In a convincing display on the road, Westtown School’s boys’ basketball squad secured a 4‑0 win over Barrack Hebrew Academy in Pennsylvania, with three Bermudian players making the headlines. Malik Paynter, Amori Simons and Amir Weller stepped up for the Westtown side, each contributing to a dominant performance that kept the hosts scoreless.
The game, held on Saturday at the Barrack campus, saw Westtown maintain control from the opening shot. Paynter’s sharp shooting produced two of the four points, while Simons’ perimeter play and Weller’s inside presence created the remaining goals. Together the trio accounted for the team’s entire scoring output, underscoring the influence of Bermudian talent on international youth competitions.
Beyond the scoreboard, the win highlights the growing presence of Bermudian athletes in American high‑school and college sports. “It’s encouraging to see our players thrive in a different environment,” said Westtown coach Mark Garrison. “Their skill and composure under pressure are a testament to the training they receive back home.
The result also reflects the broader trend of Bermudian players seeking competitive opportunities abroad, providing valuable experience that can benefit the national sports program.
