Beaver's Heading Towards Championship


Original Home Game pic comming soon...


With their last home game against Newtown High School, the Beavers, especially the seniors were looking forward to a victory. Unfortunately New Town took home the victory, 49-46.

Not only was the game well played, but peers, faculty and parents were there to support the players. “I’m here because it is their last home game and they better win,” commented senior Jason_____. Indeed the Beavers had an excellent chance because of their defense . “So far so good, they better win,” stated Mr. Willis, father of player, James Willis. During the course of the game Captain, Tijae Tait had a massive amount of defensive rebounds and played with heart on the court, so did all of the players.

Prior to the fierce game against Newtown, the Beavers were confident and hopeful to win. They were prepared but did not play as a team, according to Coach Crossland. “Feel good, feel good, to win,” Captain Tijae Tait passionately expressed before the game. However, after the game he commented, “we ight.” It was exciting for them, especially the seniors, who would be playing for the last time in the Jamaica High School gym. This brought in emotional moments because of their desire to win. They wanted to win. All spectators also had high hopes for Jamaica to embrace victory. “I feel like we going to dominate and keep control of the game. This is a definite win for them,” stated Officer Wright.

“They had a game, just didn’t finish it. It’s a team effort and they didn’t play as a team,” stated Coach Alex Crossland.

Despite Jamaica's their in the final home game, the Beavers did not give up but instead dominated in their last away game against August Martin High School , 55:64. With the Beavers final record of 9-7, their hard work, preparation and desire to triumph, they will be going to the playoffs in hopes of making it to the championship.
