This season the boys team returns after last year’s 9 – 11 season. After a long and tiresome season the boys are ready to shock the crowd and become the dominating team in the league. This year the team returns seven players, only one being a senior. This year’s team has veteran captain Chris Sulda, and the newcomer Jeremiah Stowe as the only two seniors. This year the team expects to qualify for the MIAA tournament and take a run at becoming Western Mass Champions.

This year the team returns their leading scorers, Anthony Afflitto and Chris Sulda. The dynamic duo return this year bigger and stronger. Chris Sulda says, “This year the team looks more determined and more disciplined in all that we do.” This year the boys all seem to have a strong desire to go all the way. With the skill set, the dynamic players, and the team unity, the boys are all setting their sights on the games to come. This year the team will most likely be starting Chris Sulda, Anthony Afflitto, Corey Mortimer, Joey O’Connell, Nick Fitzgerald or Mat Sulda.

Game one comes against Pioneer on December 11. The team has less than a week to prepare for their well skilled adversary. The boys believe that this year they can really make it to the top. Now at the beginning of the season, the boys’ morale is high and the bonds are close. The new players are quickly breaking into the squad and finding their place on the team. This year we look forward to both of our basketball squads participating in the postseason.
