Jose Maldonado

Jose Maldonado is a 13 year old student at St Ambrose Middle School. He was starting point guard on their basketball team which won the Catholic School City Championship this past year. In addition he represented St. Ambrose as a member of their volleyball and track and field teams.

As a 12 year old, Jose won the A division of the 2013 USHA Junior National Four-Wall 13 and under division. In 2012 he placed second in the 11 and under division. This all-around athlete has made rapid improvements in his game. At the recent USHA Hall of Fame Tournament in Tucson he defeated several opponents by winning the Men’s C division.

Jose will be doing a lot of traveling this summer as he competes in the State Championships in Flagstaff July 11-13. The following week he will make the trek to Boulder, Colorado with his Tucson buddies in an attempt to win the 13 and under division at the USHA Junior National Three-Wall Tournament.

Keep your eye on this rising star as he continues to shine brightly.
