Our college wrap this week is also a tribute to Tony Pompallier who sadly passed away last week.

Tony’s coaching work touched thousands of young players across the years, amongst them virtually every Harbour player currently on a basketball scholarship in the States.

All of these players will speak fondly of Tony’s influence. Here we take a look at how they are faring – Tony will be looking down proudly on their achievements.
