There was one thing uncommon taking place earlier than Thursday’s Metropolis Part Division II boys’ basketball playoff opener between Roybal and host Sherman Oaks CES. A feminine supervisor for Sherman Oaks CES was knitting on the bench.

“We keep calm right here,” coach Jennifer Crockett mentioned.

Equally uncommon was the sight of two ladies head coaches roaming the sidelines. It was a primary in Metropolis Part basketball playoff historical past — Crockett and Roybal’s Brooke Kalama — in command of their respective boys’ basketball groups.

A buddy had informed Crockett, “I hope you’re sporting the correct footwear with all that cup round,” referring to shattering a glass ceiling.

Followers from each side handled the ladies like they might any male coach — they yelled at every.

Roybal got here away with 67-59 victory. Jessie Lara and Yoni Tuells made key performs within the fourth quarter to assist Roybal come again from a 12-point second-quarter deficit.

Crockett, who has helped coach soccer at Sherman Oaks CES and was as soon as the women’ basketball coach, mentioned her gamers on the boys’ staff recruited her to be their head coach. She appreciated the second of two ladies teaching boys’ groups.

“It’s superior that ladies can take areas that males have been taking for years,” Crockett mentioned.
