St. Anthony’s vs. Chaminade Standout

The St. Anthony’s defense looked so different than it did in its season-opening loss to Culver (Ind.), and Bramoff was a big reason why. He once again drew the matchup of Express teammate James Gillis (Duke). Gillis decisively won the regular-season matchup in 2025. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the Flyers won that game. It was a little more even in last spring’s championship game, won by the Friars. This time, though, Bramoff limited Gillis to one goal and one assist. Bramoff did an excellent job of staying patient and matching feet, and while he’s an elite takeaway artist, he showed great restraint on when he went for big checks. There’s some debate about where Bramoff best fits in college, but he’s the Friars’ No. 1 cover man down low this year. Wednesday, he showed why.
