Ohlone College Men's Basketball Future Looks Bright
Ohlone College Men's Basketball finishes its first season under first year head coach Jordan Lee and his staff, making the State Playoffs with the #15 seed and finishing with an impressive 18-11 overall record. The Renegades' success was the biggest turnaround story in Norcal hoops and Coach Lee was named Signal The Light Norcal Coach of the Year.
In the State Rankings out of 100 colleges, the Renegades were #11 in Overall Defense, #9 in Steals, and #8 in 3 Point Makes. They also improved from #76 to #7 in State Rankings for Home Attendance, with huge support this year from the community. Ohlone was ranked in the CCCMBCA State Top 25 throughout the season.
The performance on the court resulted in four Coast-North All Conference individual awards. Sophomore guard Jayelen Jones was awarded First Team All Conference. Freshman guard Matt Villanueva was awarded Honorable Mention All Conference. Sophomore wing Josh Niusulu was awarded First Team All Conference as well as First Team All Defense.
"These young men earned it," says Coach Lee. "They poured so much into this program and built a palpable culture that resonated with the community. I've never been around a group that cared so deeply about their team; this journey together it was absolutely precious to them and for me."
The Renegades have already begun preparation for the 2023-2024 season. For all news and updates please follow us @OhloneMBB on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and continue to check the Ohlone Athletics webpage.
