DUDLEY — Shepherd Hill Regional High School played host to a very special event on Wednesday, Jan. 14, as the Harlem Wizards, an entertaining basketball team similar to the Harlem Globetrotters that specialize in helping local commu- nities and entertaining with trick shots and highly entertaining on-court antics, took to the basketball court at Shepherd Hill High School to help support the Charlton PTO in what was called a “slam dunk fundraiser.” The show included a wide variety of entertaining shots and activities for the crowd to get involved in as the Wizards showed the value of teamwork, humor, and community involve- ment and just having fun playing a sport they love so much. The Wizards also drove home an important message as they wanted the community to remember the event and that it was their school officials and the PTO that helped bring that entertainment to them and for everyone present to remember how important volunteers and workers in the community can be.

Division 2 district tournament, which will get going in a few weeks. Algonquin fell to 4-8 (0-5) on the year. “It’s a great start,” Rams head coach Scott Provost said Shepherd Hill’s Sebastien Gruszecki fires a shot from the wing last Friday of his team’s first 12 games in night against Algonquin. their new league. “We’re very excited about it, but it’s still one game at a time.” The visitors grabbed the momentum early, and while the game remained close, the overall feel of things seemed to have the Tomahawks in control. They held a 10-9 lead after one quarter, a 27-25 lead at halftime, and a 44-42 edge after three quarters of play. “They’re a very aggressive, very hard-working team,” Provost said of the Algonquin effort. “We persevered. We just kept at it, kept working and Shepherd Hill’s Jason O’ Regan, a freshman, uses a Michael Rapoza pick brought ourselves back into to roll into the lane for two of his 11 points on the night. the game.” The Tomahawks pulled three rebounds, but he hit two but Rapoza was there with a ahead by nine points, 42-33, put-back layups in that run game-altering rejection to spell with 3:30 to play in that third during the third quarter that the Tomahawks’ last chance. period before the Rams went kept The Hill in the game.
