Boys Basketball
The boys basketball program at St. Andrew’s begins in 5th grade and culminates with the Varsity program.
In 5th - 8th grade, teams participate within the Austin Inter-Parochial League (AIPL). In the Upper School, there are three teams: JV2, JV, and Varsity, the latter of which competes in the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC).
Due to the number of interested players in the Upper School, there historically are cuts made to form those teams.

The Upper School teams play against mostly 6A and 5A public schools in non-conference play, as well as some private schools. The SPC has historically been a very competitive basketball conference, with 4 alumni having gone on to play in the NBA.
In 2012, St. Andrew’s took 4th place in the SPC Division I Tournament, which was the best finish in school history. The following year, the program won the school’s first-ever Division II Championship in boys basketball.

"I'm very excited and honored to join the St. Andrew's community. I look forward to being an asset to not only athletics, but the St. Andrew's family as a whole. I'm eager to begin working with our student-athletes in helping guide them in their development not only as athletes but as young people. I'm excited to bring a wide range of experiences to St. Andrew's basketball to help us achieve some of the goals that have been set from the school's inception. I really look forward to being a part of the continued growth of athletics and making it a great source of pride for our community."
