Saybrook

Captains Paul Sohn '99 and Osvaldo Banuelos '01 look to lead a newly revamped A-hoops squad to victory. They got off to a good start against Branford, winning 41-25, and playing defending champion Pierson tight in a six point loss as frosh Blake Williams and Jim Keppel showed powerful offensive and rebounding skills and seniors Adrian Delmont and Scott Yaecker pounded the opposition on the offensive glass. In B-hoops, senior captains Jeremy Rissi and Chris Conway look forward to their debut attempt to get the shirts that eluded them last year.

There's no doubt that the women of Saybrook are without competition. Natasha Bloom '00 and Alice Liu '01 pulled double duty in leading basketball and volleyball over two tough Branford teams. Captain Robyn Harris '99 looks to avenge last year's run at the shirts in basketball as do the women volleyballers, led by Liu, Bloom, and the powerful serving of Annie Eure '01 and Teri Hickey '00, as well as the fabulous setting of Nami Soejima '99 and Karen Go '99.

Saybrugians, we've rebuilt our dynasty, going from worst to first in two years. Our success can be summed up in five words: "Friends win, acquaintances merely play." I can't stress how privileged I've been to play IMs with such a great bunch of Saybrugians, especially the seniors who have all suffered with me for four years through the bad times and the good times. We've still got the Tyng Cup, and it definitely has no migration plans until the next millenium. After all, we've got John Whipple '99. Woohoo!
