lost to Saint Ignatius in Quarterfinals (63-49)
Team had an excellent season in which Danny Wallace again finished MVP of the league and in the top 5 in CCS in rebounding while Rad and Etterman did much of the team's scoring from beyond the 3 pt arc. The team swept the first half of league before stumbling on the road at Los Altos but finished with a tie for the league crown. Transition game and intense full court pressure kept the game scores high and made each game exciting. The squad also beat the alumni for the first time since 1992 in a game dedicated to Kathleen "Bean" Davey. Current Jobs, Basketball Pictures & Season Summary

lost to Pioneer in Quarterfinals (60-39)
Team had an excellent season, especially considering the offense lost from the previous season. For the second straight season they beat the alumni and during league play were projected third or fourth and provided the only legitimate competition to Cupertino who finished 11-1. The Falcons built on the momentum from the league season to win their first game in CCS play since 1999.

Team started out hot going 11-3 before the scoring(24.6ppg), rebounder(10.8rpg), and assist leader Bo Nielson went down with a broken ankle. The day after the injury, the team demonstrated they weren't done by again beating the alumni. Picking up the pieces, the team managed to go 5-7 in a tough A-League defeating Milpitas in double overtime the last game of league where Nielson returned to play at 80% nailing 6 free throws to ice the game.
