Harlem JV Basketball – Final Game results

Mr. Mort — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:32:41 +0000

It was a great season and our Locke’s Lions had a terrific outing in the final game. They showed dedication, teamwork and great sportsmanship.

Sitting there in the bleechers, Principal Green, AP Ms. Colón, and a group of teachers, parents and classmates, were all very proud of the way our boys hung in there until the final buzzer in a heartpounding one point game.

Unfortunately, the other team was able to edge us out in the closing seconds.

Final score: PS 83 – 24, PS 208 – 23

The boys worked extraordinarily hard, but we have to hand it to PS 83 for putting up a valiant effort and hanging in there with us the whole game. Ultimately making their final push at the very end of the second half.

As for our own Locke’s Lions, we will have a focused off-season and come back next year knowing exaclty what our goal is, the championship trophy for the Harlem JV Basketball League!

Locke’s Lions Basketball Team & Cheerleaders Celebrate Their Season

Kara — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 18:03:18 +0000

The regular season recently ended with the Lions finishing with an 11-1 record, good enough to clinch a first round bye in the playoffs.

Alain L. Locke -P.S. 208 team’s greatest test came in the final game of the regular season, when the previously undefeated Lions walked into P.S 83’s gym, complacently expecting to cruise to a 12-0 season. For the first time, the team had to deal with the concept of losing but it was the best thing that has happened to them. It served as a serious wake-up call: team members momentarily forgot that everything achieved to date had been earned, not simply granted.

With our cheerleaders unparalleled enthusiasm to lead us on, the team has responded with an intense focus, unexpected leaders have emerged, camaraderie has risen to an all-time high, the passion and hunger are evident, and it is clear that the Lions know they have some unfinished business.

In their most recent game, the Lions rebounded with a decisive semifinal playoff victory over P.S. 57, and now await their opponent in the championship game.
