IRIS login | Reed College home Volume 96, No. 2: June 2017
Don't miss the match-up of the season . . . no, not the Seahawks vs. Broncos, the student team vs. the alumni team on Reed’s basketball court, tonight at 7 p.m.! Gabe Zinn ’15 returns from a semester of pick-up games in Paris, and the geriatric set returns from the injured list. Come out to see if “age and treachery will overcome youth and skill” (with apologies to Waylon Jennings)?!
Some pre-game scoop from Erik Brakstad ’89:
Coach Ried Woodlee scheduled two student vs. alumni games this year. The first kicked off the season at the end of October (the alumni won, handily). The second (tonight!) kicks off the second half of the season after a long layoff. Another alumni/student game was played late in the fall when a team cancelled due to weather at the last second. The alumni pulled a team together on short notice (and beat the students.)
Plot lines:
The students, hungry for their first victory of the season, feature invigorated point guard Gabe, back from the hardscrabble streets of France.
Check back on Monday . . . or come out and see for yourself tonight!
