The score was not kept considering the fact that it wasn’t an official game; however, the team played competitively throughout each quarter. They have a strong team this season and have been preparing all summer for the games that lie ahead. Sophomore and point guard Isaiah Dockery explained, “As the beginning of the season approaches, I expect us to start off strong and keep that momentum throughout the season. We have been in the gym almost everyday since June.” He continued, “Personally there is no off season for me because every day off is a day you fall behind the competition.” The head coach Aaron Chavez has a unique style of coaching according to the team. Dockery explained, “He is very firm and strict due to the fact that he was raised by very strict parents: a marine and a principal. Most of our guys have to spend time getting used to his style, but after a while they buy in and realize he cares for them by helping them achieve new levels so they can go on to a better school.” The team has great adaptability skills and when November approaches they plan to show up strong in game one. They are set to play their first game at Santa Barbara community college on Nov. 9 AMANDA HERNANDEZ/THE RIP Isaiah Dockery steals the ball and dribbles toward the basket AMANDA HERNANDEZ/THE RIP Eloy Medina scans the floor as he prepared for a pass.

Courtney Carter, alumni and donor relations coordinator at BC, stated that this event was the brainchild of the alumni. She said that the Bakersfield College Alumni Association wanted to get people back on campus after the COVID-19 pandemic, so they can see how funds from Measure J have transformed the campus while bringing community members out to campus.
