Athletics

San Joaquin Memorial High School is part of the County/Metro Athletic Conference of the Central Section. SJM is known for its ability to attain high levels in many sports. The basketball team has attained many big accomplishments and has had numerous NBA players. Current Coach Brad Roznovsky has the program heading in the right direction again with talent up and down his roster. He looks to win the ever elusive state championship in 2018. The baseball team has always had the hard working approach led by the legendary Pete Dalena. Ever since his retirement the program has struggled to keep up the high level of play. Under 2nd year coach JD Salles and an influx of talent they look to get back to Valley Championship contenders in 2018. Football just came off of an impressive 2017 run to end its 14 year championship drought. With announcer JD Salles in the booth he really seemed to inject a new life into the program.
