Mid-Winter Invitational

The SKS boys varsity basketball team claimed the first-ever Mid-Winter Invitational with a thrilling 64-62 OT victory over crosstown rival NYMA. The game went back and forth down the stretch with the deciding basket being scored by senior Samuel DeSouza within the last 30 seconds of the overtime period.  The Cougars advanced to the title game with an 80-60 semifinal victory on Saturday afternoon versus St. Andrew's School in Providence, RI, while the NYMA Knights cruised to victory over the Hoosac School to set up the grudge match.  All-tournament honors went to Desouza and his fellow senior Denys Bobchuk, but every player who saw the floor made key plays to help the home team win the day.
