The passes, the cuts, the steals, the rebounds and, yes, the stamina were all exciting to watch. Everyone contributed and stayed poised throughout the game. Unquowa would press hard with 2 minutes left in the game and converted 2 steals to come within a basket. Congratulations Jackson, Jae, Alex, Michael, Conner, Siddharth, Christopher, Carson, Patrick, Derek and Devin for executing another excellent game!

The Boys’ White Varsity Team played a strong game against Greens Farms Academy. They lost a tough one but completed many skills well. They played the first half of the game man to man and executed motion offense perfectly. They set perfect picks that would position them to become competitive against a taller team.

Justin took on the toughest offensive opponent and helped to keep the score within reach.  Sisso scrambled for every ball and scored a buzzer shot at the end, while Paul, Taylor and Jace worked hard on defense.

They did well to pass and cut throughout the game and were defensively able to keep the score within reach. Height would eventually conquer speed as we worked hard for every rebound.

Go Gators!

Boys Varsity White Basketball Season began with a huge lesson learned against The King School. We learned that a victory must have as much grace and dignity as a loss. The love of the game should trump any score at any time, and at the end what feels best is the way we respect the passion for any sport as we develop skills. This will be an easy lesson for our Boys Varsity Basketball Team. They are committed to the sport and did many things instinctively well that will carry them through a successful season. The opportunity to improve our winning grace is always up to the coach.  Keeping a positive light on our accomplished athletes is the best and easiest part of a coach’s job. So let the light shine on Patrick who floats a shot with such skill, on Jonathan who set great picks during the game, on Ian who establishes the offense motion like no other, on Danny who leads his peers effortlessly, on Justin and Paul who rebound with a purpose, on Sisso who is relentless on defense and Michael, Taylor and Michael B who bring immeasurable enthusiasm to the game.
