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.

The St. Anthony's Football Team Wins the CHSFL Championship Concluding a Perfect Undefeated Season!!!

Congratulations Friars on your Championship Victory over Iona Prep! With a score of 41-23, the Friars beat the Gaels on Saturday to win the Michael Cunnion Trophy as CHSFL Champions! Below is their article.

Phenomenal!!! An appropriate word to describe the Varsity Football Team’s undefeated 11-0 season. On Saturday, November 20th, the Friars beat the Iona Prep Gaels with a score of 41-23 in the CHSFL AAA Championship Game at Mitchell Stadium in Uniondale. When asked about his feelings before the game, quarterback, Charlie Raffa said, “ We’re excited! The goal is to score a lot of touchdowns and win big against Iona.” Coach Rich Reichert said to his players during practice, “The two key words to today’s game are to focus and finish. Don’t look by any team,” and the Friars definitely listened to his advice.
The game started out with a quick touchdown from a pass from quarterback, Charlie Raffa (#7), to star wide receiver, Brian Kensil (#14). After which, defensive backs, Tyler McLees (#33) and Tim Stackpole (#11) stopped two Iona drives to the end zone giving the ball back to our offense. Running back Joe LoCascio (#9) ran an astounding 30 yard sprint towards the end zone to set up a touchdown by Mike Schillizzi (#40) on the next play. With the score 13-6, Raffa set Kensil up for another two touchdowns, making the score 27-16. Going into the 2nd half, the Friars continued to show success through their defense players. Senior Jonathan Desir (#77) and Junior Durelle Napier (#38) quickly stopped the progression of the Gaels to allow Charlie Raffa to set up a play to Junior Brian Sherlock (#34). One of those plays spurred an incredible 63 yard pass from Raffa to Sherlock leading Sherlock to score an amazing touchdown, making the score 34-16.
The game ended with a 41-23 victory for the Friars, who held the coveted Michael Cunnion Memorial Trophy proudly at the end of the game and sang their team song. With a flawless undefeated season and a 2nd straight title, the team couldn’t be happier after their hard earned win. After the game, I asked Senior Joe LoCascio, what he thought of the results of this past season. He said, “ We’ve definitely exceeded our expectations and could not have asked for a better turnout.” Junior Brian Sherlock added after being asked how well the team did this season, “I think we did pretty well. We had great practices and a strong team. It was good Sheppy!” Definitely a true statement! This season has concluded excellently for the team and with all of the returning Juniors, next season will prove to be just as amazing! Go Friars!
