The New Hope-Solebury Boys High School basketball team’s season has just begun. After losing a multitude of seniors, the boys basketball team hopes to have a stellur season, coached by Rick Fedele. This year the team has had a record number of players to come out. This season 27 players came out for the team. For the first time since the 2012-2013 season, the team had a freshman squad. Lead by seniors Logan Waterman, Kristopher Taylor, Connor Wallace, and Patrick Cooney, the boys hope to have a season to remember, with help from Juniors Michael Borys, Christian Keating, and Michael Les.
“After losing to Notre Dame Green Pond two years in a row in the playoffs, I hope we end up beating them this time,” team captain Kristopher Taylor said.
“Working hard in the offseason is really going to pay off this season, a lot of young guys will be playing this year,” Patrick Cooney, class of ’19, said.
The team also has a good group of younger players looking to fit in a bigger role this season. After a successful football season for Philip Weinseimer, he hopes to continue his success with the basketball team. Sophomores Alex Walinski and Kyle McLaughlin will also look to make a contribution to the team this year.
The boys varsity team is 4-1 on the season so far, beating Upper Merion, Bristol High School, Morrisville High School, and MaST Charter, but losing to Upper Moreland in the tip-off final. The boys basketball team will be playing over the winter break in the annual Over the River Christmas tournament. The freshmen will be playing in their first game of the season in West Chester.
