Faith Christian

January 5th - Casey Crail

Boys’ basketball dominates Upper Bucks

In what could be the final game of the long rivalry, Faith Christian Academy blew out Upper Bucks Christian. While the Lions had the game under wraps before the first quarter concluded, they never showed the Bucks mercy as they increased their 54-12 halftime lead to the final score of 86-26. Will Maynard was the high scorer for the Lions, finishing with 17 points while draining five 3-point shots. When asked about his night from behind the arc, Maynard said he “re-gained his confidence” and that “tonight was a good confidence game.” The top six Lions are seniors, including Maynard, and when asked how he felt about his teammates, he said, “They’re nice guys, I like playing with them.”

On the other hand, Upper Bucks has only one senior on the roster, Brendan Smith, who was their leading scorer with 12 points. Head coach Baron Smith, when questioned about his team’s performance, said he told his team they had to “be aggressive, set the tempo in your own house.” However, this was not the case, and despite an ugly loss, the 1996 Upper Bucks graduate and former player had nothing but respect for his rivals: “I give them a lot of respect, they have great players and a great coach.”

Both teams will continue to press on this season as Faith has this one season before losing its top six guys, and on the flipside, Smith will look for continued improvement in his young squad.

Boys' soccer shuts down Delco, 3-1

The New Hope-Solebury boys' soccer team faced off against Delaware County Christian on Tuesday, playing in honor of Ethan Toohey, equipped with his favorite color shown on the Lions' shin guards in green duct tape. Both teams came out well prepared. About 20 minutes into the first half, New Hope pulled ahead, 2-0, thanks to back-to-back goals by Matt Barile (sophomore), within the span of a minute. Jack Natale (sophomore) gave Barile a quick lead on the ball downfield to give him a breakaway and he capitalized with an easy chip over the goalie and single bounce into the net to give him his first goal of the game. The second goal was much easier as Barile tapped in a rebound after a grueling shot by Ben Musekari (freshman) that hit the right post of the goal. At the start of the second half, Delco Christian came back with a quick goal scored by Andrew Crisanti (senior), who, like Barile, also capitalized off one of his own teammate's shot deflections. But what really blew the game away was the penalty kick scored by New Hope senior captain Graham Smith after being fouled within Delco's own 18-yard line.

Barile was also seen in the game showing off some moves going down the field and splitting his defender through the legs with a kick with the back of his heel. Also some killer saves were made by Jaxon Vallely (senior), New Hope's goalkeeper, keeping the lead comfortable for the Lions. New Hope finished strong, with some strong defense, keeping and holding the lead against Delco Christian to extend its record to 4-1, and will be preparing for its next home game on Thursday, against Springfield at 3:45 p.m.
