 ALUMNI GAME - Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008

With 20 former Wesleyan men's basketball players in attendance and 14 of them suiting up to take on the current varsity squad in a scrimmage, the action was fierce in Silloway Gymnasium Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008.  While the alums pulled out to a comfortable early advantage, the varsity chipped away at the lead and finally pulled away for a close victory.  Attending the contest and post-game reception in Middletown were (kneeling, L to R):  Chris Stiepock '87, Vinny Bonazzoli '82, Bobby Garcia '88, Eric Winters '08, Jimmy Shepherd '07, Derrick Brantley '02, former head coach Herb Kenny, (standing, L toR): Frank Waters '70, Robert Kelly '07, John Majewski '79, Billy Frischling '86, Blake Curry '07, Bill Kumler '91, Greg Porydzy '85, Jared Ashe '07, Pat Ryan '85, Doug Rubenstein '07, Dick Fairbrother '74, Kanem Johnson '04, Bill Queen '86, Steve Malinowski '77 and Jim Connery '79.

ACTION SHOTS

Kanem Johnson '04 thinks he can add to his Wesleyan career scoring leadership total of 1,692 points. Sorry, not in this game, Kanem. A two-sport team captain (basketball and soccer) as a senior, Jared Ashe '07 looks to take it to the hole.
Bill Kumler '91 tries to defend against varsity newcomer Jason Mendell '12. What's 21 years when it comes to hoops!? Blake Curry 07 gets a hand on the ball while Robert Kelly '07 sets the inside defense against current team co-captain Stan Grayson '09.
Robert Kelly '07, who collected 983 career points during his Wesleyan career, elevates over Dave Maltz '11. Chris Stiepock '87 is having an X-Games thought about what he's seeing on the court.  Stiepo has been the main man for ESPN's X Games production for 14 years.
Ready to grab the rebound is Pat Ryan '85 (left) while Bill Frischling '88 boxes out current team center Gabe Gonzalez-Kreisberg '09.  Kreisberg's father, the late Seth Kreisberg '78, was a former starting center for the Cardinals. Eric Winters '07 thinks leaping out of the building will intimidate a fledgling Cardinal Jason Mendell '12
