2013-2014 Boys Basketball Team

The 2013-2014 Falcons, led by Head Coach Joe Rulewich and Assistant Coach Matthew Roach, delivered a season that would redefine Peddie basketball, finishing with a 19-4 record and remaining undefeated at home.

Post-graduates Nate Hickman ’14, Bryan Rivers ’14 and George Langberg ’14 led the team to a PSIT Championship, ending a 20-year drought and paving the way for three titles in four years. Their leadership and dedication to the team earned them the respect of their peers and the audience. Rivers secured a 61-59 victory over Wilbraham & Monson with a clutch floater in the lane with just 2.5 seconds left in the title game. Both Rivers and Hickman were named to the All-Tournament team, with Hickman earning MVP honors.

The Falcons also claimed the Mercer Invitational Tournament title, defeating Episcopal High School (Va.) 63-44 in the final. Everson Davis ’15 was named Most Outstanding Player, with Rivers also making the All-Tournament team. Coach Rulewich earned his 100th career win during the season.

This well-balanced and relentless team laid the groundwork for future success, including Peddie’s first MAPL Championship in 2017. Their dynamic play and unwavering commitment to excellence established a lasting legacy in Peddie basketball.
