A time that was “so Crystal” was when our Girls Varsity Basketball team won CCS and made it to states, and how the whole community rallied around us and supported us on our journey to the NorCal finals! I’ll never forget when we were told we would have to travel five hours to play another team in the middle of a snowstorm after upsetting the 2nd ranked team in D5. However, the athletic department quickly devised a plan, and we ended up traveling through the snow to win the game! Even though most of our fans couldn’t be there, we still had support from parents and many at home who were watching the live stream and yelling at their computers whenever we shot a three or blocked a shot. Nevertheless, in the NorCal finals at our home gym, our fans showed up to support! Not only were their Crystal students, PAC, and parents, but grandparents, neighbors, friends, and colleagues came out to cheer us on. I can never forget when I walked onto the court to tip off the ball and saw how packed the gym was (they even had to bring in two extra bleachers to fit all the fans). People I had never met were cheering for me, yelling, “GO CRYSTAL,” and clapping! It was incredible to see, and later, I thought how lucky I was to experience that encouragement from our Crystal community!
