CSW Boys Basketball Team Wins Gryphon Goblet Tournament
The CSW Boys' Varsity basketball team faced off against the Newman School on Friday night in the opening game of the Gryphon Goblet. CSW started strong with a three-pointer from Gabe Oxenberg and never looked back. Defense dominated early for both teams, with the Gryphons leading 18-10 at halftime. In the second half, CSW came out firing on all cylinders. Freshmen Nathan Niu and Brenden Fortes anchored the defense, while a balanced scoring effort helped the Gryphons extend their lead to as much as 27 points. Sophomore Sam Kuchler led the team in scoring with 11 points, while Juniors Gabe Oxenberg and Manny Cabana each added 9. By the end of the game, eight different players contributed to the scoring, and the team racked up an impressive 17 steals. The Gryphons secured a decisive 51-34 victory, advancing to the finals against BISB.
On Saturday at 2 p.m., the Gryphons faced off against the Bulldogs from the British International School of Boston. The first half was a back-and-forth battle, with the Gryphons holding a five-point lead at the break. The second half started much like the first, as the Bulldogs clawed their way back to within three points. However, a few minutes in, CSW’s press began to dominate, forcing multiple turnovers that led to fast-break points. The Gryphons were powered by outstanding performances from Juniors Rayan Jounaidi and Thomas Chen. Jounaidi delivered an all-around effort with seven points, nine rebounds, four assists, four steals, and a block. Chen contributed 11 points, six rebounds, five assists, and a steal. Similar to the night before, the Gryphons found another gear in the second half, pulling away to a double-digit lead. Sophomore Sam Kuchler once again led the team in scoring with 15 points. CSW also displayed excellent ball movement, assisting 16 of their 26 made baskets. The game concluded with a 57-42 victory, earning CSW their second Gryphon Goblet title in the past three years.
