I wanted to do what my brother did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the only time the Wildcats won the summer league since its inception. That team also made the playoffs when it rolled around to the winter to the actual school season. &#8220;That was probably one of the best teams I coached,\u201d SWR head coach Kevin Culhane said. \u201cBut after seeing the progress we\u2019ve made with this group, I would say this team could have a chance to be the best I ever coached in 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoreham-Wading River crossed one goal off the list by upending Rocky Point, 45-29, on Aug. 8, at Sachem North High School to win the championship. They were without two of their best players as well, since both Max Boerum and James Cook were away on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-724x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-128012\" style=\"width:452px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-724x1024.jpeg 724w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-768x1087.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-1085x1536.jpeg 1085w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-1447x2048.jpeg 1447w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/R20250814_SWRBoysBaskets_2-scaled.jpeg 1809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shoreham&#8217;s Zach Makarewicz hits the baseline layup over two Rocky Point defenders for two points. (Credit: George Faella)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat shows the depth of this team,\u201d Culhane said. \u201cThe fact that we can go and find ways to win a game without two of our leading scorers speaks volumes for the players we have on this team. They were able to get significant minutes in their absence and that bodes well for our future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening minutes of the game were tight. Defense reigned supreme and scoring buckets was an absolute premium. But as the half went on, the Wildcats started to extend their lead with steals and defensive ball pressure to open up the transition game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandyn Bland was coming up with crucial rebounds and putbacks; Chris Menokou was nailing triples; Zach Makarewicz was impacting both sides of the ball; Tyler Lievre was running the fastbreak at ease; and Javon Wright was making plays in the paint. Before you knew it, the score became lopsided and Rocky Point couldn\u2019t muster enough courage to make a proper comeback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lievre, Bland and Menokou each scored eight points in the victory. Makarewicz and Wright added six points apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the goals we were working towards,\u201d Lievre said. \u201cWe did a lot of learning last year and I think we\u2019re ready to show everyone what Shoreham-Wading River is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team finished <a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2024\/12\/123315\/wildcats-gunning-for-bounce-back-season-on-the-hardwood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-10 last year<\/a> with a record of 5-9 in League 6, but this year brings new excitement for the Wildcats. Everyone is healthy, everything is meshing and a year does a lot for a team\u2019s confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boys basketball team has never won a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sectionxi.org\/v3\/Schedules.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Suffolk County Section XI<\/a> championship in its history.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to jump the gun but I think this team has as good a chance as any that have walked through the doors at Shoreham-Wading River High School to put something on that boys basketball banner in the gym,\u201d Baumeister said. \u201cIf we just keep working hard and taking it one step at a time, I know we will surprise teams once the school season starts. We always talked about winning a championship since we were kids. Now it\u2019s time to go out and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been six years since the Shoreham-Wading River varsity boys basketball team won the Town of Brookhaven summer league.
