Brewster Academy 71  Stoneridge 66Brewster bounced back from a disappointing opening game at the showcase to score a hard fought and emotional win over Stoneridge.  Despite not shooting a good percentage from the floor, Naadir Tharpe did a nice job running the point for Brewster, scoring 11 points and handling out 8 assists against just 1 turnover.  But the real story was the dominance of Andrew Fitzgerald inside as he finished with 27 points and 14 rebounds in his match-up… READ MORE >

Posted Friday, November 14th, 2008

Early in the week it was being reported on numerous recruiting sites that Daryl McCoy had committed to Drexel University.  That information was, at the time, pre-mature as McCoy didn’t officially make his decision until Thursday afternoon.  The Hartford native becomes the second New England big man to land in Bruiser Flint’s recruiting class, joining Dartaye Ruffin from Massachusetts.  In McCoy’s case, Flint is landing a center with a potential huge upside.  Potential has always been the key word for… READ MORE >
