The Sabers continued their flawless season with a 71 point blowout victory improving to 7-0 in front of NYC Tech basketball coaches. Totaling a season-high 88 points the Sabers nearly half way into the regular season are proving themselves the men to beat, and that they are coming for the city championship.
The Sabers continued to make history with “ATTITUDE” as they annihilated Science Skills only allowing them to tally 11 points in the first half, and remain scoreless the entire 3rd quarter in tonight’s game.
Senior guard Ahzariah Douglas went coast-to-coast with a finesse finish at the rim for an easy layup expanding the lead to 34 points opening up the 3rd Quarter. The Sabers made defensive history by shutting out their opponents in the third quarter. The Sabers began to pick up the defensive intensity led by senior guards Doran Williams and Caleb Brown with nine steals each. The Sabers forced 36 total turnovers–many of which led to ‘And one’ scoring opportunities. Williams led the defensive effort with a highlight chase down LeBron style block which completely demoralized the visiting Science Skills team.
Opening the 4th Quarter Doran Williams continued his hot shooting from the School for Classics game as he opened the 4th quarter firing two 20 ft 3 pointers leading the pack in the fourth. The Sabers received a boost from Uncommon Collegiate Charter school sophomore guard Willking “Jimmy” Grullon. Making his varsity home debut, Grullon was given a chance to shine and he made the most of his opportunity by making 2/2 free throws and attacked the rim for his own coast-to-coast and-one finish. The Sabers closed out with a final score of 88-17.
