KINGS BAY ROOKIES 27

The DHAA Knights’ 13-year-old travel basketball team is red hot, having won nine straight games. Coaches Joe Gergenti and John Deangelo are very proud of the team’s effort during the streak.

“These boys have made tremendous strides from their first game up to now, and even though the next few games will be difficult, we know the boys are up for the challenge,” they said.

This past Sunday, the team came to play the Kings Bay Rookies at the impressive Kings Bay Youth Organization Arena in Sheepshead Bay. Knights’ center Sal Cardinale had 8 points to go along with several rebounds. Forward Israel Farrington was the high scorer of the game with 14 points, Justin Lentini scored 4 points and Matt Scarangello had a basket for 2 points.
