The Boys Basketball Team lost a close game on Monday against Closter in the first round of the league playoffs. The loss marked the end of the season for the boys who showed great sportsmanship and effort throughout the season and had fun each and every time they took the court. The boys were always coachable and eager to learn. HP would like to thank the team for all their hard work this season especially our 8th grade team members Sean Blanchard, Luke Pavone, Luke Zechardi, David Joo, Liam Donnelly and Andre Robinson. We hope to see you all continue to play and improve as a team and as individual players.
Have a great weekend HP.
