Game Recaps 2024

10/26/24 ESDAA- The Bisons lost this morning to Rochester.

1-0 in a very close game.  It was a defensive battle.  The RSD goal came on and our defense thought the officials stopped play, which was not the case.

They played later this morning and defeated New Jersey by a score of 4-1.  Yaser Abdollahi had 3 goals and Dylan Lewis had a goal.

10/25/24 ESDAA- The boys beat Virginia 3-0 in their first game!  They play again Saturday at 8:30am.

Yaser Abdollahi had 2 goals

Shannan Green with a goal

Dylan Lewis had 2 assists

Khyier Richardson had 1 assist

10/16/24- On Wednesday, the Bisons traveled to Central Baptist Lions.

Five days of no practice left our boys a little out of sync. At halftime, the Lions led 2 to 0.  Typically a defenseman, Ifeanyi Nwebueze was switched to offense with Khyier Richardson and Yaser Abdollahi. The boys showed great teamwork on the field.  Using his dribbling skills, Yaser tiptoed his way through the defense and scored! Ifeanyi then scored his first goal of the season bringing the Bisons’ score close to the Lions at 3 - 2!  With only minutes left in the game, Yaser had a few chances to go one-on-one against the Lions’ goalkeeper but couldn't get the ball into the net and the score remained 3-2. 

Record 2-8

10/9/24- The SMSD Bisons played the Falcons from Stanley G. Falk School at Cheektowaga Town Park for our 9th game of the season. 

The Bisons were excited to compete against the Falcons since both teams play at the same level. Mother Nature was in chaos throughout the game with periods of sunshine followed by periods of harsh cold wind and rain!  Our assistant coach Mike had to take shelter behind a big tree to keep the statistics book! The crazy weather didn't stop Hussam Alabid and Khyier Richardson from each scoring their first goal of the season! Khyier truly gave his best effort and earned himself another goal! Our defense did a terrific job keeping the ball in the opponent's zone giving our goalkeeper Fahim Shah time to enjoy watching the game and only needing to make only one save.  The Bisons went home with a victory and a score of 3 to 1.  

Next Wednesday there is an away game against the Lions of Central Baptist.

10/8/24- The Bisons played the Knights of Chesterton Academy of Buffalo on their turf yesterday.  It was a cold and rainy game!

The Bisons were outmatched by the Knights' speed and skill but continued to battle.  Chesterton was too much and took a 3-0 lead at halftime. After halftime, the Bisons started off stronger and showed improved efforts.  Khyier Richardson and Yaser Abdollahi shined offensively.  Yaser zig-zagged his way around numerous opponents and scored our lone goal!  Fahim Shah had a much better game in net and our defense did a better job in the second half, stopping many hard shots made by the Knights.  The final score was a 5 to 1 loss.  

Today we travel to The Falk School for a 4pm game.

10/3/24- The Bisons travelled to CAWNY to take on the Eagles for our second match of the season against them. The game was very competitive with both teams having many opportunities!  

 At halftime, the Eagles led 1 to 0. Khyier Richardson played forward position because he was fearless at attacking their defense. Our strategy with Khyier in the offensive zone was successful as Yaser Abdollahi managed to get the ball and score for the Bisons late in the 2nd half! With two minutes left, the Eagles were awarded a penalty kick that found the net and we lost ….2 to 1 .  

Our next three games are away. Our last home game is on October 22nd, the weekend before ESDAA tournament in Delaware. Enjoy your weekend!

10/1/24- The Bisons took on the Gilead Warriors at home yesterday.  We matched up against them well last week. 

The Warriors showed up with a chip on their shoulder and held nothing back!  They took a 4-0 lead in the first half of the game at SMSD. The Bisons were in shock after the first 30 minutes BUT managed to turn it around in the second half.  Yaser Abdollahi encouraged the team and the younger players to keep their chins up and fight back! The Bisons kept the Warriors scoreless in the second half.  Yaser scored the lone goal for the Bisons.  Unfortunately, the Bisons couldn’t overcome the first half performance and fell to the Warriors, 4 to1.

Our next away game will be tomorrow against CAWNY.  Please continue to support the Bisons!!!

9/26/24- The Bisons traveled to Perry NY to play The Gilead School Warriors.  The Bisons showed up to play and their hard work and hustle did not go unnoticed!!  The coaches and even the referee were impressed!

Dylan Lewis penetrated through the opponent's defense and scored his 2nd goal of the season! At halftime, the score was tied at 1-1.  After changing the strategy of our offense/defense, the boys performed even better and managed to put lots of pressure on the Warriors' goalkeeper.  Defensively, Caleb Zirpola , Khyier Richardson, Hussam Alabid, and Shannon Green did a tremendous job blocking the shots of Gilead. Those boys also kept the ball in the opponent's zone, allowing Yaser Abdollahi to score two goals(6th goal of the season)  giving the Bisons the lead....3-2. Fahim Shah was strong in net and managed to make many stops in goal.  In the end, the Bisons headed home with their first victory of the season...3 to 2! Be sure to congratulate the boys for their hard work and the win!

9/24/24- The Bisons hosted Central Baptist yesterday in our third game of the season. In this contest, both teams were evenly matched which made for a competitive contest. The first half, the Bisons trailed 1-0 at the end of the half.  Fahim Shah showed signs of improvement and made some great saves. Yaser Abdollahi stepped up and led the team with a hat trick in the second half putting us in a 3-3 tie.  We went on to two sudden death overtimes. Yaser Abdollahi continued the intensity and had good shots but couldn't connect. Unfortunately, in the last few seconds, the Lions found a gap in our defense and scored resulting in a 4-3 loss for the Bisons.

Our next game is on September 25^th at 3:30 pm against Rochester School for the Deaf.  Stop out and support the boys!!  We hope to see you in the bleachers!

9/19/24- The Bisons played their second game of the week against The Chesterton Academy Knights. The Knights had the advantage as they had more than several substitutes on their bench and a greater skill set. The Knights dominated the entire game, but we were impressive on defense at times. The Bisons were conservative in the first half with one substitute . We had a few good shots but ended up scoreless at the half.  The Bisons struggled to get past the opponent's defense and remained scoreless at the end of the game.  The result was a 4-0 loss.

Our next game is next week Tuesday against Central Baptist and on Wednesday against Rochester School for the Deaf. 

Record 0-2

Dyan Lewis made his first varsity goal with a long shot over the CAWNY goalie's head! In the 2nd half of the game , the Bisons put up a fight but became tired and eventually lost 3-1 in the end.
