CSN Bay Area profiled BORP athlete James Bohnett in their Wells Fargo Athlete of the Week series. Since the piece was filmed, James, a senior at Del Mar High School in San Jose, has decided to attend the University of Missouri starting this fall on a full wheelchair basketball scholarship. Congratulations to James and his family!

Soccer Fun!

Posted on: April 30, 2013 11:48 am By: paul

Hey Everyone,

Today was a wonderful day of soccer across the board, not just for BORP Crushers and Earthquakes but the Hollister Free Wheelers and the San Jose Rockets. All the teams have clearly focused on their passing and teamwork and exciting, attacking end-to-end play was on display in every game. I didn’t want the day to end and can’t wait for our next games in June.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and especially Chris Finn for hosting my Birthday Poker Slam ($1,000!) and organizing the big group “Happy Birthday to You” singing at the games. So far being 60 is pretty cool!

Both Jake and Milo’s families have started on-line fundraising campaigns to support their potential participation.
