Seven Caxys Sign on the Dotted Line for Division I Athletics
Winter Sports Round-Up 2016
Boys Varsity Basketball 12-8: We came into the year with a lot of change. Chris Harris ’17 and Daniel Joseph ’16 were the only returning players. They led the team as the most experienced players and leading scorers, with Chris averaging 19 points a game and Daniel averaging 16 points a game. The season started off slow and couple of games slipped through our fingers, but the boys kept practicing and developing the team’s chemistry. Tyler Grumhaus ’17 became one of our best players, while Austin Clamage ’17 and Brandon Simberg ’18 stepped up multiple times throughout the season to score crucial points. Three Caxy athletes signed their National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, November 11, 2015. Caroline Miller, who will play field hockey at American University; Tessy Onwuka, who will play basketball for SUNY at Buffalo; and Lexi Silver, who will play field hockey for the University of Maryland. On February 3, 2016, four more members of the class of 2016 signed National Letters of Intent to continue their athletic careers at Div. I schools next year. Congratulations are in order for Lydia Brosnahan, Purdue University, Soccer; Julia Gillette, Stanford University, Squash; Daniel Joseph, Penn State University, Football; and Thomas Schaffer, Stanford University, Football. In the next issue of the Review, we will have more information about students who plan to play at the Div. III level in 2016-17. (Top) Standing: Daniel Joseph.

One of our biggest highlights was going to St. Catherine’s, Canada over the January 9th weekend to participate in the Ridley College tournament. We played four games and ended up finishing second out of twelve teams. The boys fought hard in the finals but lost a really close game. The trip was a great chance for the team to come together and bond. We won the last four games, ending the season on a high note. We hope to continue that momentum next year, especially since we have a lot of great players with potential. —Coach Matt Vaughn
