The varsity boys' basketball team added a win to its season tally with a 65-63 victory over Springside Chestnut Hill Academy on Friday, Jan. 10. The Churchmen also beat The Haverford School (46-34) on the road Tuesday, January 14.
With 20-seconds left in the SCH game, Will Delaney '21 sank a three-pointer and Sam Malloy '22 made a critical free throw. But SCH battled back with a last-minute three-pointer and drew a foul- with 2.2 seconds remaining. Solid defense by Andrew Alikakos '20 stopped SCH from tying things up and heading to overtime.
Andrew told Philly Sports Digest, "My mindset was, 'I'm way too tired to go into overtime."
Co-captain Alex Capitano scored a game-high 21-points.
