Xavier Prep basketball is first program to play games, thankful to tip-off season

Xavier Prep became the first local high school program to play basketball games this season.

The Saints hosted Aquinas on Tuesday night without fans in attendance. The boys team lost but the girls team won. Ultimately though, the entire program won because they got the chance to compete.

Just being thankful, honestly. Just being thankful for the opportunity to compete. Not a lot of people have it and just being the first team in the desert to compete and show that thankfulness with your energy and effort, said Thaddis Bosley, head coach of the boys and girls teams.

"It feels amazing. I just want to take this opportunity as a blessing because it can get taken away so we're going to make sure we go hard today," said Maliyah Bosley, Saints senior.

Xavier Prep is not affiliated with any local school district, thus giving them more freedom to conduct school and sports operations. However, DSUSD teams are on track to return, while PSUSD is expected to return after spring break.
