💙 Thank You, CYO Families! 🏀

Thank you to all the families who took time out of their busy schedules to attend and support our CYO kids. They had an amazing time watching the Varsity Girls and Boys take on Natalia and cheering them on.

Our CYO players are the future, and it was so special to see them supporting the teams they may one day play for.

A huge thank you as well to the Poteet High School coaches for allowing us to be part of the night and for all their help throughout the evening.

A GoFundMe has been created to help support the Alfaro family with funeral expenses following the passing of coach Mark Alfaro.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of our belo… Maryjo Arreola needs your support for Support for Mark Alfaro’s Family After Tragic Loss

01/23/2026

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of CYO coach Mark Alfaro, who lost his life last night.

Mark dedicated many years to coaching and mentoring our youth through CYO basketball and other youth sports in our community. Like so many coaches, he selflessly gave his time away from his own family to invest in our children, leaving a lasting impact that will never be forgotten.

In a close knit community like ours, this loss is felt deeply by players, families, fellow coaches, and friends. We ask that you take a moment to reflect on the lives Mark touched, especially the children he coached and to keep his wife Jackie, children & family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Please join us in lifting up prayers for the Alfaro family. Rest in peace, Mark. May our Lord and Savior welcome you into His kingdom with open arms. 🙏🤍
