Sleepless Boars, Footless Birds
It was a crisp winter afternoon as the boys of the Westminster Thirds Basketball team traveled to Wallingford, affectionately known as “Wally-world,” to take on the Boars of Choate Rosemary Hall. The gentlemen boarded the bus and entered hibernation, a long rest which continued long after they disembarked and took to the court. The first half was sleepy and the boys lagged behind as the Boars came out with vigor, yet honorable mention goes to Carter “Cotton Candy” Henshaw ‘20 with impressive defensive play. He was supported by Tunji “Optimus” Osho-Williams ‘21, who led the team in spirit and big stops as the team ended the first half down 4-18. The second half began with a bang, and Jack “Poppa Smurf” Roberts ’20 wasted no time putting up baskets, posting and roasting to close the gap. Though he didn’t connect as often as usual with the rim, Ben “Febreeze: Fresh Laundry” Mihailovich ‘22 continued to be a standout team player, connecting passes and making shots with ease. The final score was 20-37, and the ride back to Simsbury wasn’t solemn but energetic as the boys spoke of future battles to be fought.
