Girls Basketball Practice Today!

Girls Practice today at Upper Noe Playground on Day Street. Practice is from 3:30 to 4:30. This will be the place for practice every monday. We currently have our season schedule but we are in the process of making some adjustments. Originally we were to have games played primarily on tuesday and thursday at Upper Noe. We were recently informed that they will be using the gym now for their own city wide league and will be using the gym for all the games. We made our original schedule based on information we received from them prior to the Annual coaches meeting, that the gym was free for usage. We are now looking at revising the schedule based on the new circumstances. As soon as we finalize everything we will get the new schedule out to you as soon as possible.

BASKETBALL PRACTICE

IT'S TIME AGAIN FOR SYNERGY BASKETBALL

There will be practice today at St. Mary's playground. Practice will be from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. today. We are still awaiting approval of our permit request to have games and practices at Upper Noe. Once we receive confirmation we will be sending home a schedule of practices and games. It will also appear in the Wed. Word.

We also would appreciate any assistance with getting the team to games and practices.

Thank you and I look forward to an exciting season!

CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!

The Synergy Boys also played SF School in the Championship game at the Ella Hill Hutch Community Center on Friday night. The boys played a great defensive game for most of the night and came away with a hard fought 36-27 victory in front of a packed house. The boys broke open a close game at the half. The boys used a strong pressure defense that caused several turnovers and led to the margin of victory. This was the second Boys Championship in the last 3 years for the Boys and the future looks bright for years to come. The boys went wire to wire and completed the second undefeated season in 3 years. What makes this feat special is that they did it with more teams in the league and for the first time 2 different divisions.

Great job Guys and thanks for a great year!

CLOSE !!!!!!!!!!!

The Synergy Girls came up short of winning the Girls Varsity Championship on Friday night at Ella Hill Hutch Community Center. The girls trailed by only 4 points at the half with a score of 9-5. After both teams played even for most of the game going through the 4th quarter. SF School jumped out to a 11 point lead late in the game only to see the girls fight back with 5 unanswered points to cut the game to 20-14 with about 2 minutes left in the game. The comeback had the large crowd in attendance roaring and on their feet. Sf School pulled away late for a 10 point victory. The girls in defeat played like champions and should be very proud of their accomplishments this season. (undefeated regular season and #1 seed in the playoffs.)

Thank you for a great season and laying the foundation for future Synergy Girls basketball teams.

On to the Championship Game!!!!

In two exciting games tonight, both the Girls and Boys Varsity teams won their playoff games and advanced to this years Finals.
The girls played a very game Girls team from Presidio Hill School. Synergy jumped out to a 10-0 lead and withstood an outstanding gritting performance from PHS. There were several lead changes that had the large crowd in attendance on their feet throughout the game. The girls from Synergy put on a late spurt and held on for a win going away 33-27.

The boys also played another close an exciting game. The boys from SF Friends were very much deserving of a place in this Semi Final round. The game went back and forth from the very beginning. Synergy held a 16-14 halftime lead in a game that was not decided until the last 2 minutes of the game. When it looked as though Synergy would take control of the game and win going away, SF Friends had something else to say about that. They continued to fight back with clutch shooting and timely defense to stay in the game. The Synergy Boys showed why they were seeded #1 late in the game and stepped up their defense and offense to close the game out with a 33-26 victory.

The teams in both games need to be commended for representing their schools very well. It was truly a night to remember.

The Finals will be tomorrow night at the Ella Hill Hutch Community Center. It is located on the corner of McAllister and Webster.
The Girls play at 6:00 p.m. and the Boys play right after at 7:15 p.m. It should be a great night. If you can, please come out and support both teams. It means a lot.

Thank You!

Varsity Boys Playoff Opponent

I went to the game tonight between KIPP and SF Friends. SF Friends won the game. The game was close for the first 2 quarters and was never in doubt after that. The boys will play SF Friends tomorrow night in the Semi Finals at SF Friends at 5:00 following the Girls Varsity game.d The winner of this game will play on Friday at 5:00 for the Championship vs an opponent to be named later.

Come out and give them your support!

Varsity Girls Playoff Opponent.

I went to the game to scout the girls opponent for Thursday. It looks like it's going to be Presidio Hill School. I left in the 4th qtr. with 1:39 seconds left and Presidio Hill was leading 22-14. They broke open an even game that was tied at 14-14 late in the 4th Qtr.. Unless a miracle happened it will be PHS on Thursday at 4:00 at SF Friends School. I'll be going to SF Friends on Wednesday to watch the boys opponent in the game between SF Friends and KIPP.
