BOYS BASKETBALL (2023-2024)

Slideshow Slaters Basketball: Rising to the Challenge
Andrew Cuzzolino and Daniel Miano
February 29, 2024

In a season of challenges and opportunities, the Slaters rose to the occasion, demonstrating drive in every game. Despite facing a tough lineup of opponents in the Colonial League, the youthful squad approached each contest with spirit and tenacity. Throughout the season, they encountered valuable lessons and experiences, facing teams like Moravian Academy and Pleasant Valley. Noteworthy victories, such as the impressive 62-37 win over rival Pen Argyl highlighted the team’s grit and teamwork. These experiences have laid a solid foundation for future success on the court, which bodes well for the team’s potential as they continue to grow.
