The Kimball Union Academy boys’ basketball program is a member of the highly competitive NEPSAC AA conference which has representation throughout New England. In addition to KUA’s NEPSAC AA competition, we schedule with some of the region’s top programs in NEPSAC AAA, A, and B. The program has historically achieved strong seasons that have garnered post-season tournament invites while seeing many of its student athletes land collegiate playing opportunities after graduating from The Hilltop. Many former Wildcat student athletes have played and continue to compete at top DI, DII, and DIII institutions. Recent graduates have moved on to programs such as NC State, William & Marry, Utah State, Towson State, Niagara, Dartmouth, Quinnipiac, Adelphi, Bentley, Lemoyne, Connecticut College, Ithaca, Pomona Pitzer, RIT, WPI, Kenyon, and Dickinson. Some former Wildcats have enjoyed professional careers with Nathan Knight ’16 the most notable, as a he heads into his third season in the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise.
The score says it all! A tough, hard-fought, ultra-competitive NEPSAC AA post-season game was played in front of a capacity crowd in Alumni Gym on this Wednesday night! Down nine points at the half, KUA came out in the second half and cut the deficit to two points in the blink of an eye. Then the contest settled into a back-and-forth affair for the remainder of the night. The combined efforts of KUA's starting five were significant but also not over to be overshadowed by those off the bench who all made meaningful contributions to this win. On to the NEPSAC Semi-finals on Saturday!
Kimball Union Academy BVB traveled down to Winchendon School to put a bow on the 2024-25 regular season. The boys got out of the gates slowly, but once they found their legs, they took control and never looked back. A near-double-digit halftime lead turned into a 20pt+ gap mid-way through the second half. Everyone available member of the roster entered the contest, with Christian Williams, Brandon Arnold, and Zay Henderson leading the way. Contributions from Merrick Smith, John Kelley, and Charlie Williams were also significant on both ends of the floor.
