WSP's Basketball Program is growing!
This weekend, WSP boys’ varsity team will play at St. Edmunds tonight at 6pm and then again on Saturday, Feb. 8 at either 12:20 or 1:30pm depending on the outcome of this evening’s game. On Monday, February 10, WSP co-ed 7th and 8th graders play Falk. Wednesday, Feb. 12, there will be two games (non-binary and girls) played against Ellis at West Penn Rec Center. These games are at 3:30pm and 4:30pm. There will be one more game on Feb. 26 at 3:30pm at West Penn Rec Center against Shady Side Academy.
This year’s basketball program has grown from 10 players last year to 23 players this year. Last year, we only played two scrimmages. This year, we have played against five different schools, and we will have played a total of 14 games by the end of the season. We have 5 amazing volunteer coaches without whom we could not do this! Many thanks to Quincy Swatson, Fleming Davis, Todd Tomczyk, Paul Rodgers, and Drew Goldstein. We also owe a big thank you to our Athletics Director, Ms. Ang Illar.
We are grateful to have excellent attendance at practice thanks to our parents!
Our team has to work really hard to practice off-site as we are the only independent school without on-site facilities. As a reminder, 50% of all donations given to the annual fund support our sport court initiative, which will provide WSP with a renovated, regulation-sized basketball court in the grades play yard.
