The Cavers' squad this year is dominated by some talented seniors, and they also feature a couple of excellent juniors and even a few sophs coming up who will provide some added depth.   The Cavers are led by the senior backcourt of Frankie Calles (pictured right) and Drew Foster. Both were reserves on last year’s club but played some big minutes in crucial games. They also both enjoyed very good summers as well as strong Super 60 League campaigns (San Diego’s spring all-star league), and Calles played a strong summer at the Double Pump West Coast All-Stars and then played with the San Diego Alley Cats team.  

Foster (pictured left) is an explosive scorer who can ignite a team with his drives or outside shooting.  He is very strong and an excellent defender, a guy with the quickness to guard point guards and the strength to cover bigger players. Calles came into his own this off-season and is drawing some D-I interest, but will likely wait until spring to make a decision about college. He has consistently displayed an unselfish attitude to go along with his tenacious defense, and is a quality distributor and defender.

Randy Bland (left) and Shamar Shire (right) will be the post players for the Cavers this season and they complement each other well.  Bland is the Cavers’ top returning scorer (10.0 ppg) and can take over a game offensively, while Shire can be just as dominant defensively. Both players can step out and hit the "3" as well as score in the post effectively.  Shire is probably more well known in recruiting circles, having played at the Fullcourt Press Fall Hoops Showcase the past two years in a row, and this past September, he was impressive. He's always been somewhat lanky, but appears to have gotten stronger and more aggressive on the boards and in the paint. 

The key however for San Diego High School lies in their quality depth. The Cavers love to run and press, so fresh bodies are a necessity and fortunately that's where depth on the bench comes in. Seniors Bodeke Traylor (pictured right), Anthony Scott, and Nate Moore can all contribute on both ends of the floor and will battle for starting positions. Traylor and Moore both can shoot the ball with pretty good accuracy, while Scott is an explosive player around the basket as well as in transition.  Rodrekus Wright should also help in the post, while Brian Black, Roberto Guzman, and Kenny Simmons will battle for time in the backcourt.

While San Diego lost 2 starters from last year’s Eastern League Champions, they do return 8 players who played significant roles in that championship. The Cavers depth and experience coupled with their quality talent will make them the favorites to repeat as Eastern League Champions, but their focus will be on bringing a section title back to their home that is affectionately known as the "Cave".

Here's their 2000-2001 schedule:
