"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Tough Pill To Swallow
Last Friday, Varsity Basketball went out against Fay, in
what was an amazing fight between the two evenly matched teams. Fenn started
off the game with ten quick points, but Fay bounced their way back scoring six
consecutive buckets.
Fighting for the ball, diving on the floor, and dirty
fouls, were just some of the ways to describe the first half of the game. At
half Fenn and Fay were both tied at 23 points a piece
At half time, Mr. Bradley the head coach
gave his pump up speech and told the boys, they have to play to
their strengths. And that's exactly what they did. Cormac Zachar played an
outstanding game, with a numerous amount of points and rebounds as well as
Blayne Dee who had the game of his life, recording five assists. On the other
end of the court, Eddie Uong played great defense along side Patrick McGann who
were both working hard all the time!
The endless battle continued for another
sixteen minutes and with just four seconds left in the game, Fay had the ball.
Fenn was up 50-49. Fay inbounded the ball got it to their best player,
shot it up and before the buzzer sounded, the ball dropped into the net. Fenn
50, Fay 51.
"It was a tough pill to swallow,"
said Assistant Head Coach, Bob Star. "The boys played their hearts out and
that is all we could ask for." If faith prevails, Fenn will get another
shot at them at the annual Fenn Varsity Basketball Tournament, held at
the beginning of February.

Fenn Rolls
Last Monday, Fenn Varsity Basketball went out against a strong Groton team. Fenn got off to a quick start in the first half scoring 16 straight points. Eddie Uong had an outstanding game having multiple offensive boards and great blocks defensively. Andrew Brown also played well getting to the free throw line and knocking down almost all of them.
The boys played really well, and the Fenn Varsity Basketball team went onto beat Groton a lot to a little.
Today's game between Fenn and Fessenden has been canceled due to major snow storm and canceling of school.
Therefore now all the boy have to look forward to is the Fenn tournament this Saturday.
