Sights & Sounds: My Weekend Around The City

March 9th, 2010 KBadd No comments

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to take in Georgetown’s 74-47 thrashing of Cincinnati Saturday at the Verizon Center, as well as the WCAC semifinals between DeMatha and St. John’s and O’Connell and Gonzaga Sunday at Bender Arena on the campus of American University. I took a few pics and they actually came out a little bit better than I thought they would so I decided to post them.

Already looking forward to Sunday’s City Title game between my Stags and Ballou. Should be a hell of a game.

Congrats to Greg Monroe and Hawk

Congrats to Greg Monroe and Austin “Hawk” Freeman on being to the All-Big East team, which was announced by the conference Sunday. While I’m almost positive that Monroe won’t be a part of the squad next season, Freeman has a legit chance to finish his Georgetown career with a Big East Player of the Year honor if he simply plays the way he played this season.

Good job all season fellas and again congrats on an honor well deserved.
