The Community Broadcast, currently held Tuesdays and Wednesday from 3 - 5 PM at Troup, is moving along well with positive feedback from the community. This program teaches students how to create their own TV show, star in a TV show, film, edit, and do all that is necessary to get their show live on TV. It's an incredible experience for any student and the skills that are learned are transferable to many careers. If you are interested in signing up, contact Shawon at 435.6201. Summer sessions will also be held.

A major upset and some impressive individual performances were among the highlights on Friday at the Hoop Hall Summer Classic.

Connecticut Skills scored the biggest upset of the day as they knocked off Hollis Price Elite in convincing fashion. Markus Wright and Jordan Dina formed an imposing interior tandem as Wright’s explosive power and athleticism allowed him to finish several plays with authority while the 6’6” Dina showed his well balanced game as he made bouncy plays around the rim, led the break, and even knocked down a couple of three-pointers. But the key to the Skills victory may have been the stabilizing play of point guard Sam Markle, who was on loan from the Connecticut Gold squad. As always Markle did a nice job of running the team, distributing the ball, and controlling the tempo of the game.

Irv Gotti, hip-hop producer, watched our team and was impressed. Below is a photo of him with the team.
