WHS Basketball Senior Night


Five WHS Seniors were recognized during their last regular season game on February 26 for their contributions, dedication and athletic talents in their basketball careers. In mid-court ceremonies they were introduced along with their parents and one grandfather.

In the order that they were brought out before the home fans is Tressa Robert's & Lenny DeSarro's son Jalen DeSarro. Next came Sean Hudson with his folks Jennifer Brooks & Sean Hudson, Sr. Michael Johnston escorted his parents Janet Meeks & Pete Johnston. Christian Kapp followed them with his mother Gina Kapp and Grandfather Chuck Amato. Last, but not least, was Michael Miller and his dad Todd Miller.

The Seniors and their folks were introduced by courtside announcer Skip Hamilton and recognized for their time and efforts given representing Wellsville High School in their basketball careers. As Hamilton remarked good things come from good people and it was quite evident with this group of outstanding atheletes and the people who are their biggest supporters. Together they gave great pride for all of Wellsville to bask in.

We would like to add our congratulations to all these good folks. They have provided some very exciting, winning basketball over their careers keeping the Tiger's tradition alive and well. Without a doubt you have proven that WHS is the best in the valley. Thanks...

We snuck a picture of Head Coach Dave “Bug” Thompson in the collage above. Bug is always looking sharp but we thought his black suit and orange shirt made him look especially resplendent on Senior Night. His wardrobe manager must have been beaming with pride.

In the lower right corner is time keeper Mike Kerr and score keeper Jim Byers. These two guys also help to keep the tradition going each and every game.

Good luck guys in all your future endeavors...
