The school men basketball team is known as the Shockers. The team has been with The Valley since 1946, where they have won the regular season 6 times and the post-season tourney twice.

Throughout the team’s history in 1965 they reached the Final Four and in 1981 the Elite Eight and more recently in 2006 the Sweet Sixteen. They have had a total 8 bids to the tournament.

Coach Gregg Marshall is aware of the excess aptitude and power the team has, that’s the reason why he did not changed the line and kept it the same as the 2007-08 period.

Aiming for future championships and positions this 2008-09 season, coach Marshall brings few new faces, but is still focusing on making the backcourt much stronger.
