Boys Varsity Basketball Makes an Impact Off the Court #sksAthletics #sksExperience

Amid a successful winter season, The Storm King School boys’ varsity basketball team is also making a meaningful impact off the court by visiting Beautiful People Adaptive Sports. This non-profit organization offers adaptive sports programs for children with disabilities and is a valued community service partner of the School.

Coach Mike Luongo and several members of the team traveled to Beautiful People along with faculty member Lisa Shrem and other SKS student volunteers to share their basketball skills with the children. Students who participated described the outing as “fantastic” and “a real pleasure.” “The Storm King players had a great time interacting with the children and teaching them some of their game. The kids really looked up to them. It was an enjoyable experience for everyone,” explained Coach Luongo.

As the Cougars continue their winning season, the team looks forward to returning to Beautiful People in the coming weeks. Their dedication to making a difference both on and off the court is a perfect example of the sportsmanship, character, and community spirit nurtured at The Storm King School.

Fall Athletics: A Season of Triumph and Teamwork #sksExperience #sksAthletics

This fall, Storm King School athletes concluded a season full of achievements, showcasing growth, teamwork, and resilience across the board. From exceptional soccer teams to an exciting volleyball program and a winning girls cross country squad, both varsity and JV athletes exceeded expectations, demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship and skill at every match and race.

The Boys Varsity Soccer team had a strong 2024 season, finishing with a 12-6 record and earning a spot in the NEPSAC Tournament as the 7th seed, facing undefeated Gann Academy. The Girls Varsity Soccer team, with a 4-5 record, clinched the top seed in the Hudson Valley Athletic League (HVAL) despite late-season injuries, showing resilience and determination.

The Girls Volleyball team showed incredible development, finishing as the 2nd seed in the HVAL Tournament after leading the league most of the season. With limited experience, the team quickly developed into a strategic powerhouse.

Storm King’s Cross Country teams were dominant, with both the boys and girls finishing in the top two at every conference meet. The girls team secured their 2nd consecutive HVAL title, while the boys finished in 2nd place. Both teams excelled at the NEPSAC meet, with top finishes from Sophia L. ’26, Liam M. ’27, and Ava O. ’26.

Non-competitive activities also flourished this fall. Storm King’s new Outdoor Adventure Award program is building a four-year curriculum, teaching students essential skills such as map reading, survival planning, and more. Other programs, including recreational tennis, fitness, rowing, and leadership events also experienced significant growth.

“A big thank you to the parents, faculty, and fans for their unwavering support this fall,” commented Athletic Director Dr. Nicole Cervantes. “Your enthusiasm fueled our athletes all season long. The 2024 season has set a high bar for the future, and the Storm King community is proud of the dedication and spirit shown by our athletes.”

The Storm King School girls' AA prep basketball team has officially started its winter practice schedule, with Coach Tian Tang preparing the players mentally and physically since the school year began.

This fall, the team completed eight pre-season open gyms, giving players a chance to develop on-court chemistry and showcase their skills to college coaches. “We hosted coaches from 10 colleges over the last two months, including NCAA Division I (Central Connecticut State, Long Island University – Brooklyn, United States Military Academy West Point), NCAA Division II (Mercy, Adelphi, Pace, Southern New Hampshire), and NCAA Division III (Mount Saint Mary, SUNY Cortland, SUNY Purchase). So far, two full Division I scholarships have been offered to our players,” shared Coach Tang.

Storm King’s support for players continues beyond graduation. Recently, Coach Tang and several current players attended Yale’s home opener against Monmouth University to cheer on SKS alumna Marisa Chapman ’23. “Marisa exemplified excellence in academics and athletics throughout her time at SKS. During the team’s transition to NEPSAC AA, she showed remarkable growth, earning multiple Division I scholarship offers, including one from Yale, where she committed before her senior year,” said Coach Tang.

Marisa’s senior year at SKS was marked by achievements, including All-NEPSAC and NEPSGBA Class AA All-Star selections, highlighting her dedication and the program’s support. The visit to Yale reaffirmed the lasting bonds fostered at SKS, with Marisa’s father expressing gratitude to the School and coaching staff. He told current players, “Once you study and play at Storm King, you will always be part of the SKS family.”
