Looking back on Uni basketball
Now that Uni has fallen in regionals we can begin to assess the legacy of the seniors. Our current group of seniors have won more games in the past three years than any other class in Uni history.
Ben Sims, Austin Berger, and Uni’s all time scoring leader Al Renner have led Uni’s core group of starters throughout those three years. The three of them, along with sophomore Mike Renner, were the last out of the locker room last night. Both the tears in their eyes and the tears of the fans were indicative of the how much this team meant to the players and to our entire community.
When the game drew to closer to its end, instead of showing any lack of confidence all the seniors played with an incredible sense of urgency and intensity. As time expired Al Renner hit a three point shot to cap off his Uni basketball career. Al’s exit assures us that he will be back — but not yet.
Look for him to add onto his Uni home-run record this spring during Uni baseball.
