"The good Lord gave you a body that can withstand almost anything, it's your mind you have to convince."     Vince Lombardi


For four months basketball was our lives. We started off slow, but as the season progressed we began to steam ahead so fast that even WE didn't realize what was happening. Each game was the next step to attaining our goals, each spaghetti dinner a stronger link formed in our friendships, and each viewing of "Hoosiers" brought a rejuvenated sense of mission. Every win brought more fans, and each fan brought more school spirit. Raider Pride was flying high. Coach Cordani told us,

"Dare to Soar"

And we did, together:

DUAL VALLEY CONFERENCE CO-CHAMPIONS
CLARK TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS
CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS DIVISION III CHAMPIONS
STATE FINALISTS

 The greatest basketball team Hopedale has ever seen.

For four months basketball was our lives, and for four months our lives were unbelieveable. Yes, "Hoosiers" did have a different ending, but for Hopedale this is just the beginning.
