2000's
Derrick Craven ‘01 / Class of 2015
Boys’ basketball coach Doug Mitchell calls Derrick Craven ’01 “the toughest player I ever coached.” With the star-studded list of players Mitchell has coached, that quote alone might have been enough to induct Derrick into the Athletic Hall of Fame. But one look at his accomplishments on the court, and it is easy to see why he is being honored. In four years as a varsity player, Derrick helped lead the Knights to a record of 104-20, including 3 Del Rey League titles, and back-to-back CIF and State titles in 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. The state titles were the first in program history. A tremendous all-around player, Derrick scored over 1,500 points, pulled down over 500 rebounds, and dished out over 500 assists in his career at BMHS – believed to be one of only two or three players in school history to accomplish this feat. He accomplished these numbers while usually guarding the other team’s best player. As a sophomore, Derrick was named both 1st Team All-Del Rey League and 1st Team All-CIF after averaging 12.4 points a game. As a junior and senior, he was named co-Del Rey League MVP and co-CIF Player of the Year along with his brother, Errick. He also added some all-state hardware to his trophy case in his junior and senior years. As a junior, he was a 1st Team Division III and 1st Team All-Junior pick. As a senior, he was again named 1st Team Division III and Elite 2nd Team selection. Additionally, Derrick garnered Daily Breeze All-Area honors after his sophomore, junior and senior seasons and he was 2001 BMHS Male Co-Athlete of the Year. Following graduation, Derrick and his brother accepted scholarships to continue their playing careers at USC. In his four years at USC, Derrick played in 95 games and averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 assists per game. In 2003, he won the award as USC’s top defensive player. He graduated in 2005 with a degree in economics and in 2008, received his MBA from USC.
Errick Craven ‘01 / Class of 2015
Errick Craven ’01 began to make his mark in BMHS basketball history at the outset of his career. As a freshman in 1997-98, Errick scored 22 points in the Knights’ CIF Finals loss. As a sophomore, he averaged 18.2 points per game as the Knights made another CIF Finals appearance. As a junior, Errick, along with his brother, Derrick, helped the Knights break through and win the program’s first CIF title since 1967-68 and they followed that up with another CIF title as seniors. In all, Errick was a huge reason why, during his four years, the Knights won 3 Del Rey League titles, 2 CIF titles, and 2 state titles. By the time he graduated in 2001, Errick’s trophy case was overflowing. He was a 3-time Del Rey League MVP; a 3-time 1st Team All-CIF selection; 2-time CIF Player of the Year; the 2000-01 State Player of the Year; 3-time Daily Breeze All-Area selection, including twice being named Daily Breeze Player of the Year; 2-time John R. Wooden Division III High School Player of the Year; 2001 BMHS Male co-Athlete of the Year; and a 2000-01 All-American. His all-state selections include being named 1st Team Division III and 1st Team Sophomore in 1998-99; 1st Team Elite, 1st Team Division III and 1st Team Junior in 1999-00; and 1st Team Elite to go with his Division III player of the Year award in 2000-01. In all, he scored 2,113 points, a record that stood until this past season, and he is one of only three players in program history to score over 2,000 career points. After graduation, Errick, along with Derrick, continued his playing career at USC. In 105 games played for the Trojans, Errick averaged 11.0 points per game and ranks 2nd all-time at USC in single season steals (73) and career steals (224). In fact, he led the Pac-10 in steals in each of his first three years. As a freshman, Errick was named to the All-Pac-10 Freshman team and he finished his career as a member of USC’s 1000-point club. He graduated in 2005 with a degree in economics. After graduating from USC, Errick continued his playing career, playing professionally in the NBA-Development and all over the world, including in Turkey, Venezuela, and France. Errick, who obtained dual-citizenship in the Ivory Coast, also competed for the Ivorian Coast national basketball team.
