With just under two minutes to play the game was tied at…

The theme of this pre-season at New Hampton has clearly been improvement. When we visited the New Hampshire gym on Wednesday evening we were blown away by how much the five returning players had improved. Perhaps no player is a better example of this than Zach McBey.
