Thursday December 20th, SLA Boys Basketball lost 59-74 against Philadelphia Charter Academy. Sophomore True Black scored the most points (14) for SLA with Junior Sterling Perry close behind him scoring 13.

The game proved tough when Perry and Senior Jakobi Martin-Howard were ejected from the game during 4th quarter after arguing with the other team.

“It was a rough game. We played really scrappy,” Martin-Howard commented,“We just couldn’t win.”

 SLA vs Parkway

SLA Boys basketball lost against Parkway west, 54-60, Tuesday January 2nd. This is seventh game in a row they have lost.

“We didn’t play as a team or run the system,” commented Senior Captain Andrew Chalfan, “that’s why we lost.”

After the winter break, the team walked into the game expecting an opportunity for a fresh start. While they didn’t win, this is the closest score they have had yet this season.

The team is hoping to break this losing streak in their next game, January 8th, against Bodine High School.

Last Friday, December 14th, the Boys Basketball team lost 38-61 to Swenson Arts and Technology High School.

Senior Jakobi Martin-Howard finished with 16 points in the game, with multiple 3 pointer shots and a step-back jump shot from the baseline.

Despite losing by 23 points, the team played well. Swenson is a division higher than the SLA Boys Basketball team, and were reportedly “bigger and better” than most of the more elite teams in the SLA Boys Basketball’s division.

“We could have played better,” commented Senior and Captain Andrew Chalfan, “This just wasn’t our game.”

The next game, against Girard Academic Music Program, is on Tuesday the 18th. Last year some players from the SLA team and the GAMP team got in a fist fight in the middle of the game, resulting in some of the players being forced to leave. “This game is personal to everyone,” stated Chalfan.
