"Rebranded as Brave Christian, the boys basketball program has surged into relevance behind a roster reshaped by improved talent and elevated by two international players from the Ivory Coast - freshman star JP Oka and sophomore Adama Kone - who have quickly become among the area's most intriguing talents. Driving the vision is coach Joe Fuca, a former executive at DocuSign and basketball architect intent on building more than a winning season."
"His goal is long-term and ambitious: Turn a small Christian school into a regional powerhouse. "We want to be a classic Christian school that you see on the I-680 corridor," Fuca said. "You're either going to go to Berean Christian or De La Salle, two great Christian schools. I feel like we can build our own little thing there in Dublin and have a really good success.""
Brave Christian Academy rebranded and dramatically improved its boys basketball program, assembling a deeper roster and attracting international talent from the Ivory Coast, including freshman JP Oka and sophomore Adama Kone. Coach Joe Fuca, a former DocuSign executive with deep basketball roots, took over to revive athletics and pursue a long-term goal of turning the small school into a regional powerhouse. The school enrolls under 200 students and fields 11 sports, with little basketball tradition before the recent surge. Fuca became involved in January after a pastor’s request, and his family background includes a son who won a Division I state championship in 2015.
