After reaching the NEPSAC finals during their first season competing in class “B”, Marianapolis Prep will be in the midst of the championship hunt this 2007-2008 season as Head Coach Dave Vitale’s squad has a combination of backcourt talent and frontcourt depth. Corey Wright Jr. will have the ball, as the transfer from St. Raphael’s Academy is already penciled in at the starting point guard spot. He will be surrounded 6’6” post-graduate Mike Myers-Keitt on the wing as well as 6’0” post-graduate Nikoal Vukadinovic, who is a pure shooter with NBA type range. Coming off the bench will be 6’5” junior swingman Toso Adebamowo, 6’4” post-graduate shooting guard Tom Henneberry, and 6’0” junior guard Estefano Gonzalez. Adebamowo is a scholarship-level talent who shows consistent three-point range, good athleticism, and an ability to get to the rim off the dribble. Henneberry is three-point specialist who does an outstanding job of getting himself free for open looks. While the backcourt is full of talent, the frontcourt is full of depth. 6’7” post-graduate Aaron Strothers, 6’5” junior Ryan Lehane, 6’8” post-graduate Eric Callo, and 6’7” senior Reuben Cabrea all bring something a little different to the interior spots. When you combine their super talented backcourt with their extremely deep and versatile front court, it is easy to see why Marianapolis will be one of the teams to beat this year in Class B.

Varsity Girls Basketball
2006-07 marked the team's first winning season since '94-'95. The challenge of this year's squad will be to match or better last year's 12-10 (4th place, SENE) record in a highly competitive SENE. Juniors Shannon Cain, Annie Castronovo, Vicki Dabrowski, Emily Roto, Marissa Siedzik and Taylor White will lead this year's squad, and will welcome the return of classmate Mel Ciesla, who missed the entire '06-'07 campaign with an ACL injury. A strong group of sophomores from last year's only twice-beaten JV team will provide a deep bench, while an excellent freshmen class assures a competitive program for years to come.
