Friar Pep Rally

The St. Anthony’s Winter Pep Rally was wonderful. Once again St. Anthony's did a great job organizing the Pep Rally. The whole St Anthony’s student body was there to cheer on the winter teams and have fun. The Emcee, Cheerleaders, Kickline, and Step Team were all fantastic, but the Freshmen Basketball team was not to great considering the fact that they lost 10 to 0 to the teachers. I do not think that they were too happy about that. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors had fun chanting, “Stand Up Freshmen” and throwing whatever they could find at the freshmen on the floor. I was sitting on the floor and next to me there were three sophomores and through the whole Pep Rally they were complaining about how they should be on the bleacher. It was pretty funny to listen to them talk about how much there butt hurt. Anyway the 2011 Winter Pep Rally was great. I had fun and I am sure that everyone else had fun too. The Pep Rally got everyone psyched for the Hawaiian Night Varsity Basketball Game which the Friars Won 55 to 44 against Kellenberg. Go Friars!

Hawaiian Night

On Friday St.Anthony's held its Winter Pep Rally, and its theme was Hawaii. At 7:30, the Varsity Boys Basketball Team was playing Kellenberg at home. Similar to pajama night,the half time show was conducted by both some of the male students in conjunction with the cheerleaders.
At the end of the half the score was 22 all, and the Friars were playing strong. Going into the fourth quarter we were winning 29-27. Then with 6 minutes remaining we drew a couple of fouls which pushed our lead to 36-32. Then due to a steal by Kellenberg they had a 2 v 1 against the Friars Dan Pierrot, in which he somehow rejected the lay up and put the Friars back onto offense in which #32 knocked down a dagger 3 pointer. In the game #32 has been consistently knocking down 3's. He had over 12 points on the day, all of which came from 3 pointers. #33, Marko Peraica also had an excellent finish with more than 8 points with under 6 minutes left in the game.
The Friars ended up knocking off the Kellenberg Firebirds 55 to 44.

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.
