The CGCC men's basketball team had an outstanding year, culminating with a berth into the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) West Region championship game against #1 ranked Pima Community College. The team finished the year with a 3.72 GPA in the classroom, earning the NJCAA National Academic Team of the Year honor for 2024-25 season. Head coach Steve Silsby and the team set lofty goals for winning on the court and in the classroom, and accomplished both throughout the season. The team finished with a 20-12 record, their third-consecutive 20-win season.
"This team was special in every great way, from the classroom to the court and in life," said Silsby. "These guys did the work, put in the time and earned this recognition. They never failed to work in every aspect of being a student-athlete."
"I am thankful that I was able to be around to support the effort they put together," said Director of Athletics Russell Luce. "They compete with the best I have ever seen."
