This Saturday, Boys Basketball fell 53-66 to the Williston Northampton School (Williston). Despite an impressive chase-down block by Ollie Velez ’25 on the first play of the game, Andover could not find momentum. Although they managed to steal the ball four times, Boys Basketball turned it over twelve times, leading to many fast-break opportunities that resulted in points for Williston.
Despite the tough loss on Saturday, Boys Basketball rebounded during Senior Night, winning 66-56 against St. Paul’s School. The team found its footing early, starting the game with a lead. St. Paul’s managed to claw back, tightening the score before Andover pulled away with a victory. Seniors David Fridia ’25 and Xavier Abreu ’25 were key playmakers and point scorers during the game. Fridia, the 6’7 forward, grabbed multiple offensive rebounds, extending Andover’s offensive drives. Abreu, the team’s captain in his final home game, impressed with over thirty points, several of which came from beyond the arc.
Boys Basketball will play Belmont Hill away on Saturday.
