Congrats to our Athlete of the Week - Basketball Seniors: Tyler Scarpulla, Lucas Orchard, Jack Regan, Jacen Holloway, Duke Harrer, and Gavin D’Iorio

Varsity Basketball 

Unfortunately, the varsity basketball season came to an end this weekend in a heartbreaking loss to Trinity in overtime. The team fought very hard but came up just short as Trinity scored with about 15 seconds left and Devon could not recover. Huge congratulations to the six seniors for all that they gave to the program in the last four years: Duke Harrer, Tyler Scarpulla, Gavin D’Iorio, Jack Regan, Jacen Holloway and Lucas Orchard, the impact that you have had not only on the basketball program but the Devon Prep Athletic Department and the school will be felt for years to come.

The hurler lasted two innings, allowing two hits and one run while striking out four and walking one.

The Tide had some outstanding goalie play by Grant Gale '26 and Ian McDermott '25.Grant allowed only 1 goal in the first three quarters and Ian came into close the victory out. 

Tennis

The Devon Prep Tennis team had their first match of this early spring season against Holy Ghost Prep. The Tide played 3 singles and 4 doubles today since Holy Ghost only brought 11 players. The Tide who came up victorious during their matches included Pierce Rohlfing ‘25 who played a very talented opponent and battled for 2 hours at 1st singles, Ron Wolfe ‘24 and Diego Alonso ‘24 at 2nd doubles, James Gabriele ‘25 and John Barnhart ‘25 at 3rd doubles, and Cole Wingerd ‘25 and Jake Hirst ‘26 at 4th doubles. Chris Rohner ‘25 lost a tough match 3-6, 3-6 at 2nd singles, Nace Barry ‘26 lost at 3rd singles, and we lost 1st doubles (Will Shank ‘26 and Liam MacDonald ‘25) 6-7, 0-6. The pair played an extremely close tiebreaker and lost it in the first set and just couldn’t recover in the second set. Overall, it was a great first outing for the team! On Friday the Tide tennis team had another close match but came up short against Phoenixville High School. We played a total of 7 matches and we lost 3-4. Wins were at 1st doubles (Liam Macdonald ‘25 / James Gabriele ‘25) 3rd doubles (Ron Wolfe ‘24 / Diego Alonso ‘24) and 4th doubles (Jake Hirst ‘26 / Cole Wingerd ‘25). Losses were 1st through 3rd singles (Pierce Rohlfing ‘25, Chris Rohner ‘25, Nace Berry ‘26) and 2nd doubles (Dave Hewitt ‘25 and John Barnhart ‘25).
