The boys varsity basketball team played MacDuffie on center court at the Basketball Hall of Fame. They ended up losing by 15, but put up a good fight and played without one of their top players (who was out with a sprained ankle). Matt Sulda ’14 played very well, as did Sam Blake ’14. The court had remarkably little seating and overhanging levels blocked the sight lines for shooting.
Following the game, a group of alumni and I went over to Max’s Tavern for drinks. Everyone loved the new basketball pint glasses. Mike Jackson (trustee) and Jim Brennan (trustee) showed up after the game. Jim knows David Monroe ’83 through basketball. David continues to play competitive basketball in the Springfield area and has a couple of nephews who are pretty good.
