Bloomfield Rec Department Recognizes Student Athletes

This winter over 70 Bloomfield High School student athletes participated in the Bloomfield Recreation Department’s Intramural Basketball League.  The teams were named after top-notch NCAA programs and were comprised of high school boys in grades 9 – 12.

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the UCONN Huskies were the top two seeds and received a bye into the Final Four round.  In true Cinderella fashion, the 6^th seeded Michigan State Spartans upset the 3^rd seeded Syracuse Orangemen while the 5^th seeded Duke Blue Devils upset the 4^th seeded Purdue Boilermakers. 

Unfortunately, the first round winners' luck ran out as the top two seeds advanced to the Championship game on Wednesday, February 29^th.

The UCONN Huskies, coached by Dan Celendonio and Kevin Evangelista, guided their team to a commanding 54 – 40 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes to take the 2012 Championship. 

Congratulations to all who participated this year and a special thank you to all of the volunteer coaches who helped with the league.
