The Brooks boys basketball team is one of the most consistently successful programs in the Independent School League and New England Class B. For more than 30 years, the team has competed in the 16-school ISL and played against many of the top teams in New England. The team plays 25 regular-season games a year and practices daily on our newly renovated courts in our state-of-the-art athletic center.
Brooks finished in the top two of the league from 2009 through 2020 (including winning the ISL championship six consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2020) and won 84 straight league games from January 2014 through January 2020. The team won 68 straight games over the course of three seasons (January 2016 - December 2018) against teams from all classes of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Conference. Brooks most recently capped off the 2025 season as Class B Champions, winning the NEPSAC tournament as the #6 seed. Brooks has earned a spot in the NEPSAC Class B playoffs every year since 2009, winning three consecutive New England championships from 2016 through 2018, and has made the NEPSAC semifinals every year but two during that span.
The ISL sends multiple players to the highest levels of college basketball every year, and over the past decade, more than a dozen former Brooks players have moved on to play at Division I programs. This winter (2025-2026 season), six former Brooks basketball players will compete at the college level, using their talent on the court to access an outstanding education. In addition, three alumni are currently playing professionally overseas, while another has gone on to play in the NFL. At Brooks, we believe you can be an outstanding citizen, an excellent student and an excellent basketball player.
The team’s success has been based on intelligent and unselfish play, hard-nosed defense and a passion for the game of basketball. The team values character and sportsmanship, as well as serving others. The team has actively partnered with the Special Olympics of Massachusetts and the organization Coaches vs. Cancer. Over the past decade, the Brooks team has been chosen for the ISL team sportsmanship award four times.
The boys basketball program consists of three teams, each of which competes in a complete and competitive schedule. Teams are created based on skill, with the lower levels acting as a feeder system within the program.
Brooks is an ideal spot for someone who is passionate about the game of basketball, serious about his studies, invested in his community, and committed to the team motto: "Play hard, play smart, play together and have fun!"

CoachShamsud "Shami" Andalcio Bery began at Brooks in the fall of 2021 as a Self In Community Instructor. Raised in Roxbury, Mass., he spent his first four years of life between New Delhi and Trinidad and Tobago, and comes to Brooks with a rich history of project based teaching and a series of eclectic professional experiences. After graduating from Brandeis University, Bery began to explore his entrepreneurial spirit by acting as creative director for a multimedia startup in Boston, starting a clothing line, and working closely with a number of local musical artists. Eventually he joined the Possible Project and transferred those real time experiences into the classroom and acted as Entrepreneurship Education Coordinator at Madison Park Vocational School. After six years, Bery took a risk and pursued a career in culinary arts which led him to working as the chef at Camp Hale in New Hampshire. He lives on campus in Blake House and is often found listening to his favorite music (Dominican Bachata, Oldies Soul and LA based Hip Hop), trying out a new recipe, or excitedly watching NBA and WNBA games. Bery is looking forward to bringing a unique perspective to the Brooks Community, and is excited to add to the Self in Community program.
