Youth basketball teams bring home first place trophies
Foothill Youth Basketball – a local league with about 300 players from Mountain View, Los Altos and Sunnyvale – sent a dozen of its teams to compete in a March Madness-style tournament against teams from across California.
Of those 12 teams, five came home with first place trophies:
- Third grade boys
- Fourth grade boys
- Seventh grade boys
- Fifth/sixth grade girls
- Third/fourth grade girls
With divisions for both boys and girls, Foothill Youth Basketball serves kids in third through eighth grade.
“Whether they were sinking buzzer-beaters or locking down defense, these young athletes represented our towns with pride,” Larry Melillo, Foothill Youth Basketball’s game day coordinator, wrote in an email to the Voice.

Leadership Mountain View accepts applications for next cohort
Leadership Mountain View is accepting applications for its nine month educational program that aims to help people who want to become leaders in the local community.
The program, which is open to anyone who lives or works in Mountain View, runs from September 2026 through May 2027, with full-day classes typically happening on the second or third Friday of each month. In addition to building leadership skills, participants will learn about city, county and state government; public safety; human and health services; sustainability; and education, according to LMV’s website.

I participated in Leadership Mountain View in 1992-93 and found it to be the key to a lot of connections and insights about our community. I continue to stay involved as an active alum and the program just keeps getting better. It evolves as our community evolves. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to make Mtn. View an even better place to live and work.
