The Draft of Taft
The Westminster Martlets of Thirds Boys’ basketball donned their finest gold chains and shiniest shoes for a tilt against the Taft Rhinos, and their opponent presented with fierce horns, indeed. The boys held strong at the start, with Hunter "Bieber Fever" Hoogkamp '21 sinking a 3-pointer to start the game as well as banner defensive play by Jack "Par for the Course" Roberts '20. The game slipped through their fingers like the sands of Babylon as the Rhinos plodded their way forward, leaving the Martlets down 10-25 at the half. Little progress was made in the second, and despite double trouble Bens (Ben "Jolly Rancher" Li '21 and Ben "Everything Bagel" Mihailovich '22), the boys could not take the game. Honorable mention to Lucas "Pelé" Wahlberg ’21 for great effort on defense in the second half, winning the team's "Heart and Soul" award for this week. The boys only have four games remaining, tons of excitement and basketball to look forward to on the horizon.
