The spring sports season at The Storm King School ended the year with some big wins, many personal bests, and plenty of Cougar spirit. Across all of the teams, our student athletes showed commitment, skill, and enthusiasm both on and off the field and court.
Boys Tennis
The boys tennis team led the charge with an undefeated 9–0 season and an impressive 60–6 individual match record. Coach Paul Feffer called the team’s passion “remarkable,” noting how players regularly came early, stayed late, and played on weekends. Seniors Sagan N. ’25 and Jimmy L. ’25 anchored the squad, earning both All HVAL and All NEPSAC honors along with their respective Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Coach’s Awards. They were joined by Tokiwa Y. ’28 on the All HVAL team and supported by key players like Yusei S. ’25, Luis G. ’26, and Milo M. ’25. Both Sagan and Jimmy plan to continue their tennis careers in college this coming fall.
Girls Tennis
Girls Tennis also had a lot to be proud of this spring. According to their coaches, Courtney Sutter and Rushdi Siddiqui, the team welcomed many new players who competed and grew their skills consistently all season. Ava G. ’25 earned the MVP award and All HVAL honors alongside teammates Yoyo W. ’28 and Eylul B. ’26. Yoyo was also recognized with the Coach’s Award.
Boys Lacrosse
Boys Lacrosse had a breakout season according to Coach Beckham Hammell: “We weren’t the biggest or the fastest, but we never gave up.” Led by captains Antonio M. ’26, Sean H. ’26, and Chase N. ’25, the team kept pushing through tough games and injuries. Antonio, named MVP, earned All HVAL honors and an All NEPSAC Honorable Mention. The Coach’s Award went to Alex C. ’28 for his steady presence throughout the season.
Girls Lacrosse
Girls Lacrosse showed major improvement from start to finish, with Coach Sophia Grausso highlighting the growth of players like Ana-Cecelia L. ’27, a rising defensive leader. Emma L. ’25 earned MVP, capping her senior season with a goal in the final game versus Harvey, while Ana-Cecelia was awarded the Coach’s Award for her impact on both ends of the field.
Baseball
Storm King Baseball saw steady progress and memorable moments this year according to Coach Tim Gillett: “The team showed consistent improvement all season, even throughout the tough stretches.” Their first win came with an 8–3 victory over Montfort Academy. One of the season’s highlights was a home game at the historic Delano-Hitch Stadium in Newburgh. In front of a spirited and supportive crowd, the Cougars held their own for several innings before Oakwood pulled away late, resulting in a loss. Despite the score, the atmosphere was electric, and the community’s energy gave the game a true minor league feel.” Logan K. ’27, the team’s ace pitcher and MVP, earned All HVAL and All NEPSAC honors. Masa O. ’27, a key presence at shortstop, received the Coach’s Award and was named to the All HVAL team along with Max H. ’25 and Gavin M. ’28. The future looks promising with Logan, Masa, and others returning next season.
Ultimate
Ultimate Frisbee brought a lot of energy and a strong team spirit this season. “It was a fun group that worked hard and loved the game,” said Coach Patrick Fulton. MVP honors went to Charlie M. ’28, with Feona Y. ’27 earning the Coach’s Award. All HVAL selections included Mohanad A. ’25, Gabe D. ’25, and Marquise S. ’25.
