Chabot enjoys basketball sweep-over party

The Chabot College men’s and women’s basketball teams hosted a memorable sweep-over party on Friday, Feb. 7.

The Chabot men capped the doubleheader with a 63-53 triumph over Skyline in the Coast-North, improving to 15-9 overall with four games left in the regular season. The Gladiators, one of the state’s most improved programs, have clinched a winning record for the season under second-year head coach Keenan McMiller.

The Chabot women opened Friday’s action with a highly satisfying 62-50 win over Skyline, avenging a 56-52 road loss to Skyline on Jan. 15. The win came on the heels of a rousing 54-35 victory over City College of San Francisco on Jan. 31. Chabot (19-6, 5-2) enters the week in a three-way battle with Skyline and CCSF for the Coast-North title, each team with two defeats.

Nyah Willis paced the Chabot women against Skyline with 19 points, and Zakiya Mahoney had 17 points. Kayla Tahaafe added 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds.

Jabari Sweet paced the Chabot men with 15 points and seven rebounds against Skyline. Ramaj Gordon added 11 points and Isaiah Veal and Micah Webster both had 10 off the bench. Kyle Brown had eight points and eight boards. In an 80-76 win over visiting Canada on Feb. 5, Sweet and Skylar Robinson had double-doubles, Sweet with 22 points and 10 rebounds and Robinson with 18 points and 16 boards.

MORE WORK AHEAD: The Chabot men and women travel to district-rival Las Positas on Wednesday night in pursuit of season sweeps against the Hawks. The Chabot men are in fourth place in the conference with a 6-4 mark but only a game behind Las Positas and Foothill, both 7-3.

The Chabot women have three very winnable games left in the regular season.
