Falcons Put On a Show

Don’t let the small gym they play their home games in fool you. The Health Sciences Falcons Boys Basketball team puts on a show.

The Falcons (7-1), put on a big show for their fans Monday night as they beat the WNY Maritime Charter Commodores (2-4) 82-32 in Charter Cup action.

Like most good shows, there were quite a few moments that would’ve made a nice highlight reel.

The biggest came in the third quarter when Health Sciences sophomore Kameron Briggs threw the ball against the backboard and his 6′ 6″ teammate Davante Gaines went up grabbed the ball and threw it down. Believe it or not that was one of three spectacular dunks he had Monday night. Gaines ended the night leading his team in scoring with 23 points.

“He covers every stat line, he and Tyron (Loft) are the anchors of our team”, Health Sciences Falcons Head Coach Tyree Parker said about Gaines.

But it wasn’t Gaines’ dunks that beat the Commodores. From the first whistle to the final buzzer the Falcons relentlessly pressured Maritime Charter, coming up with steals and forcing multiple turnovers.

“In order to pressure another team all game you have to be in great shape”, Parker stated. “Our culture is in our conditioning.”

Wize Threat helped Health Sciences get going with two quick three-pointers to start the game. He was also a major part of the full-court press defense that made it difficult for the Commodores to get the ball successfully past the midcourt. The strong defense turned into offense quickly as the Falcons had a 27-10 at the end of the first quarter and a 42-14 lead at the half.

Tyron Loft has stepped into a new role this season, switching from shooting guard to point guard. A process that he has handled with grace.

“He’s been starting varsity since freshman year so he has the most experience out of everybody. I look to him for leadership. He transitioned from a shooting guard to point guard this year. It means he’s not getting as many shots but he has bought into that”, Parker said.

Loft helped facilitate the offense in the win, finding teammates like Threat, Gaines and Kameron Briggs, while still scoring 21 points.

“I know if I give my teammates a good pass, they will make the shot”, Loft said.

The Commodores were a little overwhelmed in the first half by the heavy pressure and high tempo game, but in the second Maritime Charter stepped up and settled in a bit.

“They’re a very talented team, there is a reason they’re ranked No. 1 in the area”, WNY Maritime Head Coach Brian Ellsworth said. “We’ll definitely learn from this, I was proud of our kids they kept working hard.”

After a heartbreaking loss to Fredonia in the Class B2 final last year, Coach Parker feels this season the team has bought into the program.

“We made it to the Class B2 Championship but we didn’t understand what buying into the process was, over the summer they all had a chance to sit down and reflect on how much harder we could’ve worked”, Parker said. “This year we’re working harder.”

As far the team’s expectations for season Gaines made it clear, saying “everybody has one goal, win a championship.”

Health Sciences will host the Buffalo Academy of Science on Wednesday at 7:30pm at Enterprise Charter. WNY Maritime Charter will not be back in action until Jan. 11 when they host Global Concepts at St. Mary’s School for the Deaf at 7:30pm.
