Jens-Uwe Gordon ’08 will be honored as part of the Salinas Valley Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2025, joining nine other inductees and one team. A standout power forward at North Salinas High, Gordon went on to play basketball at SCU and even trained with the San Antonio Spurs before enjoying a professional career overseas for the next two decades. Beyond his playing days, he left a lasting mark on local basketball by guiding Salinas to a Gabilan Division girls championship last winter as a coach. And, as a player in the 1980s, Gordon helped his team capture a Central Coast Section Division II boys basketball title.
