This year’s boy’s varsity basketball team is thriving and ready to greet the playoffs with determination and diligence.

With a squad composed of 7 seniors, 4 juniors, and 4 sophomores, fans are sure to notice the grit displayed by this team in each game.

Jericho High School social studies teacher and assistant coach Barry Coval feels optimistic about the post season mainly due to how hard his players performed so far. ”The basketball season is a marathon not a sprint. The team has been working hard throughout the season and their efforts have paid off. The team continues to improve and is getting better with each practice and each game. We are looking forward to a strong finish in the regular season and making a run in the play-offs,” he said.

Co-captain Isaac Varghese believes this year’s team proves itself over and over by their resolve. When describing their performance this year he quoted the maxim, “Character is revealed when pressure is applied.”
