Abbott became the 12th Bulldog — the eighth Hall-Dale...
RICHMOND – No one on the Richmond girls basketball team could hit a shot. Not a jumper, not a runner, not a layup.

AUGUSTA — It was far from perfect, Hall-Dale boys basketball coach Chris Ranslow said. His players felt the same way.

We woke up at 8:00, and we drove to a Buddhist temple. Inside there were many historical sites, such as a bell that was rung a very long time ago. There was a trail up to a Buddhist altar, entirely composed of gold. It was a fascinating experience, after which we went home and ate chicken heart, liver, gizzard, cartilage, and breast, on kabobs.

FARMINGDALE — It’s not uncommon for a high school baseball team to struggle scoring runs early in the season as it adjusts from batting practice in the gym to live pitching.

AUGUSTA — Replicating game speed in practice is difficult enough. Replicating the speed and intensity with which Hall-Dale plays defense is virtually impossible.

AUGUSTA — The game twisted and turned through one lead change, one defining moment, after another.
It ended with the Hall-Dale boys basketball team celebrating on the Augusta Civic Center floor, rejoicing a victory that seemed at times improbable, at others inevitable, and in the end as dramatic as they come.
