BOYS BASKETBALL

Led by seniors Leland Coleman ’23 and Luke Fisher ’23, boys basketball returned to the postseason for the first time since the 2019-20 season. Although the season ended with a loss to Bishop Ireton in the first round of the state tournament, the culture and energy in the Estes Athletic Center was felt in every home game, but especially those against local rivals (St. Christopher’s, Benedictine and Collegiate), against which the Titans went 6-2 against this season. The boys posted a 16-11 (5-5 Prep League) record and finished 3rd in the league, a vast improvement from second-year head coach Andrew Blazar’s squad from last year's five-win campaign.

Coleman, who led the team in field goal percentage (52%), along with the arrival of Davion Brown ’26, enabled the Titans offense to flow with tempo and quickly retreat back on defense. Alex Chaikin ’24 set a high bar by shooting nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc and nailing over 80 percent of his free throws.

Transfers Trey Coles ’24 and Mason Patrick ’25 made an immediate impact on the season, combining to play in more than 50 games, helping spark the Titans’ turnaround. Their leadership and playing minutes will be critical going into next year with six seniors graduating in 2023.

“The returners are excited to continue to improve and build on the 11-win improvement from the previous year,” Blazar said. “This year, winning the Travis Tournament in convincing fashion was the turning point of our season. We’re going to continue to build the program and culture and work towards our goal which is to win the Prep League this coming season.”
