With volleyball wrapped up, St. Anthony’s is looking towards the basketball season and is seeing strong participation from the young players.
Athletic director Gavin Makse says they have 25 kids out for the Junior B Boys Basketball team. Those are Grade 6-8 boys.
“We practice together and made two teams,” he said, adding they have made no cuts and will be hosting home games and are planning to host tournaments one Friday each month for the duration of the season.
The Junior Varsity Boys team kicked off the season on Wednesday, December 1 playing Duchess at home.
The Junior Varsity team competes in a league with Rosemary, Duchess, Bassano, Wheatland Crossing and Youngstown. They are coached by Jefferson Cervantes.
“These are all 1A schools, so it works out great,” he said.
He says they are still working on getting the girls program up and going for the season.
