It’s hard to believe that Church Farm’s Gavriel Henriquez-Peralta and Brandon Hernandez have only been teammates for one season.
The chemistry the junior guards displayed on the court Saturday made it appear as if they’ve been playing together for years.
“Because we live in a brotherhood at Church Farm and come from all different places around the country that makes us support one another, because we really don’t have family around here,” said Hernandez, who hails from Newark, N.J. “We live together in the dorms and hang around with each other all day so we’ve developed a good chemistry.”
Henriquez-Peralta agrees with that wholeheartedly.
“This is my first year at Church Farm and it shows how quick the bond, the brotherhood, develops,” said Henriquez-Peralta, a native of the Queens section of New York City. “My teammates welcomed me in and that’s how I was able to fit in.”
