So yesterday I asked you the reader what your memories of the old WHS gym were and today I wanted to share with you some of my memories, which there are so many, but I’ve decided to put 5 that sort of stand out from the rest. Again feel free to comment with some of your memories to this story or yesterday’s.
- 2011 Boys Basketball Quarterfinal vs. King Philip: Even though it was a loss, the atmosphere and crowd was something that I had never seen at that old gym, the place was packed and loud, so loud I had to basically yell during the entire tv broadcast.
- 2009 Girls Basketball Quarterfinal vs. Walpole: Again I know this was a loss but still the environment was something to behold, the stands were packed and the game lived up to the hype as I will always remember the explosion of the crowd when Jesse Miller sent the game into overtime with a last second basket.
- This is more academic based, but playing flag football among other sports as part of Mrs. Molonea’s sports education class my sophomore year in high school was just a ton of fun and gave me a chance to both play, coach and ref sports I enjoyed.
- 2010 Girls Basketball Quarterfinal vs. Newton South: Was just a fan for this one but again it’s one of those games you remember for the atmosphere as like many tournament games in that gym the stands were packed on both sides and the game went right down to the wire. It was also memorable because that was the game that both Blake Dietrick and Mary Louise Dixon scored their 1000 points.
- 2006 Boys Basketball tournament game vs. Hingham: This was the first boys basketball tournament game I had ever been to home or away and as is the theme with these tournament game memories the gym was packed and loud. The boys lost and for some reason the memory that sticks out with me is the Hingham students rushing our court when the game was over.
