Disappointing End To Good Season

The difference in this game was that Taft made most of their shots and Westminster missed most of theirs.  The game was close for the first four minutes and Taft led 10-8 at the 12 minute mark.  The Rhinos then outscored the Martlets 25-4 for the rest of the half.  The second half was even (26-26), but Westminster could not cut into the lead.  While this was a disappointing conclusion to the season, the Martlets had plenty to feel good about during the winter of 2012-2013.  Highlights of this season included three consecutive victories at the end of the season and going 5-3 in their last eight games.  The team improved over the course of the season and learned to play well together.  One highlight was the Williston game on February 20 where thirteen different players combined for 53 points.  On February 16, Westminster won a double overtime thriller against Taft.  This team included six Third Formers - Ken Barnes, Carl Doucette, Noah Fosse-Greiner, Ricardo Vazquez, Jack Werner, and Scott Williams. These boys will provide a solid foundation for the future of Westminster basketball.  The roster also included three Fourth Formers - Joey Oh, Tyler Buckley, and David Carter.  Carter also had the lead in the winter musical, and Buckley and Oh had solid seasons.  The Fifth Formers provided some stable leadership - Cade Von Gal, Charlie Niles, Carlo Comia, and Henry Anderson.  The three modeled sportsmanship and grace for the rest of the team.  Sixth Formers Christian Barral-Arteta, Jack Rubino, Alemante Tedla, and Evan Yenor were outstanding leaders on and off of the court.  Leading drills at practice, calming the team down during games, and reaching out to individual players were three of the many tasks that they accomplished.  The boys will work hard this summer and come back ready to be better next winter.
