Boys’ JV Basketball Continues to Battle

It’s been a unique season for the boys’ JV basketball team. With 16 players on the roster, the team is divided into three separate “squads,” with only two squads suiting up for each game. Despite the unusual format, the team has developed strong chemistry on the court and players have shown marked improvement in their individual skills. This past week, the team played hard against DCD and Rashi. On the road against DCD, Alexander Colangelo poured in a game-high 16 points while Quinn Foley’s aggressive defense spurred a Blue & Gold comeback. At home against Rashi, Issac Frehywot was hustling on both ends of the floor and classmate Noah Brauner did a great job handling the ball. The team will look to get back to their winning ways next week at home against Fenn.
