With an overall record
of 14-14, Cabrillo finished the season with a record of .500 or better
for the third-straight year. Despite
late season injuries, the Seahawks finished the season strong, winning
9 of their last 14 games. With a record of 7-5 in the very
competitive Coast Conference South, Cabrillo earned a
3rd-place finish behind only top-ranked West Valley College and #7 San
Jose City College. A season-ending ankle injury to point
guard Jeff Scott was a critical blow in the middle of conference play.
The Seahawks, who were tied for first place at the time of his injury,
were not able to maintain that same high level of play. Mike Scott,
Jon Fontenberry, and Aaron Patterson each earned All-Conference recognition.
Once again the Seahawks
were one of the best defensive teams in the state, ranking 7th out of
over 90 teams by allowing only 64.1 ppg. |

One of the Cabrillo basketball
program's best seasons in a long time ended with the Seahawks having
earned 17 victories, the most wins under Head Coach Tony Marcopulos.
Cabrillo's winning percentage has improved in each of the 5 seasons
with Coach Marcopulos at the helm. For the 2nd time in 3 years
the Cabrillo College Seahawks played their way into the NorCal Regional
finals before losing to top-ranked and eventual undefeated state champion
Fresno City College. The Seahawks finished the regular season ranked
#10 in Northern California and 20th in the state. Cabrillo finished
3rd in the extremely competitive Coast Conference South. |
|
For the first time in over a decade,
the Seahawks finished the season with a winning record, 14 wins against
13 losses. However, budget cuts reduced the state tournament field
from 64 participants statewide to only 32. The Seahawks would
have been the 17th seed in Northern California and were therefore not
included in the field. This was the first time in Marcopulos' tenure
that his team did not made the play-offs. |
|
The 2002-2003 season was a breakthrough
season for the Seahawks. For the first time in California State tournament
history, the 28th seed advanced to the Regional Final as the Seahawks
scored upset wins over 5th-seed Feather River College and 12th-seed
Skyline College. The Seahawks finished with an overall record of 15-18,
the most Cabrillo wins since 1985. Their 62-55 win over San Jose City
College was the first victory over that school since 1970. All
four sophomores continued their education and basketball careers at
four-year institutions. On the academic side, the team’s year-end
GPA was 3.1. |
|
For the first time in school history
the Seahawks made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. The 17 wins
in the last two seasons are more wins than the previous 5 seasons combined.
Myree Bowden, who was selected First team All-Conference, was the first
Cabrillo player to earn such honors in over 15 years. Bowden also
signed with the University of the Pacific, the first Cabrillo College
player to sign a Division 1 scholarship in over 25 years. |
|
In his first campaign as head
coach of the Seahawks, Coach Marcopulos was able to lead Cabrillo into
the playoffs for the first time since 1995. Cabrillo’s eight wins
equaled the total number of wins during the previous three seasons! |
