It’s the beginning of a new era at the Tilton School as the Zegarowski twins, not to mention five other scholarship players, have now moved on to the college level.

Commitment Catch-Up

Posted Sunday, October 21st, 2018

Sometimes it's because they fly under the radar for some reason. More often though, especially when it comes to high academic division III basketball, it's because they chose their destination with eyes wide open.  It's no surprise when potential scholarship level prospects commit to high academic division III schools. It happens on multiple occassions… READ MORE >
