Game Recaps 2025-2026

12/17/25

The Baby Bisons started the first of today's tripleheader in Thruway Classic against our main rival Rochester School for the Deaf.  The visitors brought a few players with imposing size which was intimidating. By the end of the game the coaches were happy to see our players stand their ground and try to take the ball away from their big players with pretty good rate of success.  

The game started slow with RSD leading 10-4 after halftime.  During the second half it became a little more open but SMSD lost at the end 21-9.  

Davinagel Herrera-Yaguaracuto scored 7 points and RJ Ormsby had the two other points.  Lily Krieger showed a lot of toughness today by coming back to court later after getting an eye injury.  Ben Lam, Vignesh Stradley, and Shaibam Abubaker played well on defense which was key in keeping our opponent's score low.  

The highlight occurred after the game when both teams got together and had pizza.  They had fun socializing and all can't wait to play each other again.

Basketball is a complicated game. There are a lot of things that players need to be think about in a game such as dribbling and playing offense or defense. After all, the official basketball rules book is 196 pages long. 

We had about one month of practice to prepare for our first game today.  The goal was to keep it simple by working on 4 things:  passing, shooting, defense, and rebounds. While there still is some work to do, the coaches were pleasantly surprised by how the players performed today. 

Our opponent Aurora was shut out in the first half with score of 18-0. It presented an opportunity for rest of the players on the roster to see playing time in the 2nd half. The game ended with us winning 22-14. 

RJ Ormsby led the way with 12 points and Daviangel Herrera-Yaguaracuto added 10. Analena Russi had the last two points. The team got some good hustle from Vignesh Stradley, Seyed Hashemi, and Shaibam Abubaker.
