Here’s what some local coaches are wishing for this holiday season:

Bryn Britton, Bishop Montgomery girls’ basketball: Potential. ‘My ulitmate wish is for each of my players to safely reach their potential -- and I think we’re on our way.’

Patrick Brown, Brentwood football: Have fun -- again. ‘We had such an enjoyable time together this season. So if I had one Christmas wish it would be for the kids to have a chance to experience that kind of fun again.’

John Braddell, Beverly Hills girls’ basketball: Beat Santa Monica. ‘Santa Monica has won the league the last few years and they’re the frontrunner again. So that’s a good Christmas wish. Let’s hope it comes true.’

Scott Altenberg, Gardena Serra football: Beat Oaks Christian. ‘Oaks Christian is the class of the division and we need to take the next step and beat them. We need to be ready and play next season.’
