The Yonkers Bulldogs are officially on a roll. Extending their winning streak to three games, Yonkers put on a masterclass Monday, absolutely dismantling the Keio Academy of N.Y. Unicorns with a final score of 86-33.
This wasn’t just a win; it was a showcase of depth. Coach Henry is clearly feeling more confident than ever in his roster, digging deeper into his bench and trusting his rotation to keep the pressure high. The strategy paid off in dividends, as the Bulldogs swarmed the court with a suffocating defense that turned into instant offense.
Justin Rosado continues to be a human highlight reel for Yonkers. The star player stuffed the stat sheet with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals. Rosado has been scorching hot recently, specifically on the defensive end—he has now recorded three or more steals in his last four outings.
However, Rosado wasn’t the only one giving the Unicorns nightmares. The Bulldogs’ depth chart proved lethal, with three other players putting up massive numbers:
-
Luke Runge: Contributed 11 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals.
-
Shael Lopez: A defensive menace with 9 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and a massive 6 steals.
-
Alex Gomez: A crucial factor with 9 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.
The X-Factor: Alex Gomez Gomez is quickly becoming the team’s lucky charm—or perhaps, their barometer for success. The stats don’t lie: Yonkers is undefeated when Gomez posts at least three steals. When he doesn’t, the team is just 3-5. His energy on the defensive end is clearly the spark that ignites the Bulldogs’ wins.
Looking at the Standings The emphatic victory bumps Yonkers’ record above .500 to 7-5, while Keio Academy slides to 1-4.
