After taking a hit, John McNair ’26 jumps above his defenders into the paint, trying to deepen the Warriors’ lead over the Cedar Ridge Raiders on Tuesday, Dec. 3. McNair, after his time on the freshman team as a leading scorer joined the varsity team in his sophomore year in the hopes to continue his yearly tradition of layups, free throws, and buckets. “The way that we play [and succeed] does not matter what the other team looks like,” Coach Rigney said. “We are just going to play the same way as we do.”

Fighting his triple coverage, Tyson Woods ’25 attempts to drain another shot in the paint against the Cedar Ridge Raiders on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Throughout the game, Woods was a consistent shot in coverage, contributing a large amount to the lead that the Warriors mounted throughout the game, eventually winning 63-40. “Playing how we wanted to play, aggressive and accurately ultimately won us the game,” Coach Rigney said.

Making a move past his defender, Indy McBrearty ’25 stops in his tracks, juking the Cedar Ridge Raider guarding him. The Warriors’ aggression with the ball started in the second quarter and continued throughout the rest of game, which forced their opponents to adapt to a play style they were not used to causing a multitude of slip-ups and fouls. “We play aggressive so there will be fouls,” Coach Rigney said. “It’s all about limiting the outside noise and play how we want to play.”

Leaping to pop in a layup, Tyson Woods ’25 puts two more points in the board against Cedar Ridge Raiders on Tuesday, Dec. 3.

As Sumner Holland ’26 dives the ball down the paint for his first points of the game on Tuesday, Dec. 3, he is looking to make a move past a second Cedar Ridge defender. The Warriors’ offense was not the only thing present during the game as the defense midcourt and at the net repeatedly shut down Cedar Ridge’s attempts at a comeback. “We did a great job staying aggressive and rebounding [the ball] today” Coach Rigney said.

Conall Coats, Sports Editor
Class of 2025
I have always loved writing, listening, and telling stories. I am eagerly looking forward to being the sports editor this school year, and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me. Some of my favorite activities are creating and adventuring, whether they be through paper or in the middle of the woods. I spend most of my days talking to friends or taking hikes… if the weather permits it. I greatly anticipate what is to come in this new year, and I hope to see some of you in class!
