CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT SEASON!
This week, we wrapped up our NYBL Grade 3/4 and 5/6 season, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our players, coaches, parents, and community for their hard work and dedication all season long.
This was an incredibly successful season of growth, with our largest group of players in HAA basketball history—12 teams! Seeing our program grow year over year has been truly exciting, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for HAA Basketball next season.
A huge congratulations to all our Grade 5/6 Girls and Boys teams for an outstanding playoff run this past—every team made it to the semi-finals!
Our Harvard-Green Boys 5/6 team coached by Chris Roy and James O’Leary faced the Berlin-Blue Boys team in the NYBL Division 3 Boys Playoff. Playing at a neutral gym in Stow, the Harvard Boys 5/6 clinched a thrilling double-overtime championship win against Berlin! Harvard's teamwork shined through crisp passing and tough defense against sharpshooters. Despite an early lead, Berlin edged ahead by one at halftime. Harvard responded with relentless intensity, forcing steals and rebounds, but Berlin’s shooting kept it tied through regulation and the first OT. In the second OT, Harvard locked down defensively, holding Berlin scoreless while Harvard was able to connect on three key baskets to secure the 31-25 victory.
Our Harvard-White Girls 5/6 team coached by Ben Marciniak, Paul Robertson, and Li Deng had a strong playoff run, an impressive feat for a team that finished under .500 and included several first-time players. After decisive wins over Stow-Red (34-19) and Boylston-Green (24-16), they faced a dominant Berlin-Blue squad in the NYBL Division 2 Girls Playoff game on Monday, February 10th. Despite a tied game at halftime, injuries to key players Emily Nohl and Anna Delrossi proved pivotal, and Harvard fell 37-29. The team showed incredible grit, with standout performances from Emily, Abby Marciniak, Aylin Robertson, and the team's determined fifth graders.
