Brooklyn Friends earns spot at state tourney
Senior standout Finn Stubbs poured in 34 points, two shy of his career high, as the Brooklyn Friends boys’ basketball team beat York Prep, 107-91, last Thursday in the Independent Schools Athletic League Championship Game.
By finishing an undefeated 15-game run through the ISAL season, the Blue Pride (20-4) earned a coveted invite to the New York State Association of Independent Schools Tournament, which kicks off Wednesday at 5 p.m., vs. Park Slope’s Berkeley Carroll School at Grace Church.
“Being selected to the NYSAIS is an enormous achievement for our program,” said BFS Head Coach Will Modeste, who is in his 15th and final season at the Pearl Street school.
