Boys Basketball: Notre Dame Looking Up

It wasn't so long ago the Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks boys basketball team and coach Bill Bedgood were among the top teams in the very competitive Mission League.

In fact, in 2007, Notre Dame was really good.

The last two seasons have been less than desired but things are looking good again at the Sherman Oaks campus.

Bedood is excited again and has some real nice young players to work with.

Jonathan Bell and Kennedy Edwards were freshman this past season and are expected to contribute a lot on the varsity in 2009-2010.

Bedgood is also high on three incoming freshman.

Ausar Madison, Antwon Johnson and Jahmel Taylor have been elementary and junior high standouts.

The trio is ready to make their mark at Notre Dame.

They already led St. Charles Middle School to championships in football and basketball this school year and want to do the same for Notre Dame.

Bedgood couldn't be more pleased.

"I think these guys can come in here and really leave a mark," Bedgood said. "they are very talented and we are looking forward to great things."
