2/6/25- The Bisons hosted the Central Baptist Lions JV last night. Despite the Lions' best effort, the Bisons' weaknesses were still too much for the Lions. To keep the game interesting and the score close, we avoided using the fastbreak. Our rookies, Dylan Lewis, Jaryel Negaton-Vasquez, and Nick Labelle sought more play time on the court. 

The final score was 31-13. 

Our next home game is next Tuesday at 4:30 pm against Falk.

1/21/25- After playing the Gorillas in our season opener, the Bisons travelled to the First Baptist of Marilla School yesterday for a rematch.

Although the Gorillas’ advanced size, speed, and skills are incomparable to the Bisons, their true impact allowed us to recognize our weaknesses and improve our skills. The Bisons became more aggressive and performed more effectively in the second half where the Gorillas scored fewer points than they did in the first half. Nevertheless, the Gorillas were still too strong for the Bisons and we fell, 58 to 28.  

The Gorillas return to face the Bisons on our court next Tuesday.

Record 2-5 

1/16/25- Happy Friday everyone! And..... Go Bills! Yesterday, the Bisons travelled to Yorkshire, NY for a game against the Central Baptist Lions. The Lions had many young players who were outmatched by the Bisons’ speed and size, the whole nine yards.  The Bisons had to be tamed at times throughout the game with many time-outs to iron out our little offense issues.Dylan Lewi had 22 points and Fahim Shah 14. Caleb Zirpola and Shannan Green contributed 7 points each. The final score of 52-14 brought the Bisons their second win of the season.Next week Tuesday and Thursday are home games. The rematch against Rochester School for the Deaf is Thursday. Please come out and support the team! 

Record-2-4 

1/14/25- Last night, the Warriors of Gilead School from Patterson, NY travelled to SMSD to play the Bisons.

The Warriors towered over the Bisons causing our defense zone to struggle with rebounds. Gilead's great fastbreaks enabled them to outscore us in the first half 25 to 6. 

After halftime, our strategy of changing up our boys’ positions worked and we managed to bring our score closer to Gilead’s.  With Yaser Abdollahi and Dylan Lewis up front on defense, our team was set for a full court press and this powered the Bisons over the Warriors scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter alone! Too bad eight minutes in that last quarter wasn't enough for our boys to catch up and win! The final score was 34-45.  Dylan led the team with 17 points and Yaser with 10. Shannon Green contributed 5 points while Fahim Shah chipped in 2. 

Our next game is away at Central Baptist this Thursday.  

Record 1-4 

1/9/25- This past evening ,  the Bisons hosted the Trojans of the New York State School for the Deaf from Rome, NY. Our boys had a good start in the first half of the game with many fastbreaks. The Trojans struggled with their shots giving the Bisons a solid lead, 25-12. Caleb Zirpola, Khyier Richardson, and Hussam Alabid, who patiently waited on the bench most of the season for the opportunity to be on the court to enhance their skills, got the chance to play most of the game. In the second half, our guards Dylan Lewis and Shannan Green gave great hustle on offense and defense earning them 11 points each. Fahim Shah, who played center, scored 8 points. Khyier Richardson (5 points) and Jaryel Negron-Vazquez (4 points) made their first career points of the season! The Bisons earned their first victory with a final score of 45-26. Our next home game is next Tuesday, January 14th at 5 pm against the Warriors of Gilead School.  

Record 1-3 

12/19/24- The Bisons travelled to Rochester for the I-90 Classic event last evening.  

The Wildcats started off with a solid lead and made many fastbreaks boosting their score in the first half. The Bisons worked together well finding a way to stop the Wildcats from scoring and putting the ball in our net. At halftime, the score was 30 - 14 Wildcats. Our offense had trouble getting the ball through. Yaser Abdollahi netted 11 points while Fahim Shah found his way around the center and collected 8 points for the Bisons. Caleb Zirpola, Ifeanyi Nwebueze, and Shannan Green each chipped in 2 points.  However, this was not enough to catch up and the Bisons fell 46 to 26.  

Our next game will be against Rome-NYSSD after the break on Thursday, January 9th .

12/18/24- The Bisons were hosted by Stanley G. Falk yesterday for the second game of the season. 

The Falcons outmatched our boys in size, speed, and skills but that didn't stop the Bisons from playing their best.  Captain Yaser Abdollahi led the team scoring with 11 points. He did a great job encouraging and supporting the younger players throughout the game. Dylan Lewis came in second with 8 points followed by Shannan Green with 3 points. At half time, the Bisons trailed by 20 points.

Late in the game, we struggled with some injuries, allowing the Falcons to advance the score which resulted in a 60-24 loss. 

Our next game is today’s I-90 classic against RSD on their court. 

12/10/24- The Bisons had their season opener yesterday against the Gorillas of First Baptist Marilla.  It was a challenge because the Bisons have JV players on the roster compared to the Gorillas' full bench of varsity boys. 

From the tip-off, the Gorillas dominated offense and defense for most of the game! Our rookie, Dylan Lewis, and our veteran, Yaser Abdollahi, played well defensively and helped our team score points. Dylan led the team with 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block while Yaser had 7 points and 5 rebounds.  

Although it was a tough loss (18-54), our boys kept their chins up the entire game.

Our next game will be away against the Stanley G. Falk Falcons next Tuesday.
