Opening with just a freshmen team in 2016-2017,  Portola Boys Basketball has worked to develop a program that the school and community can be proud of.  We believe that student athletics is an integral part of the total secondary educational program that provides experiences that help student athletes to acquire additional knowledge, skills and emotional patterns necessary as attributes of good citizenship.  We believe that playing basketball is a privilege, which carries with it responsibilities to the school, the student body, the family, the community and to the player himself.  A Portola Boys Basketball player should be held to a higher standard of excellence and that we should act, study and play with honor and pride.  Win or lose, we learn valuable life lessons through our hard work, dedication and understanding that we are a family.  

Portola Boys Basketball player has a "Dawgs gotta E.A.T." mentality.  

E= Effort
