Congrats to our Knights Class of 2026 Jake Vander Veen for being named as Most Valuable Player to the 2026 Trans Valley League 🏀 All-League selection list. Jake has been named to the TVL’s All-League list for the 3rd time in his HS career in his 4th varsity season (3rd with the Knights). Jake has also been named as TVL MVP for a 2nd season in a row

During the 2025-26 season, the 6’3” Jake averaged 20.4 points on 48.8% shooting, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, & 1.2 steals. Jake was a dynamic & prolific performer for the Knights who routinely scored in bunches and led his team in scoring on almost every night. Jake’s ability to score from all over the court made him nearly impossible to defend while using elite footwork w/ crafty finishes at the rim, pulling up from midrange for a 2 or knocking down 3FG’s. Jake was the ultimate offensive machine for the Knights as he finishes his HS career with over 1,700 career points scored and as one of the Knights’ all-time leading scorers. On the defensive side, Jake was a high-level defender. Jake’s strong effort on defense was evidenced by his 1.2 steals/game.

Jake led the TVL in scoring by a wide margin as he scored at least 14 points in all 12 league games plus scored in double-figures in all 29 games played this season

Congrats to Jake for his individual recognition of an excellent 🏀 season!

Congrats to our Knights Class of 2026 Amos Cady for being named as First Team All-League to the 2026 Trans Valley League 🏀 All-League selection list. Amos has been named to the TVL’s All-League list for the 3rd time in his HS career as he was also named as Most Outstanding Player last year as a junior and named Honorable Mention 2 years ago

During the 2025-26 season, the 6’2” Amos averaged 13.0 points on 43.1% shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists & 2.8 steals per game. Amos was a very dynamic player in his 3rd varsity season for the Knights as he ran the team from the point guard position. Amos routinely filled up the stat sheet w/ points, rebs, assists, & steals while flirting w/ triple-doubles on a nightly basis. Amos finished as the Knights’ top assist man & 2nd leading scorer. Amos’ top-level speed allowed him to get out in transition & find teammates for open shots evidenced by his 6.5 assists/gm. Amos was also an elite rebounder from the guard position evidenced by his 6.8 rebs/gm which was 2nd on the team. On the defensive side of the ball, Amos was one of the Knights’ top defenders. Amos registered a team-leading 2.8 steals/gm to go along w/ many more pass deflections in the halfcourt

Some of Amos’ best overall performances came in a TVL road game at Hilmar HS on 1/7 where Amos registered a triple-double w/ 10 pts,11 rebs, 12 assists & 4 steals in a 69-56 road win. Amos scored a season-high 21 points, grabbed 6 rebounds & dished 5 assists in a pivotal 63-62 home victory vs Sonora HS on 2/13 to clinch the outright TVL title. Amos also put up 18 points, 8 rebounds & 7 assists vs Escalon HS in a 70-51 home win on 1/20. Amos was able to register consistent double-figure scoring in 11 of 12 TVL games played

During the 2025-26 season, the lefty 6’4” Chase averaged 9.4 points on 61.7% shooting from the floor, 7.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals & 0.7 steals per game. Chase was a staple in the Knights starting lineup & provided great play in his 2nd full varsity season. Chase’s overall inside-outside skills coupled with his size & length allowed him to play with his back to the basket & provide interior offense close to the bucket, drive the lane to score facing the basket, or spot up on the perimeter for an open 3FG make. Chase also rebounded well evidenced by his 7.1 rebounds which was tops on the team. Additionally Chase utilized his great length on the defensive end for a blocked shot or a pass deflection for a steal

One of Chase’s best overall 2025-26 season performances came in a huge January TVL road win at Sonora HS. With the Knights exchanging punches with 2nd place Sonora, Chase scored 6 straight points in the 2H en route to a season-high 15 points on 6-7 shooting from the floor including 2-3 from 3FG range to go along w/ 7 rebounds to help lead the Knights to a crucial 62-58 victory. Chase also scored 14 points & grabbed 10 rebounds plus dished 4 assists in a 58-49 win over Downey HS in December . Chase also hit double-figures in scoring 13 times this past season plus recorded 8 double-doubles including 3 of them in the Ron Peterson Riverbank Tournament while being named to the All-Tourney team

Chase was an integral part of the Knights success throughout this Trans Valley League championship 🏆 season and was a huge reason why the Knights finished as TVL 🏆 champions for a 6th season in a row, were winners of 8 games in a row plus 10 of 11 games at one point plus reached the CIF-SacJoaquin Section Division 4 🏆 Playoffs

Congrats to our Knights Class of 2026 Mason Tameling for being named as First Team All-League to the 2026 Trans Valley League 🏀 All-League selection list.

Mason finished as one the Knights’ top outside shooters w/ a total of 53 makes behind the 3-point line across only 23 games played due to injury. Over the course of Mason’s 3-year varsity career, he earned the reputation for being a consistent shooter & an elite perimeter scorer. When his defender was forced to help off to another Knights’ player, Mason’s ability to score behind the 3-point line was lethal. Mason was also a strong perimeter defender while racking up 2 steals per game using his elite quickness

Mason produced a top moment for the Knights this season. With the Knights trailing Hughson HS by 3 points late in the game on Homecoming Night, Mason received a pass in the corner & knocked down a buzzer-beater 3 pointer to send the game into OT in which the Knights eventually won. One of Mason’s best overall performances came in a February home game vs Division 1 opponent Heritage HS of Brentwood. Mason scored a season-high 15 points on 5 made 3FG’s on only 9 attempts plus added 7 rebounds & 3 assists in a huge 74-72 home win. Mason also helped lead an emotional win vs rival Ripon HS by scoring 14 points while connecting on 4 made 3FG’s in a 74-49 home victory. Mason recorded a double-double vs Hilmar HS by scoring 11 points & grabbing 10 rebounds in a 76-49 home win

Dylan was a dynamic player in his 1st full varsity season for the Knights and provided great play for the Knights whether it was as a starter or coming off the bench. Dylan’s size allowed him to be the recipient of teammate’s assists near the basket for an easy layup, grab an offensive rebound and score on a putback, or step out for an open 3-point jumper. Additionally Dylan utilized his great length on the defensive end for an impressive blocked shot or control the boards while corralling the opponent’s missed shots
