| Roberto Fatjo was named head coach at Southwest
on February 24, 2014. Fatjo,
who played basketball for the Eagles (class of 2003), returned to his
alma mater in 2009-10 as a science teacher and served as the assistant
junior varsity coach before becoming head JV coach the following season.
He also assisted Moore with the varsity team. His final JV squad finished
with a 10-6 record, the most wins for a Southwest JV team since the 1995-96
squad went 11-7. The team took a nine-game winning streak into the season
finale, a controversial loss to Columbus. Fatjo's 2015-16 varsity team
finished 13-10, the first winning season for Southwest in six years and
only the sixth winning season in close to 50 years. The Eagles won both
regular season games against Columbus for the first time in 18 seasons.
The 41 point victory over iMater academy would have been a school record
for largest victory margin had it not been a preseason game. Other dominant
wins included 38 points over RR-Doral, 35 points over Coral Park, 29 points
over Killian and 21 points over Braddock. Fatjo has also been head varsity
coach of the Southwest boys cross-country team as well as the boys water
