“If I could put this season into one word, it would be “WOW!” What a terrific season! Despite the fact that we really had no “big man”, the team played with a tenacious and exciting defense which was apparent to everyone who saw them play. MS Principal Mr. Davis once stated that the team played defense like “fire ants”…they swarmed and annoyed their opponents with their constant “in your face” style of play. This was so apparent when our team played Wallington. In one of the most exciting games of the year, the team showed their determination and grit, and came away with a huge victory! Owen Lee ’29, Harry York ’29, Brandon Geller ’30, and the “K-Train” Kyle Swaby ’29 had the daunting task of covering the bigger players on the opposing teams, playing physical and tough under the boards. Austin Sorkin ’30 and Zeke Horowitz ’30 were magicians with their ball handling skills. T.J. Rose ’29 led our large group of guards with his strong drives to the hoop. Hudson Machuca ’29 and Ben Bahrampour ’29 were terrific shooters from outside the arc with Jalen Jeter-Martin ’29, Mateo Kartheiser ’30, Max Strashnov ’29, Greyson Alvarez ’29, and Ryan Shapiro ’29 letting their light shine on defense. Last but not least, Lucas Morales ’29 with his big smile and love for the game, was a big reason why our squad had such great team spirit! Like I said in the beginning, “WOW!” What a terrific and fun season! To all of our “Fire Ants”, thank you for a special season!”
