One more clarification: I just checked with the coach, Anthony O’Niel, who told me Parker did not “earn the right to pick up the trophy because his season was cut short due to a fractured hand,” but that Parker was actually selected for the honor because of his exemplary leadership and work ethic.

Reminds me when I was co-captain for Don Humeston’s baskeball team in the old Legion
Basketball Leage in Sharon…

We only won one game all year..but in the playoffs we went on a winning streak and wound up winning the championship!!

Thanks for the memories Terry..and congratulations to both of the teams

We were undefeated in our league and district and had to play Lower Marion (i think) in the semis… The team that Kobe Bryant played for as a high school senior. Kobe kicked out butts. Not the whole team… Just Kobe. Kobe was the team.

But it was pretty cool to make it that far.

Thanks for that clarification. At the end of the game, Craig Toensing called for the captains of the two teams to present the trophies and, naturally, I assumed Parker was the chief since Craig gave it to him first. I have fixed the wrong identification in bold above.

As you noted, a remarkable achievement for SCS with all their injuries. Wonder what their season would have been like if they had stayed healthy.

Thanks for being there for the big victory. Just wanted to let you know that Joe Lamb was the Assistant Coach all season for SCS and John Kelly and Michael Tabor were the Captains for SCS. Parker Rawlings is an 8th grader who earned the right to pick up the trophy because his season was cut short due to a fractured hand - after cheering his team on most of the season he actually returned for the final game! We were thankful to have him! It was a tough road for SCS due to ongoing illnesses and injuries - I believe the final game was the ONLY game that we actually had all our team members able to play.

But really . . . thank you for being there to take notice of our young kids working hard.
