Boys basketball works it out

Tuesday, October 13, 2020 1:00 AM

If you stop by the gym any day after school, you’ll see several basketball players working out. They’ve been at it for a couple of months. You might not recognize all of them because they’re wearing masks, but nothing slows down their moves.

Many of their masks feature the school colors, red and black. They also depict the PCHS mascot, the Mustang.
Varsity boys coach Jesse Canchola makes sure his players follow the NIAA rules, including health screens before workouts. “We don’t scrimmage, so there is no sort of body contact,” he says.
