By Charli Harshbarger Greetings from Van Nuys High School. After a close game against Cal State Northridge, the Knights came back defeating the Van Nuys faculty with a final score of 50-54 in favor of the Knights. Playing for the knights were Dejai and Romeo (Tha Goodfellas Power 106), Nana Gbewonyo (Coach Carter), Kiko Ellsworth, Cylk Cozart, Anthony Montgomery (Enterprise), DJ E-man (Power 106), Josh Henderson (Out There), Arlen Escarpeta (American Dreams) and Wesley Jonathan (What I Like About You). Supporting the Knights in the stands were Alisa Reyes, Jamie Elman (American Dreams), Vanessa Lengies (American Dreams), and Christine (General Hospital). Myra blew away the audience with the Star Spangled Banner and Remix rocked the house during halftime, dancing with audience members. During a 3rd/4th quarter time out, the Van Nuys dance team revved the audience up with their dance routine. The crowd was certainly one of the wildest I've ever seen over the players and the giveaways. Nana gave a beautiful dunk in the 3rd and when the faculty tried to bring down Josh, he recouped with several flips, thrilling the crowd. The Knights surprised Arlen with a special birthday song sung by Myra after the 3rd quarter.
