Coach, Team Thank Fans for MV Basketball Season

At Dreamland Friday night, the team that went to the Garden — and the coach who took them there — met and thanked their fans for a sensational season.

Forty years after Martha's Vineyard boys basketball went all the way to the Boston Garden in the state semi-finals, they did it again last week, playing a valiant game that did not quite subdue Danvers.

Friday night, Dreamland in Oak Bluffs hosted an appreciation party for the team and coach Mike Joyce.

Watch our video for a condensed version of the celebration hosted by MV alumnus and former player Ken Goldberg, wearing Vineyard jersey number 21 in solidarity with the team.
