Boys Basketball: Know the team; watch them play
By Lauree Padgett. Exclusive to Haddonfield[dot]Today.
Without the benefit of the roster that hangs on the wall by the entrance to the gym, it’s tough to put all the new faces with the numbers and figure out who is who. Here is the current roster to help Dawg fans get familiar with the 2021 team.
- 21 Matt Leming — Junior — 6-3 Guard
- 2 Carson Wolfe — Junior — 5-11 Guard
- 4 Matt Guveiyian — Junior — 6-4 Forward
- 11 Tom Mooney — Junior — 6-2 Guard
- 22 Justin Kasko — Senior –6-4 Forward
- 5 Dante Del Duca — Junior — 6-2 Guard
- 15 Jack Deegan — Senior — 6-4 Forward
- 3 Sean Bean — Junior — 5-10 Guard
- 13 Teddy Bond — Sophomore — 6-4 Guard
- 20 Matt Ventola — Junior — 6-1 Forward
- 24 Jon Bucci — Junior — 6-3 Guard
- 25 Christian Raymond — Junior — 6-1 Guard
- 32 Matt Kouse — Freshman — 6-2 Guard

Unless you are related to a player or are a member of the press (woohoo!), current COVID-related restrictions do not permit fans to attend games in person. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t watch games in real time or after the fact. Happily, for all hoops fans out there, the host school is providing a live feed of each game — varsity, JV, and frosh — via its athletics’ YouTube channel.
For a list of Colonial Conference YouTube channels, go HERE. Click on the desired school to be taken to that channel.
To access the Dawgs’ schedule. go HERE. Keep in mind that it will change as the season evolves … meaning, check the day of each scheduled game to make sure it’s still on and the time is still accurate. The weather forecast for this coming week could impact one or both of the upcoming home games.
And while there is nothing quite the same as being in the gym to cheer on your team, I will admit that sitting in a comfortable chair instead of going out in the cold, dark of winter to drive to a school to watch a game isn’t a bad deal. That being said, I am also grateful that I have the opportunity to see the Dawgs play at home from my own little corner of the gym, dubbed “the press” area.
