Poly Prep gains big experience with a win over Riverdale
The Poly Prep coaches tried to downplay the significance of the game, but sophomore point guard J.D. Levine couldn’t hide his excitement after the Blue Devils avenged their loss during last season’s championship game by beating Riverdale 56-46 in Bay Ridge on Thursday.
“This was a pretty big deal because we wanted to get back at them,” Levine said. “We didn’t play to the best of our ability, but we came in prepared and we knew what to expect. We got the win and that is all that matters.”
The Blue Devils had good ball movement all game long and just about everyone on the team contributed. Ferran Brown led with nine points and Levine, Najee Taylor, Wolfgang Novogratz and David Dixon each had eight points.
