He was our leader on the court and he brought it every day in practice. He would guard the other team's best players and was our leading scorer and even fought through a hip injury during the playoffs."
MaxPreps also named Coach Dyer as the California Coach of the Year. Dyer appreciated what the award meant: "It's a real honor because there are so many talented coaches out there. I have to credit our players because if you don't win, none of these awards happen."
