Men’s Basketball Battles Through Opening Month
Cougars Working Hard in Fall Half of Season
Men's basketball has fought valiantly through the early part of their season, working relentlessly on the court during their nine November games. The Cougars have displayed class and created memorable moments while working toward their first win.
Holyoke has been led by two of their returning sophomore players, Dylan Rohan (Holyoke, MA / Holyoke HS) and James Fitzgibbons (Hadley, MA / Hopkins Academy). Rohan joined HCC men's basketball's 500-Point Club this year, scoring his 500th career point during the team's home opener (click here for full story). He currently leads the Cougars in points with 142, three-pointers made with 17 and free throws made with 21. Rohan led last year's team in all three categories and was chosen to the All-Region (All-New England) team. Fitzgibbons is Holyoke's leader in rebounds this season with 58 and is second on the team in points with 71. He led last year's team in rebounds.
Men's basketball has a 0-9 overall record and a 0-7 regional record. They will travel for a pair of games this weekend before their next home game against Roxbury CC, which was recently rescheduled to Tuesday, December 9th at 7:30pm. Let's go Cougars!
