The DDS Varsity and JV basketball teams are very excited that their hard work during the last two weeks will finally be tested. This week the varsity has two games and the JV’s play one. All of the games are at home in the Bontecou Gym at 3:30, so please come and cheer for our teams. The varsity will face Trinity-Pawling on Monday and Kildonan on Thursday, while the JV’s will face Mizzentop on Friday.
This year the varsity is lead by Tri-Captains Griffin Wilson, Hudson Kuras, and Adam Baker. Joining the captains are fellow eighth graders Shriman Balasubramanian, Cooper Davis, and Austin Christensen. Danielle Stamer, Ben Poholchuk, Jackson Ryan, and Matthew Stapylton represent the seventh grade. Rounding out the team are sixth graders Christian Ouellette and Roan Gideon. They have all worked extremely hard to learn their playbook and have made great strides in a very short period of time.
The JV’s have been very active at the other end of the court running offensive and defensive drills and learning a great new pre-game warm-up routine. The team is made up of seventh graders Jon Hill, Sebastian Barry, and TJ Sayah. Joining them are fifth graders Taylor Digilio, Maggie Dull, Sean Gorwara, David and Nick Akst, Matthew Pelletier, Alex Quartararo, Nicholas Salnikoff, and Bernadette Winby.
The basketball program has also started a mentoring program this season. Varsity players have been assigned a younger player to act as their advisor and guide during the entire season. It is a great way for everyone to get to know each other better and become good teammates.
The teams look forward to your support and hope to see everyone at opening day.
