Peninsula JV Boys Basketball is Back!

The 2012-2013 Peninsula JV Boys Basketball Team Kicks off the new season at Westchester High School Tournament.

The Peninsula Boys JV Basketball Team is back in action, and this past week they participated in the Westchester Tip-Off Tournament.

The opening opponent for the newly re-vamped Panthers was Santa Monica High School. This was the first game for the Panthers, and their early jitters were understandable due to the addition of nine new players from last season's team.

The chemistry and style of play that the Panthers enjoyed last season is still a work in progress, and this season the Panthers hope to make up for their lack of height with heart and hustle.
