\"The<\/p>\n

Alumni Gather in Washington DC<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Mr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Last weekend, the Stanner Alumni Center went on the road down to Washington DC, whose metro area including Virginia and greater Maryland is home to many Stanners. Alumni gathered several times over the course of the weekend to share meals, catch up, and also to support Molloy in the Gonzaga DC Classic Tournament<\/a>. Molloy\u2019s boys Varsity basketball team, which features several nationally ranked players, was one of eight outstanding teams featured in the tournament. In addition, Molloy\u2019s girls Varsity squad traveled down to DC the same weekend for a tournament of their own in the metro area. They made Molloy and our alumni proud as they went 2 for 2 in their exhibition games and returned home undefeated.

\"Alumni<\/a>On Friday, December 9th, alumni caught the first round of the Gonzaga Classic, which saw Molloy face off against St. Stephens & St. Agnes School (Virginia<\/em>). Cole Anthony \u201919 <\/strong>(Guard) led the charge with 15 points, while Khalid Moore \u201818<\/strong> (Forward) put up 12 in what was a decisive 78-44 victory for Molloy. Following the game, President Richard Karsten \u201981<\/strong> and Development Director Craig Katinas \u201893<\/strong> gathered with a group of alumni at nearby restaurant Circa for a special DC Chapter reception. Joining in the festivities were Stanner Hall of Famer and Miami Hurricanes Head Coach Jim Larra\u00f1aga \u201967<\/strong> as well as the \u2018Canes Assistant Head Coach Christian Caputo \u201998<\/strong>. Jim and Chris shared stories about their season currently underway (Miami is 7-2 as of this publication), and also recanted stories about their playing days under the guidance of beloved Coach Jack Curran<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A big topic among our alumni, as referenced earlier, was of course Molloy\u2019s 2016-17 boys Varsity squad, which features some truly generational talents. Cole Anthony, the Stanners\u2019 6\u201d1\u2019 star point guard, is ranked 12th nationally, 1st at his position, and 1st in New York State among Class of 2019 recruits. His teammate, the 6\u201d6\u2019 Khalid Moore, is ranked 127th nationally, 33rd at the small forward position, and 4th in New York State among Class of 2018 recruits. Then there\u2019s Moses Brown, Molloy\u2019s 7\u201d1\u2019 center who has been making headlines for months. Moses is ranked 20th nationally, 1st at center, and 1st in New York State among Class of 2018 recruits. Cole, Khalid, and Moses are part of an overall extremely talented group that are looking to make a significant impact this year and beyond.<\/p>\n

Alumni gathered again to watch Molloy take on Gonzaga High School (DC) in the Semi-Final round of the tournament on Saturday, December 10th. It was a hard fought game, but Gonzaga went on a 3 point run that few teams could defend<\/a>. Molloy fell short 84-58. Anthony impressed with 23 points in the game, while Moore and Brown combined for 26. Molloy ultimately finished fourth in the tournament following an 81-76 defeat on Sunday versus Whitney Young High School (IL) (Watch<\/a>). Cole Anthony was recognized for his outstanding weekend by earning a spot on the Gonzaga Classic All-Tournament Team.<\/p>\n

\"Alumni<\/a>\u201cIt was a great weekend that highlighted Molloy\u2019s boys and girls Varsity teams among some of the nation\u2019s best talent,\u201d said President Karsten. \u201cIt was also a wonderful opportunity for our alumni in the DC Metro area to reconnect with us and each other. There is a great group of Stanners down in DC, and we encourage them to stay connected between Molloy\u2019s visits as well. Like other areas of the country, just because you aren\u2019t located in New York doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s a lack of Stanner Spirit. You just have to know where to look.\u201d (Pictured: Alumni at Circa in Washington DC<\/em>)<\/p>\n
