Born in Portland, Oregon, Saaeed El-Assadi moved here in 2005. As #13 on the CMHS Basketball varsity team, he has been named the Athlete of the Month for February for the hard work and dedication that he has put into the program.
Currently a senior, Saaeed plans to go to Orange Coast College or Golden West College after he graduates from high school in 2012. He is captain along with Nick Dawson of the Boy’s varsity Basketball team at CMHS.
El-Assadi says he says he loves playing Basketball and hanging out with friends at CMHS, whenever he isn't out on the court.
When asked about his thoughts about receiving the athlete of the month award Saaeed said, in a humble tone, “It’s an honor, but I thought it could have gone to one of my other teammates.”
Saaeed stated that what made him receive this award was all due to hard work, not necessarily being any better than anyone else on his team. “I just work hard, I am not very talented or athletic, I just work hard.”
Although, some people who see him play would argue that he is a great Basketball player, such as his coach and teammates, as would the 149 points that he has scored this season El-Assadi did not let this recognition get to his head.

When asked about Saaeed his coach, Bryan Rice, said, “Saaeed is probably the most solid kid we have in our program as far as keeping things even, making sure we are doing what we want on the floor. He gets upset on offense and upset on defense and to have someone like that makes the rest of our guys play a little harder because they know they have someone there to help them out. Saaeed is a very good high school player and a great kid and works just as hard as anybody and we wouldn’t be the same program without him. We wouldn’t have nineteen wins, the best record in our school’s history, without him.”
His coach seems to believe that Saaeed has committed more than enough to deserve the title of athlete of the month.
