Girls Basketball

The girls basketball team began their season with a terrific start. They held a record of 15 wins and only 2 losses, one of which came last saturday. Then with less than 24 hours later they played Mount Vernon in the JFK tournament in the Bronx, and the Friars were looking to get back to their winning ways,and they certainly accomplished this by winning by more than 30 points. The final score was 82-50.
The Friars whose team is filled with depth, was led by Kerrin Maurer with 15 points, 12 assists and 5 steals. Micki Impellizeri also had 12 points and 6 rebounds. Kelly and Kimani Jackson each had 9 points in the game as well. At the half the Friars led by 43 to 28 going into the half.
Despite Mount Vernons size under the hoop the Friars still managed to penetrate their defense and make 26 lay ups. The Friars seized control early and maintained their control with ease for the remainder of the game.

Boys Basketball - Pajama night

Boys Varsity Basketball

SAHS vs. CHAMINADE

Every year, Saint Anthony’s High School hosts a boys Varsity Basketball
game, where many of the students dress in their favorite pajamas. The
Kickline and Varsity Cheerleaders dress in matching pajamas with their
partners, and they perform for the crowd.

As the game commenced, both teams started off strong. The first basket
for the Friars was made by #43, who shot off a perfect 3-pointer. #12 of
the Flyers also got a 3-pointer as well. Flyer #12 continued to show his 3
point skills, getting 3 in the game, with 2 in the first two quarters.
The Friars were leading in the first half with 33 points to the Flyer’s
24 points.

Going into the 4th quarter, the Friars were down by 4, with 47-43 Chaminade. With 4 minutes remaining the Friars were down again by 4,then our defense forced 2 crucial turnovers but unfortunately they were unable to capitalize.

Although the Friar’s fought hard, they lost most of their points due to
foul shots, either by the Flyer’s making them, or the Friars not making
them. Flyer #12 was also hard to guard, as his 3 point range was very
impressive.They recieved great support from the Friar Faithful and the stands.However,The Friars ended up losing the game,but look to improve as the
season continues.
