Boys Basketball

The boys basketball season has been a wild ride and full of exicitment so far. The boys have 2 games remaining on their schedule. The second to last game is scheduled for Tuesday February 9th against the Briarcliff B team, at home. The last game of the season, with potentially the perfect record and the chance for a banner, will be on the line away at Pleasantville middle school against Pleasantville. The first time these two schools matched up, it took more than 5 quarters to get a winner and needed an overtime period. The game was down to the wire, but the Hawks managed to grind out the victory, by 2 points with a last second shot by Enrico. The Hawks have had a very successful season with already 10 wins, totaling more than they had last year, with 9. The final two games should be very exciting and the Hawks could have a chance to pull of these last two wins and have a banner to forever represent their hard work and success.

This season has not yet started but it is coming close and the boys seem to be on track for a successful year. The boys have over 20 kids this year and look to have lots of power off the bench and all around. With great perimeter shooters like the threeAustins, the team looks to have a strong outside game. Other shooters consist of Jason, Daniel and Malik. The team down low is very strong, equipped with strong rebounders and great scorers, with Javan, Timmy, Adam, Mike and Enrico. The power off the bench is amazing with so many kids available. Coach Downes' practices get the players ready for the season with good conditioning and scrimmages.
