The Bears faced the little Hoyas, a team with considerable weight, height, depth (very few two way players), skill and speed. GP’s two best players, a ’26 top recruit with multiple Power 5 offers was humongous and a ’28 running back with a lower body that rebuffed all tackles plus he was super swift. Others […]

Varsity preseason athletic teams have been practicing, but only water polo and football have had matches.

The Bears in the past earned a 2-2 record in hard-fought contests; Boys Latin plays in the tough MIAA A division. Their 2024 roster includes only 7 seniors and many of their key players were classes of 2027 and 2028. Their weights and heights were impressive. The Bears O was as dynamic as it has […]