Jamie Kamiya-Haagsma ‘00
From 2007-2022, Bishop Montgomery teams won 82 league titles, 6 CIF-SS titles and 2 state titles. Additionally, 3 CIF-SS individual titles were won. It was an incredible run of 15 years of athletic success. A large reason for much of that success can be credited to Jamie Kamiya-Haagsma, or Ms. Jamie as she was affectionately known by both athletes and coaches. Ms. Jamie served as Head Athletic Trainer during this time of great success, keeping athletes healthy, rehabbing injuries, and being present at every home contest. The number of athletic contests she presided over is entirely too many to count. During her tenure, she was one of Bishop’s most beloved employees. Ms. Jamie was an outstanding trainer, but even more importantly, she cared for the student-athletes with a kind heart. She truly loved the students of BMHS and she cared for them like they were her own children. Her training room was not only a place where student-athletes could go to get healthy, but a place where they could find someone to talk with. Ms. Jamie was part athletic trainer and part psychologist. She was always there to listen to the students. As a student at Bishop Montgomery, Ms. Jamie competed on the soccer and softball teams. Despite a somewhat injury-plagued career, she was a valuable member of the 1999-00 girls’ soccer team that won a league title and reached the CIF finals. Following the 2021-22 school year, she and her family moved to Idaho, but her impact on Bishop Montgomery athletics and the athletes and coaches she worked with will always be remembered as special.
Katie Olsovsky ‘00 / Class of 2015
For Katie Olsovsky ’00, it is not a matter of “if” she won an award in volleyball at Bishop Montgomery, it is, rather, how many times she won an award. As a 4-year varsity letter winner, she amassed an impressive list of individual accomplishments and led the girls’ volleyball program to many notable team accomplishments. She was a 4-time 1st Team All-Del Rey League selection and 3-time league MVP. She earned 1st Team All-CIF honors all four years, including player of the year honors as a junior and a senior. In fact, she is the only player in program history to be a 4-time All-CIF pick and one of four athletes in any sport at BMHS to be named All-CIF all four years. Olsovsky also earned Daily Breeze All-Area honors all four years and was the publication’s player of the year in 1999. To top it off, she was named an All-American at BMHS in 1998. While Olsovsky was collecting awards, so were the teams she played on at BMHS. She helped lead the Lady Knights to a pair of Del Rey League titles, three CIF titles (in 1996, 1998, and 1999) and two state titles (in 1996 and 1998). She also holds the BMHS career records for kills (1,512) and blocks (662). If all this was not impressive enough, she excelled academically at BMHS, making the Dean’s list every semester. When she was not helping the Lady Knights win championship banners, Olsovsky was competing for the United States. While at BMHS, she was a 4-year member of the USA Volleyball Youth National Team and in 2000, was selected for the Junior National Team. Upon graduation, Olsovsky was named 2000 BMHS Female Athlete of the Year before accepting a scholarship to play at USC. Topping those high school accomplishments would be a difficult task, but Olsovsky was up to the challenge in her four years at USC. At SC, she earned All-Pac 10 honors every year, including 1st team honors twice. She was also a 4-time AVCA All-Region selection, a 3-time NCAA Regional All-Tournament pick, and, in 2001, she was named All-American for the Trojans. Perhaps her greatest accomplishments at USC came in her junior and senior years, when she played a vital role in helping USC win back-to-back National Championships in 2002 and 2003. During those two years, she helped USC to an incredible record of 66-1. In the 2002 NCAA title match, Olsovsky led the Trojans with 16 kills, including the final point. Olsovsky finished her playing career among USC’s top 10 in 7 categories. From 2010-2014, she served as Director of Operations for USC’s Women’s Volleyball program and received a Master’s degree in Aging Services Management.
Noelle Quinn '03 / Class of 2013
There have been many outstanding student-athletes at Bishop Montgomery, but no one is more decorated than Noelle Quinn. As a member of the girls’ basketball team, Noelle led an already prestigious program to even newer heights. During her four years at BMHS, she led the Lady Knights to four Del Rey League titles, 3 CIF-SS titles (they lost in the finals her sophomore year), and four State titles. She was the Del Rey League MVP as a sophomore, junior, and senior, the CIF and State Player of the Year all four years and an All-American every year except as a freshman. Following both her junior and senior seasons, Noelle was named the Daily Breeze Player of the Year and the Los Angeles Times Player of the Year. She is the first girls' basketball player in CIF-SS history to be named CIF-SS Player of the Year four times. Following her senior season of 2002-03, Noelle was named the Gatorade California State Girls’ Player of the Year, an All-American by Parade Magazine, USA Today, Street & Smith’s Magazine, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and she earned McDonald’s All-American status.

