As the season is approaching the Play Offs, our AAA squad has been on fire and seems to be catching form in the right time. In an extremely competitive NEPSAC AAA conference, where one game could determine home court advantage, getting in a hot streak in the right time could boost our team’s chances to fight for the title.
In the past 10 days, Bridgton Academy, Vermont Academy, South Kent school and Darrow school all fell short against our top team. We’ve witnessed our players fight back from being down 20 points, to securely controlling the game in these wins. Showcasing resilience, discipline and great basketball, all qualities needed for a team to reach the final goal, competing for a NEPSAC title, and potentially in the National Prep Championship.
Our conference has been regarding as one of the best and the most competitive in the nation. Two days ago, 2 games were the difference between the second and seventh spot. Today 3 teams are tied for the second spot, ours being one of them. Teams that get to play the first play off game at home increase their chances significantly to get in the semifinals and finals. Teams that hit the right buttons in the right time, players that hit their peak performance in late February can sure make a lot of noise. We are excited to see what’s next for our team and see how they square up on Saturday when we travel to New Hampton and keep our run alive.
