The third annual unified Bulldogs vs Tri-Town Police took place on November 13 and was a huge success. The unified basketball team won 86-74, as Thomas Jupin was named the player of the game, hitting a buzzer beater at the last second of the game. It was also transitioning student Emilia Cantwell’s last home game as a Bulldog, as she was presented with a “Mattapoisett Police Number One Fan” t-shirt before the game. Cantwell scored the first basket of the game, and the crowd erupted. Some other highlights included a lock-down defense by David Wilson, and lots of three pointers from Michael Hogan. Old Rochester collected hundreds of non-perishable food items for Damiens Food Pantry in Wareham during the event.
“This event was a powerful display of community spirit, generosity, and the shared commitment to inclusion, and we can’t wait for next year!” said ORR Head Coach Emma Fenton.
