Varsity Basketball at Boys Club Tournament

The Eaglebrook Boys basketball team traveled to New York City on Saturday, January 15 to participate in the Future Stars Tournament. Teams in the tournament included: Rectory, Rumsey Hall, Cardigan Mountain School, New York City Boys Club, and Eaglebrook. Coming off an emotional win against Cardigan the night before, Eaglebrook drew a tough first round draw and faced Rectory. With a relentless press, Rectory earned some easy baskets off turnover baskets and Eaglebrook found themselves down early. Eaglebrook’s Isaiah Cyprien was a highlight for the game, scoring a number of impressive drives to the hoop. Eaglebrook fought hard but ended up losing by a significant margin. In the second round, Eaglebrook matched up well against Rumsey Hall. With leadership from Angelo Hunt, Gabe Bitzer, and Rodney Miller, Eaglebrook worked the post and scored off some easy lay-ins. Eaglebrook proved to be too much for Rumsey and won with a 30-point margin. In Eaglebrook’s final game in the tournament and fourth game within twenty hours, tired legs couldn’t overcome Cardigan’s zone trap. Eaglebrook made a valiant effort with an impressive comeback in the second half with tenacious defense from Nick Seretta, Noah Cisse, and Isaiah Cyprien, but couldn’t close the gap. Eaglebrook finished the weekend with a 2-2 record with the stage is set for a rubber-match against Cardigan later in the season.
