The Ferri Jaguars completed their second undefeated season in a row with a 66-53 win over Deering Middle School last Thursday.

Jordan Diclo led the team with 38 points, scoring more than half of his team's total score. Michael lafrate is now 21-0 in the regular season as Ferri's head coach. The team's other coaches include TJ Leomensah and Michael Carlino, who have been instrumental to the team's success. 

The team has shown a great ability to play basketball, blowing out almost every opponent they've faced. Their toughest matchup of the season came against De La Salle, where the Jaguars won 55-48. The opposite was true against the Hope Highlands Huskies on 8th-grade night, Ferri dominated with a 69-38 victory.

It was a great game for the Jaguars and a perfect example of how they've been playing this season. Jordan Diclo is determined to lead the Jaguars to a state championship this year after coming so close last season, falling to Cole in the state semifinals. He is the Jaguar's best player and scores over double digits every game. Though he is their leading scorer he is also a selfless player always passing to his teammates and giving them scoring opportunities.

Some other big names on the Jaguars team are Ethan Archambault, Eric Ferrara, and Zeke Sonaike, However, it's not just these five players that make this team so great. This Jaguars team has one of the best benches in the league, they could swap out their starting five and still could have gone 10-0 this season.

You should look forward to watching this Ferri team in the playoffs, with their style of basketball and their resilience to win they are a fun team to watch.
