Boys’ Basketball Boys’ varsity basketball had a great season, finishing 10-2 in their first year as a member of NEPSCA’s Class A league. The team earned a spot in the Class A tournament finals and finished with an overall record of 18-8. Entering the tournament as the #4 seed, the Tigers beat Belmont Hill 72-64 at home and earned a 68-61 victory in the semis against top-seeded Kent. After splitting regular season games with Williston, Suffield came up on the short end of a 61-58 game against them in the finals. This year’s team had seven members from the Class of 2015: Juwan Anderson, Sam Averbuck, Anthony Deni, Jack Kalmbach, Tucker Newman, Max Parks, and Christian Wilkins. Christian concluded his four-year Suffield basketball career with four tournament appearances, a New England title (in 2013), 1,100 points, and 734 rebounds.
Girls’ Basketball Head Coach Wayne Patterson returned to the sidelines this year, and seniors Jordyn Gonsor, Marysa Massoia, and Rebecca Fregonese helped lead a young team to a successful season. A convincing win against Choate and Jordyn Gonsor’s three-point buzzer beater to edge Hotchkiss highlighted the campaign. The Tigers’ future is bright with several returning players; Angela Vecchiarelli ’16, Kaitlyn Nigro ’16, Ally DiMauro ’17; and five freshmen: Bridget Carey, Bailey Hyland, Susannah Johnson, Lexi Mnich, and Kate Rookey.
