In wrapping up the season Coach John Carlesi had this to say, “Despite the loss, I am so proud on how this team handled itself this season and in the playoffs, making it to the second round. At the beginning of the season, all the coaches agreed we might be a .500 team from what we saw in preseason play. With the loss of 11 seniors in 2023, many of this year’s players did not get much playing time last year, if any.
Boy, were we wrong!!
Not only did this team play better than expected but they beat two of the elite eight teams going into the quarterfinals, one of them ranked 3rd in the city. Not only was it a win but a shutout. “
