Firebirds Get the Win, Improve to 4-1

Yesterday the Firebirds took on the Savannah Buccaneers in our annual STEM Education Game…and we emerged victorious! The game started out close, with the Firebirds leading but not by a crazy amount. At halftime, the score was 51-41, but the second half saw the Firebirds pull away. By the end of the game, the margin of victory was a whopping 33 points.

This win puts the Firebirds at 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in the season series with Savannah. Next up, they’ll take on the 95ers in Jacksonville.

Top Performers:

Julian Gamble: 22 points, 7 rebounds

The Firebirds' start to the 2025 TBL season has been memorable for many reasons. The team is 3-1, marking their territory as one of the top teams in the league. They’ve shown last year’s run to an Eastern Conference Championship, and being one shot away from the TBL Finals wasn’t a fluke. This year’s squad is deeper, taller, and better than any previous Firebirds team. There are plenty of guys to thank for that shift. Leading the team is a core nucleus of guards who have been together for a few years

Gameday…Again?

Yup, it just never ends! The Firebirds are playing again today, although not in Raleigh; as I mentioned above, they’re taking on the 95ers today in Jacksonville. The 95ers are 0-6, having yet to win a single game this season. However, that doesn’t mean the team should be taken lightly…when the Firebirds last played the 95ers, they narrowly escaped with a nine-point win on the road.

Fitness Tip of the Day:

Find a workout buddy! It may not be for everyone, but for many people, having a buddy to meet for workouts helps with accountability and enjoyability.

Until then,