She finished her basketball career at BMHS as the all-time scorer at 2,764 points. Her #45 was retired by the girls’ basketball program on January 30, 2007. Quinn was also a standout for the BMHS volleyball team. She helped lead the team to a CIF title as a freshman, 2 league titles (sophomore & junior) and a CIF finals appearance as a junior and was the Del Rey League MVP and a 1st Team All-CIF selection. In her senior year, the Lady Knights won both CIF and State titles and Noelle was named the CIF Player of the Year, 1st Team All-State, and the Daily Breeze Player of the Year. Perhaps most impressive about Noelle’s career at BMHS was that she was named a scholar-athlete all four years, carrying a GPA well over 4.0. Following graduation, Noelle accepted a scholarship to UCLA where she had an outstanding career. She finished her career ranked in the top 10 in fourteen different categories, including points (4th), rebounds (8th), and assists (7th). In fact, Noelle is the only UCLA player, male or female, to total at least 1,700 points, 700 rebounds, and 400 assists for a career. She earned 1st Team All-Pac-10 honors three times, was the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, and a 2-time honorable mention All-American. She was selected 4th overall in the 2007 WNBA Draft by Minnesota. She spent two years in Minnesota before being traded to her hometown Los Angeles Sparks, where she played for three seasons. She also played for the Phoenix Mercury and she had two stints with the Seattle Storm. She won a WNBA title in 2018 with the Storm, retiring after the season.

Chrissie Zartman ‘01 / Class of 2014
It is no surprise that Chrissie Zartman’s volleyball accomplishments are impressive. The sport has deep roots in her family. Her dad, Pat, is an accomplished volleyball coach, including serving as the women’s national team coach from 1970-74. Her mom, Sharkie, led the Lady Knights to the 1967 league championship before embarking on a playing career at UCLA where she was an All-American, a member of the school’s first National Championship team, and had her number 23 retired. Chrissie’s sister, Teri, led the Lady Knights to 2 CIF titles and 1 state championship and was named 1996 CIF Player of the Year and an All-American before heading off to an outstanding career at UC Irvine. Chrissie certainly did her part to add to the Zartman volleyball resume. A 4-year varsity starter at BMHS, Chrissie led the Lady Knights to the CIF Finals every year, winning titles in 1998 and 1999.

Mike Zuanich '04 / Class of 2019
Bishop Montgomery has produced some outstanding baseball players in its history. It can be argued that Mike Zuanich ‘04 is the best hitter ever to wear a Knights uniform. A three-year starter, Zuanich was a pitcher, first baseman and outfielder, but he excelled in the batter’s box. As a junior in 2003, Zuanich earned 1st Team All-Del Rey League honors and helped the Knights to the program’s first league title in 14 years after hitting an incredible .469 with 38 hits, 4 home runs and 30 RBI, all numbers in the top ten in school history. Amazingly, Zuanich turned in an even better year in 2004. As a senior, he broke the school record for single season batting average, a record that stood for over 40 years, when he hit an incredible .568. He also set new school records in hits (46), Doubles (14), Total Bases (69), and Slugging Percentage (.852) in helping the Knights to the CIF playoffs. Following the season, Zuanich was named Del Rey League MVP, 1st Team Daily Breeze All-Area, 1st Team All-CIF, and 1st Team Los Angeles Times All-South Bay. “Mike was certainly a great hitter, but his best qualities were that he was completely open to being coached and he was an outstanding teammate in every way,” says his head coach Andy Marafino. Following graduation, Zuanich played two years at El Camino and two at UC Santa Barbara. At UCSB, Zuanich earned 1st Team All-Big West Conference honors as a senior in 2008 after leading the conference with 14 home runs. In June of that year, Zuanich was taken in the 28th round of the draft by the Colorado Rockies. Zuanich played five seasons in the Rockies organization, earning 2011 California League All-Star honors before reaching AA. In 303 professional games, Zuanich hit .308 with 45 home runs.
