"The name on the jersey is new, but the ambition running through Brave Christian Academy's gym feels anything but. On any given night in the west Dublin hills, the noise is sharper, the roster longer and the expectations louder than anyone remembers when the school was called Valley Christian-Dublin. What was once a small-school schedule filler has turned into one of the Bay Area's most interesting stories a team winning now, gathering talent boldly and thinking far bigger than its enrollment suggests."
"Rebranded as Brave Christian, the boys basketball program has surged into relevance behind a roster reshaped by improved talent and elevated by two international players from the Ivory Coast freshman star JP Oka and sophomore Adama Kone who have quickly become among the area's most intriguing talents. Driving the vision is coach Joe Fuca, a former executive at DocuSign and basketball architect intent on building more than a winning season."

On game nights the atmosphere is louder, the roster larger, and expectations higher than in prior years.
