The Elusive Pelican

The Martlets of Westminster Thirds Basketball came fresh out of winter long weekend with a thirst for salt water, seeking out the Loomis Chaffee pelicans for their mid-afternoon feast. The first half began with haste, both Hunter "2Chainz" Hoogkamp '21 and Ben "I Believe that's not Butter" Mihailovich '22 leading the charge offensively while Vincent "Spork" von Nordeck '21 showed both grit and grace on the court defensively. The game quickly became hotter than the pacific sun, and though the Martlets managed to stay within meager points of the pelicans (and often pulling ahead), the first half concluded at 11-24 with the pelicans ahead. Loomis had not seen the last of the Martlets; the second half brought new energy as Ben "Quarter-Pounder with Cheese" Li '21 had a banner shift in terms of shooting. Honorable mention will also go to Sam "Gimme the Juice" Obeng '22 for remarkable play in the second half. At the end of the game, the pelicans had pulled ahead, though the Martlets are hot on their heels as the two teams will face off again next Saturday at Loomis!
