Just want to say thank you to the

community for all of the support this year. It was a great run and we are lucky to represent a school with such rich tradition. We got better this year and we grew as a team. It was a special group and our seniors will be missed.
Ebuka Okorie ‘25 - just 15 years old. Scores and creates at the highest level, consistently beating players 3 and 4 years older than him. Averaged 20 ppg in the NEPSAC AA playoffs.
Easily one of the most slept on players in the country.

Alexis Reyes ‘21 — footwork, 3 level scorer, great feel and improved athleticism. A lot of similarities to Celtic’s Jayson Tatum. Future is bright!

How about my guy Wabissa Bede who just earned his Bachelor’s degree after just 3 years at Virginia Tech while playing ACC basketball. Nothing short of amazing. Bede will finish his 4 year career at VT with a Master’s degree. Basketball ➡️ education ➡️ life changing opportunities.
Cushing won on the road vs WMA 61-52. Ndur dominated on both ends and finished w 18 and 12, Conway 15 and 12, Reyes 11. Got back to our defensive ways.

Proud of this team. Displayed great toughness and resilience throughout the year and especially this weekend. “Finishing” and staying “connected” were two ideas we emphasized all year. Thought yesterday was a great example of that.

Brendan Coyle’22 is a 6’6 guard from Colonie, NY. The

Wabissa Bede ‘17 — Nobody in the country with a better resume over the past 6 years when it comes to his leadership and impact on winning. Proven at every level: Adidas, NEPSAC, ACC. 4 years after NEPSAC Title, Season MVP, tourney MVP and leading CA to a top 5 national rank...
"Coach Bede not only knows our culture from his two years playing for us, but he exemplifies all of the foundational things we want to be about that are also in line with Texas A&M's Core Values..."

Hearing from HM schools all week about the “most versatile wing in New England”. Alexis Reyes (
@alexisreyes58
) is as good of a basketball player as there is in New England; drills it from 3, attacks off the bounce, makes everyone around him better, DOG!!!
Excited about this group. Loaded with talent and versatile prospects. Need to be tougher and compete at a higher level, but I’m convinced we have the makeup to improve in those areas. Going to be another exciting year for the Penguins.

NJ James-2025 - 3 level scorer that gets to the paint at will. Passes out of pnr - pushes tempo - competes and leads at the highest level. Defends, quick and bouncy…Most importantly — winner.
