Boys Basketball
The varsity boys basketball team had our senior night game against EB Votech on Wednesday 1/19. We celebrated our 2 seniors Adam Eldeeb and Anthony Vella who have been committed members of the program for 4 years. We were able to secure a hard fought 51-42 victory! It was an overall great team effort. Jianny Caraballo led the team in scoring with a career high 17 points. Gavin Pelkey added a double double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Anthony Vella continues to dominate the boards as he pulled in another 13 rebounds while adding 8 points. Angel Barillas and Josiah Floyd added great defense and energy for the team.
“The Boys JV basketball team fought hard in their game against EB Vo-Tech on Wednesday but came up short in the end 39-30. Great hustle all around from everyone as they continue to work and get better day in and day out. Looking forward to our next game, this Friday, where we take on Piscataway Vo-Tech in hopes of getting the win”
South Amboy Middle School boys basketball is off to a 2-3 start. We’re doing a good job defensively, communicating and working as a unit to produce a quality of work that will make us proud. The willingness to learn about ourselves, each other and our sport day in & day out, is seen through our gameplay. Led by a group, not any individuals. We work together as a team, lift each other up on & off the court. We face off against Spotswood Middle School to bring us to .500 & continue our climb towards our season goals.
Girls Basketball
The girls had the closest game of the season falling to Piscataway Tech by just 3 points. Taylor Gliese had a career high 30 points. The Lady Guvs scored 51 points, the first time the program has hit the 50 point mark since 2017.
The Lady Guvs Middle School team are off to a 3 and 0 record with victories over Dunellen, South Brunswick, and Highland Park. The Lady Guvs are led by Bella Pardo, Olivia Riveria, and Taylor Sofilkanich.
Cheerleading
This week we had our first full team attendance. The varsity cheerleaders helped celebrate boys senior night by decorating the locker room and making signs for them. The cheerleaders demonstrated their school spirit and sportsmanship while cheering both the boys and girls varsity teams on. Ali and Laura showed their leadership skills by leading the team in sideline cheers during the game and engaging the crowd.
Our middle school cheer team is doing an amazing job at learning and practicing their halftime routine. The athletes are looking forward to performing and showcasing their talent in the upcoming weeks. They have all been working really hard to support our teams. We also want to give a huge shout out to this year's captains: Alyssa Berecsky, Dani Kudelka, and Sophia Pham. These three athletes have cheered with us since their 6th grade year and have been great role models for our newer athletes.
