The entire team collectively contributed throughout the game. Our point guard, Evan Solomon, made the gamewinning basket with 3 seconds remaining in the game. The boys finished the season with a winning record of 12 wins and 5 losses. We finished with a league record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Our team had several exciting games versus Buckley, Fieldston, and St. David's. The boys worked hard throughout the season at improving their court savvy and fundamentals. They played with tremendous heart and determination in all games.
JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Cerrone, Coach Wynn Joseph Abadi, Richard Bryan, Jacob Caplan, Jesse Fastenberg, Sammy Fischer, Alessandro Giacometti, Carter Glatt, Henry Gonzalez, DeJhon Grandy, Miles Hill, Ryan Jada, Adam Kotin, Peter Lawson, Dimitri Mortsakis, Jeancarlo Sotomayor, Christopher vonTurk, Christopher Wayland, Alex Weiss, Alexander Selz With some difficult loses early in the season, a 27-24 win over Buckley lifted our spirits and enthusiasm. Overflowing with excitement, the boys were determined to finish the season with a strong showing. Unfortunately, the opposing boys from Horace Mann proved to be too big of a task for our boys to overcome and we fell by a score of 46-19. We would like to congratulate the boys on an impressive season of tenacity and strong will which allowed them to push themselves through the tough times of a losing season.
6TH GRADE BASKETBALL Coach Jennings, Coach Wiseman Alex Bartner, Oliver Beers, Max Coleman, J. Carr Gamble, David Gleaton, David Lawson, Andrew Leone, Jon Linen, Gil Lubkin, Robert Marston, Jeremy Mittleman, Vikram Nayyar, Nathaniel Pettit, Garrett Tongue, Jeremy Tucker The Sixth Grade boys finished their competitive season with two challenging games, one home and one away. It was clear to everyone present how far the boys had come since their first practice in November of last year. Each team (gold and blue) played tireless, determined, fundamentally organized basketball. Though the boys need to and will continue to develop the finer skills of the game, e.g., shot and pass faking, bounce-passing, posting up, helping out on defense, boxing out, etc., they worked hard this year to learn and to implement the basic, necessary concepts of two zone defenses, three zone offenses, and several in-bounds plays. Overall, the boys were eager to learn new techniques, refine skills they had previously been taught and put it all to practice during games. The boys' enthusiasm and good humor made this an enjoyable season.
