Salinas Sports Hall of Fame

Cork Haddan

Cork Haddan coached the dynamic Alisal High varsity boys basketball teams of 1970 (27-3), 1971 (26-5) and 1972 (28-2). The Trojans made it to the championship game of the Central Coast Section all three years during a time when the tourney was open to league champions only.  Alisal was the only public school basketball team to play in three consecutive CCS championship games until Burlingame did it 31 years later. The 1971 Alisal squad became the first from Monterey County to win a CCS title in any sport.
