Shooting guard Josh Choy ’22 faces two Stony Point players as the Tigers have control of the ball. Choy watches his opponent carefully so he is ready for whatever move they will make.
Power forward Josef Borkowski ’21 and small forward Vinay Majjiga ’22 both leap into the air in hopes of rebounding the ball. Majjiga was able to successfully get the ball putting it back in the Warriors’ control.

The Warriors started off strong scoring within the first couple minutes of the game giving them a three point lead. The first period ended with the Warriors in the lead with 14-11.
Continuing the excitement into the second period, the Warriors finished still leading with 33-28. Despite being thrown off a little by the Tigers’ playing style, the Warriors were able to bounce back.
“We were adjusted accordingly and were able to match up well with them,” point guard Robbie Jeng ‘21 said.
In the second half of the game, however, the Tigers stole the lead. The third period continued to have a fluctuation in scoring going back and forth between the Warriors and the Tigers, and concluded with the Tigers emerging with an eight point lead 49-41.
