From Jon Leizman: The RGA Global All-Stars defeated Hyde Leadership 26-9 for the Fifth and Sixth Grade Manhattan Charter School Athletic Association Basketball Championship. RGA's final league record was a perfect 7-0. Once again, defense, rebounding, teamwork, and unselfish play made the difference. Cy Howard continued his brilliant passing and rebounding, triggering numerous fast-breaks off rebounds to teammate Shaquel Jones. Shaquel also played tremendous on and off ball defense, always in the right spot at the right time. Jared Thompson had his best rebounding game of the year and continues to improve in all areas. Camera Riley improved greatly from her solid first outing by grabbing numerous rebounds and joining the rest of the team in playing tenacious defense. Elloys De La Rosa played his best game of the year by continuing with his great defensive effort and converting almost all of his shots. Reserves Elijah Bunche and DJ Guy provide great defensive intensity while improving their offense. Kenner Del Orbe has become much more patient while looking for his shot which is quite good. Trevor Wan also played well and has improved perhaps more than anyone on the team since the beginning of the season. He is actually doing double duty as a player-manager. He asked me at the beginning of the season to be my manager which he has performed excellently in all regards and later was added to the team upon his request.
It has been a great winter season. The team played with the utmost heart and sportsmanship. We have a few more non-league games on our official schedule the next several weeks. In the spring, we hope to defend our title by entering our basketball team in the CSAA spring league which will have even greater competition, and also add a co-ed soccer and track team. More photos to follow soon! (Thanks for the article, Jon!)
