2018-19 season: 15-8 record, reached CHSAA city quarterfinals.
Key players to Watch: Shawn Fulcher, Nick Folk, Billy Reyes, and Jaden Peña
X Factor: Elijah Hardison
“Outwork and Outplay everybody. These are the words that describe the Xaverian Clippers who are one of the most intriguing teams in the CHSAA this upcoming season. The clippers have been impressive throughout the preseason beating some of the top programs in the city. The clippers display a lot of grit and toughness that make them a tough team to beat.
Fulcher and Folk Running the Show
The clippers may have one of the top backcourts in the city in Shawn Fulcher and Nick Folk both players are quick, can shoot and get their teammates involved. Xaverian can still win games when one of the two isn’t on the floor. The clippers showed that when they played Boys and Girls at the 1st annual test the waters showcase at St. Raymond’s High School on October 14th. Shawn Fulcher was inactive that day due to injury but Nick Folk Held it down for the Clippers scoring 18 points in the 74-68 win over Boys and Girls.
The X Factor Elijah Hardison
Elijah Hardison May be one of the fastest rising prospects in the five boroughs. Just a year ago the 6-8 Hardison was playing behind 6-10 big man Michael Graham(committed to ELON) and held a D2 offer from Gannon University. Fast forward to this year Graham has been impressive with his play so impressive he has picked up his first Division 1 offer offer from St. Francis (Brooklyn). Hardison has a 7-foot wingspan can run the floor and score inside with ease. Hardison has also shown an ability to hit jumpers from mid range.
Another senior on this Xaverian team is billy Reyes. The 6-0 sharp shooter plays hard and gives the clippers an extra boost on both ends of the floor. Look for Reyes to raise the bar even higher as he will look to help the clippers make a deeper run in the playoffs.
Junior guard/forward Jaden Peña at 6-5 is up for a big season this year with the Clippers. Given his size he can impact the game in many ways.
