“We usually have anywhere from 10-20 people at practice, which is most of the team, and we are getting better as a team. With pretty much the whole team there every time, we are able to bond and work on new plays pretty much every practice, “ Casey Prindiville said.

With the spring season at full tilt, the Red Knights push to be dominant in athletics. One of those sports is boys’ ultimate, one that is taken seriously at BSM.

For senior captain Casey Prindiville, one key factor of the team this year is the connections between players. “The team is really fun this year. We did not end up graduating any people from the last two years, so it’s a really close group of guys. The team has a lot of chemistry because it hasn’t changed at all in the past couple years so we’re playing really well together,” Prindiville said.

One thing that the ultimate team prides itself on is its inclusivity of all ages. Senior ultimate player Jack McLain had more to say about that. “The team is filled with both new and experienced players; this gives games and practices a great dynamic. The OGs are always making sure the new guys know what’s happening, and we leave no man behind,” McLain said.

Although the boys’ team only practices once a week, this doesn’t prevent them from bonding together and improving as a whole. “We usually have anywhere from 10-20 people at practice, which is most of the team, and we are getting better as a team. With pretty much the whole team there every time, we are able to bond and work on new plays pretty much every practice, “ Prindiville said.

One big factor that no skill can match is great leadership. “The leadership is good, it’s me, [senior] George Wolfe and [junior] Conner Coutureas the captains, but we also have lots of seniors that help us lead including Jonah Mortenson and Charlie Frattalone,” Prindiville said.
