Triumph

The most wonderful thing for little Synergy School, which probably has fewer students than any other K-8 school in this city, is that this year, for the first time in its quarter century or so of existence, all four basketball teams made the playoffs.

By tonight, however, only one team was left standing -- the boys' varsity basketball team. The other three -- varsity girls, JV boys and girls -- also had great seasons, but by tonight, other teams had won the championships in their leagues.

So, tonight, was the final game for not only the varsity boys but the whole school.







In the end, the varsity boys prevailed in a manner that left no doubt who the best team in their league is. They won this game 45-11.

For the season, they finished 10-0 and won games by an average score of 36-12. Naturally, I am very proud of my own son, who anchored this team, played hurt, and was a leader in every respect.

But even more I am proud of this little school, its coaches, and the families who helped our sons do something that never before has happened in this league in this city. A perfect season!
