GIRLS & BOYS BASKETBALL BRILLIANCE

The boys and girls basketball programs had some of the most successful seasons in Kellenberg history. Congratulations to the Boys Basketball program, which was recently honored with the James Greene Sportsmanship Award for the 2014-2015 season. This award is given each year to the Long Island high school basketball program that excels above and beyond expectations of sportsmanship, integrity, and honor in high school basketball. The girls varsity basketball team captured the NSCHSAA Class A Championship by defeating St. John the Baptist by the score of 68-67. From there the girls advanced all the way to the State Finals. Congratulations to all!

HITTING A HOMERUN FOR AWARENESS

CROSS COUNTRY EXCELLENCE

Senior Jazmine Fray’s second place finish, junior Deirdre Lewin’s fi h place finish, along with exceptional performances by seniors Raquel Lopez, Kate Elnick, Emily O’Hara, Rebecca Marks, and junior Sarah Newman cemented for Head Coach, Mr. Marty Brown, the Lady Firebirds first-ever League Cross Country team title. On a beautiful Sunday in October at Sunken Meadow State Park not only did the Varsity squad win, but both Freshman and Junior Varsity squads won their respective titles to complete the sweep!
