Orlando Christian Prep’s fall sports are coming to an end, so it’s about time for our winter sports to begin. One of those sports is, of course, boys' basketball! OCP has a fine tradition of outstanding basketball, having just won two state championships in a row, along with several others in the past. The Warriors have also been home to some fine players. Nassir Little is currently playing division one basketball at the University of North Carolina, who are recent National Champions. As an OCP senior, Nassir played in both the McDonald’s All American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic Game, winning the MVP honor for each. Ronaldo Segu, another former Warrior, is playing division one ball for the University of Buffalo.
With the recent loss of seniors Nassir Little, Ronaldo Segu, Jordan Goodson, Dejuan Lockett, Jordan Rodriguez, and Kai Jones, along with several other players, many spots have opened up on our varsity basketball team, which is a great opportunity for students wanting to play basketball at OCP. Head Coach Treig Burke will be hosting tryouts on November 5th and 6th, from 5:30-7:00pm for all Juniors and Seniors, and 7:00-8:30pm for all Freshman and Sophomores.
Coach Thomas believes that this upcoming season will be a great one, with all the new students he’s met so far. And despite the fact that the players before them left big shoes to fill, he can’t wait for tryouts and is looking forward to coaching these new players this season, continuing OCP's great basketball legacy.
