They embraced that role and finished a perfect season with the CA Community College State Championship.

    Fresno City College Head Coach, Paul Keysaw was quick to sing the praises of his team. "All year we have felt the pressure of being the front runner, with the bulls-eye on our back. This team rose to the occasion and have been an absolute joy to coach." Key to their success has been Fresno City's coaching staff. "These coaches have done everything I have asked for -- and then some. We share a common philosophy and I'm proud to have such an outstanding staff."
