Varsity Basketball, lead by Captain Amy Nwachukwu’ 18, started off the season with a tight scrimmage loss against Boston University Academy.  

“We have so many people on the team that are at different skill levels, so we will be able to teach each other and that will be a really good opportunity for us” said Nwachukwu. “My goal for the season is to have a team that has the ability to win games while taking what we learn and putting it into good use.” 

 The team will face Landmark School away Friday.
