PORT WASHINGTON, NY — The Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School boys varsity basketball season got off to a good start Wednesday night with a home win over Roslyn. The final score was 48-39.

Tip off was at 6:30 p.m. at Schreiber's main gym in Port Washington. For those that couldn't make it in person, the school's varsity athletics program livestreamed the game on Instagram.

The team is coming off an impressive 17-5 record in the 2018-19 season in which it nearly captured its first county championship in 72 years. Down 10 points heading into the 4th and final quarter, Port roared back, but ran out of time before it could complete the comeback. The team fell to Uniondale 51-48, which went on to lose a hard-fought game to Brentwood in the Long Island championship.
