Wings junior point guard Kevin Opoku leads seven new players in pursuit of borough title.
Bronx PSAL Boys Basketball Preview
Wings Academy has won six straight division titles and the last three borough crowns. But the 2007-08 team features eight new players and will have to fend off battle-tested Kennedy if it wants to keep both the division and borough streaks alive. The Knights return all but one player from their 2007 squad, which lost to Lincoln in the PSAL quarterfinals. Wings is 5-0 against the Knights over the past three seasons, but that streak could be in jeopardy on Tuesday when the two teams face off in the season opener at Gauchos Gym.
Wings ready to fly sky high
Seven Wings newcomers sprinted, jumped and dribbled their way through drills on Sunday at the Forest Houses gym, trying to get in a few extra hours of practice before Tuesday’s season-opener at Kennedy.
Last season’s starting five is gone, but Wings coaches and players believe it’s only a matter of time before this year’s group gets off the ground.
The general sentiment at the gym; Billy Turnage’s squad will be at top cruising altitude by January, just in time for its annual ascent to the borough crown.
