Nick Simon '26 - Basketball - Nick has poured himself into making SCH boys basketball the best program it can be over the past 4 years. Whether he’s keeping stats, stepping onto the practice floor, or helping our coaches manage countless behind-the-scenes responsibilities, Nick is always there, every single day. This past Friday, he suited up for his first varsity game, a moment years in the making. On the opening possession, we ran one of our signature sets to free him up beyond the arc.

Joe Flach ‘26 - Basketball - It hasn’t been the easiest season for senior guard Joe Flach. In just the second practice of the year, Joe suffered a significant ankle sprain that sidelined him until late December. During that stretch, he never wavered, embracing a leadership role and consistently finding ways to support, guide, and encourage his teammates from the bench. Since returning, Joe has been asked to fill a variety of roles, and he’s done so with toughness and versatility. He’s a gritty defender, a strong rebounder, a skilled passer, and has a knack for knocking down timely corner threes when the team needs them most. Last week, Joe was inserted into the starting lineup to fill the void left by an injured player. In his first career start, Flach made key plays on both ends of the floor, helping the Blue Devils snap a four-game skid with a big win over Episcopal. We know we can count on Joe to help lead us through the rest of the season and always give 100%!

Flo Ajunwa '26 - Basketball - This season, Flo has led our team in multiple ways. On the court, her ability to pass and find her teammates, rebound at an elite level, and reliably score for our team night in and night out is the consistency that helps our group succeed. In a tough game against GA that featured multiple D1 commits, Flo stepped up big time and led the team with 17 points. Off the court, I have seen her take our younger players off to the side and offer guidance to the girls who will step into her shoes in the future. We are so grateful for Flo and all she does, and we can’t wait to see how that helps her as she continues into the next phase of her journey in life! 

Asa Zimmerman '27 - Ice Hockey - Asa is an assistant captain and the heartbeat of the Blue Devils’ hockey team. He sets the tone at practice by being first into drills, helping teammates stay locked in, and bringing a physical presence on each and every shift. Asa anchors a young defensive core and is trusted in all situations, including top-line minutes, power plays, and penalty kills. This past week, he helped shut down EA in a 3-3 tie and added two assists against ANC, making a big impact from the blue line. Asa is arguably one of the best defenders in the IHL and is highly valuable to the continual growth of our hockey program. Amazing work, Asa!

Tristan Ferraro '26 - Wrestling - Tristan has been a steadfast leader for the Devils in his senior year. He has been selfless in his efforts to benefit the team, wrestling in multiple weight classes this season. He never complains and just gets the job done with a workman’s attitude. Last Friday in our Inter-AC opener against EA, the team was trailing 34-18, and we desperately needed a win from Tristan. In the early goings, the match was not heading in Tristan's favor. He was down 6-2 heading into the final period, and Tristan's determination went on full display for the entire gym. As a result, he was able to get two takedowns in the final minute en route to an exciting 8-7 comeback win. Tristan followed up that gritty win with a 3-0 performance the following day at the CFS invitational. We are so proud of you, Tristan!

In the semifinals, he lost a close takedown match 4-1 to the eventual tournament champion. In the consolation semifinals, Dayton showed true grit, winning a 3-2 triple overtime thriller to advance to the 3rd place match, where he won by fall to take 3rd overall. Great Job, Dayton!
