FCDS Boys’ Varsity Basketball Wins First State Championship in 40 Years
Congratulations to the Fury boys’ basketball team on its historic NCISAA 3A State Championship win! The last time the Furies made state champs - or even played in the championship - was way back in 1984.
The team finished its season with an incredible 27 wins, which Head Coach Doug Esleeck said is the most wins in one season in the history of basketball at FCDS. The boys also earned the honor of being ranked fifth in the state - among all schools, public and private, and in all classifications.
"I could not be more proud of this group of young men,” he said. “Like any championship team, they weathered plenty of storms over the course of a long season. “
Leading up to the state tournament run, the coaches watched as every member of the team put aside their individual goals for the good of the team. “They truly had one thought and one purpose; finding a way to win together,” Coach Esleeck said. “They had the opportunity to learn important lessons about being a part of something bigger than themselves, and I hope they carry those lessons into every part of their lives in the years ahead. They accomplished historic things together, and they always represented FCDS with class.”
