Tigers Beat Rye Neck Panthers 48-45

The Mamaroneck Tigers kept their record of no losses this basketball season, after defeating the Rye Neck Panthers 48 to 45 on Dec. 30th at Mamaroneck High School.

Coach Tyrone Carver said that he was  satisfied with his team, but that they could have done better. "I am gratified with the win," he said. "But we did not play well, we played only 16 minutes of the game, not 32." 

The Panthers lost a very close game. John Aguilar, coach of the Panthers, said he was proud of his team. "We played our hearts out," he said. "We had seven guys when we usually have eight, so we came out a little short."

The stands were packed, with supporters for both schools screaming, "Come on, Tigers!" and "We are proud of you, Panthers!" 

Toward the end of the game, spectatators were on the edges of their seats because the outcome could have gone either way. Mamaroneck fans jumped up and down and cheered as the Tigers won.

Player Oliver Shirley said that he was happy his team went undefeated, but that they definitlely needed to improve some of their tactics. "I am feeling good we got the win," he said. "But with the competition we are playing later we need to step up our game."
