Athletics

Basketball

The Valley Torah Wolfpack won the 2011 Division 6AA CIF basketball championship, becoming the first Jewish school in Southern California to ever earn a CIF title, and the only orthodox Jewish school to do so.[3]

The Wolfpack have also won three national Jewish tournaments: Memphis Cooper,[4] Glouberman,[5] and the Red Sarachek Tournament at Yeshiva University. [6] They are the only Jewish school to accomplish all three feats.

Ryan Turell attended and played as a shooting guard on the varsity basketball team at the school.[7][8] Playing for the high school, as a junior in 2016-17 he averaged 25.3 points per game, and as a senior in 2017-18 he averaged 34.3 points per game.[9] In 2018, he received a McDonald's All-American Game nomination, and was California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division IV State Player of the Year and First Team Division IV.[8][10]
