Congrats to Head Coach Cory Puopolo & the PJHS Boys Basketball team. Both won prestigious awards last night. The team won the 24-25 OC Basketball Officials Sportsmanship Award & Coach Puopolo won the Jim Taravella Memorial Award.
The award honors and is in memory of Mr. Taravella, a Monroe-Woodbury Boys Varsity Basketball coach, who passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 13, 2006.
It recognizes an Orange County boys varsity basketball coach who exemplifies the coaching qualities that Coach Taravella possessed, including dedication, sportsmanship, and compassion.
Coach Puopolo: thanks for showing your #PortPride on and off the floor. You do so much for so many student-athletes--Your PJ family appreciates it! #GoPORT!
