Rising Senior Spotlight - Kris Laing

Rising Senior Spotlight – Tommy Lorenzetti

Posted Tuesday, July 14th, 2020

Like many point guards, Tommy Lorenzetti's impact couldn't be measured by statistics last year. His impact on winning though was undeniable as his unselfishness and reliability on both ends of the floor where invaluable for St. Paul's.  His role should change next year though as St. Paul's graduates four seniors and will need Lorenzetti to not just be the floor general like he was this year, but also a consistent playmaker.  That's a role he's been preparing for in recent… READ MORE >

Rising Senior Spotlight - Tom Vassil

Posted Friday, July 10th, 2020

Tom Vassil's high school career at Whitman-Hanson wrapped up with an MIAA state championship this year as WH took the D2 title.  While Vassil's stats, may have been modest this year, his impact was not, as his size was a constant game changer on both ends of the floor.  While he's made consistent and obvious strides over the years, Vassil is still new to the game and just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. He's also under-recruited, with… READ MORE >
