Coach Jalen Lake’s Leadership Marks Historic Moment for Men’s Basketball
Under the leadership of Head Coach Jalen Lake, Your Rancho Christian Men’s Basketball team has reached a historic milestone, completing Ivy League play with a dominant 70–45 home victory over Riverside Poly to finish a perfect 10–0 in league competition. This achievement marks the first undefeated Ivy League season in program history and reflects the high level of athleticism, preparation, and excellence that defines Rancho Christian Athletics.
Earlier in the week, the Eagles also secured the Ivy League Championship, adding another defining moment to an already remarkable season. While league play has concluded, the journey continues as the team turns its focus toward CIF playoffs.
Coach Lake’s leadership has been instrumental in building a culture rooted in discipline, unity, and a daily commitment to excellence. That culture is evident not only in the team’s on-court performance, but in the development of student-athletes who are growing as well-rounded, Christ-centered leaders prepared to compete at the highest level.
This milestone belongs to the players who committed daily to the process, the coaching staff who poured into their development, the families who supported every step of the journey, and the fans who showed up, believed, and created an incredible atmosphere. It is the result of intentional leadership and a program built over time.
A special THANK YOU to Head Coach Jalen Lake for his vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to excellence. This team is special, this season is special, and this historic moment will remain part of the Rancho Christian legacy as the Eagles continue their pursuit of excellence in CIF competition.
Congratulations, Eagles. 💙💛
