A Remarkable Team, A Remarkable Coach ... 35 Years Later

Dave D'Andrea, coach of New England regional basketball championship team in 1976 is to be honored by Greenwich Old Timers on Nov. 11th, 2011.

This past Spring marked the 35th anniversary of the only regional  basketball championship ever achieved by a Catholic school as well as the only such feat in Greenwich basketball history. The coach of that team, Dave D'Andrea, will be honored this November 11th by the Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association.

The Greenwich Catholic Middle School team of 1975-76 went 32-1, losing only to a high school team by one point in a Cardinal Sheehan Tourmament in Bridgeport.  I am proud to have played on that team, coached by such a great person and basketball mind. I do hope as many former players as possible can attend what promises to be an exciting night filled with lifelong memories.

Please contact me if you need tickets and I will put you in touch with the persons in charge of seating. My e-mail address is acamillo@gmail.com.
