Coach Mike and I were talking. We would love for the players to each purchase a warm up hoodie.

We personally like the Blue one.

Would families be interested in this?

Springfield 40 northley 15

Josiah James 8 points
Sullivan Gatchell 6 points
Shane Dalton played really good defense and had a really nice effort overall. While he may not of scored he did a lot of little things well. Created a ton of turnovers on defense, grabbed a bunch of rebounds.

Northley 35 Springfield 22

Great over all team effort again. Shane stone played a great game on offense 14 points and tough defense. Max Freeman hit a big 3 and made some really nice passes. Mason King was a beast on the boards and also had some blocked shots. Elijah did a great job defensive protecting the basket. Bradydon hit a big 3 pointer to help the team and played stellar defense. Eric Kane controlled the paint area with his offense and defense. Great job to all the players as the team moves to 2-0 on the season.

8th grade with a tough defeat today to dhms.

7th grade with a great win over dhms.

Josiah James led northley 8th grade with 19 points. Luke McGrath chipped in 4 points. In a tough matchup we thought the team battled and did the best they could. It was a great atmosphere with a packed gym. I doubt we will see another atmosphere quite like that one this season.

7th grade won with a total team effort. 9 out of 10 scored today.. Team went on a big run in the 3rd quarter to take a 10 point lead going into the 4th quarter. Eric Kane and Adbul west with big 3rd quarters. It was a total team effort with contributions from the entire team.

Win or lose we are always Proud of all the Northley student athletes

The remind app limits the amount of characters you can type so I'll leave a message here for the players:

8th graders- thank you for dedicating your winter afternoons to represent Northley playing basketball the last couple years. The development and progress as basketball players has been fun to watch, but really you are all great young men and future leaders. I tried to push you all to be your best, play your hardest, and to Never give up. Middle school basketball, while their are No playoffs, is a good test to see where you are as a player going into high school. I would love to see every kid on the team tryout for the high school team next year.

7th graders- I really enioyed watching you all play this season. Lots of growth and potential from this group. Please use the next year to work on getting stronger and faster, work hard on your fundamentals. You will see alot of Growth from your players in the next year. My hope is next bball season they come back ready to get it in.

We wish the student athletes nothing but the Best!

Congrats to the 7th grade team on their Win over Springfield. Grwat team win. First time since I have been involved a 7th grade team has beaten those teams in the same season.. Great stuff!

8th grade fell to Springfield who's only loss this season was to Garnet Valley. 8th grade played hard and kept the game within striking distance. It was a fiesty physical game. While Northley was short handed today, the players played very hard and represented themselves well and didn't back down one bit. I thank them for that. I want to Thank Josiah and Royce for playing up today and giving the team some valuable minutes off the bench. Allowed the players to get a little rest as it was a physical and fast paced game. Josiah had 2 points on foul shots and Royce had a nice Rebound and Put back.

Both teams close out the season Tuesday at home vs Paxon Hollow Middle School. Let's finish strong.

Uniforms will be turned in after Wednesdays team pic!

Congrats to the 7th grade team on their Win against Garnet Valley. This is the first Northley 7th grade win against GV in at least the last 6 years. Be Proud of yourselves! Luke M. had a big 3 pointer, Royce had huge defense and rebounds, Josiah had a great all around game. The team defense was very good. Every player played a role, whether it was supporting their teamates from the bench, or on the court with their play. Keep that energy!

8th grade lost 50-41. The team was down by almost 30 points at one point. We are ALL very proud that you played hard until the end. That shows TRUE character. That is a trait that will take you very far in life! That's the second time in 2 days that a team took out their starters only to renter them back into the game because our guys wouldn't quit playing. Our guys play until the final whistle, that is a Fact.
