Bishop O'Dowd boys basketball made two statements late in June at Section 7.

For one, the Dragons are primed to go for the 2025-26 campaign. And two, they're going to play fast.

In an elite offseason tournament that usually has some lower final scores than the regular season, Bishop O'Dowd scored more than 70 points in three of its four wins en-route to a title in the Dorsey & Whitney LLP bracket.

The Dragons beat Red Mountain (AZ) 77-66, Cherry Creek (CO) 51-47, Arcadia (AZ) 75-45, and Heritage Christian (CA) 71-65 to win the division crown.

The rest of the bracket included more prominent programs: Pacifica Christian (Newport Beach, CA), St. Anthony (CA), Legacy (NV), Santa Fe Christian (CA), Viewmont (UT), San Marcos (CA), Loyola (CA), Dysart (AZ), Sandia (NM), Temecula Valley (CA), Cherry Creek (CO), and Red Mountain (AZ).
