Senior Ron Realer describes the Misericordia game as the highlight of this season so jar. "We were down by 20 and came back to win it," the 6'3" forward reminisces with a smile.
Realer: a history major whose favorite teacher is Dr. Jolyon Girard, says that he will miss the great friends he has made during his four years at Cabrini when he graduates. Realer's plans after college include "getting a job and getting "Rocky Lincoln' off the ground."
The Rocky Lincoln comment was a joke, an inside the Cabrini men's basketball team thing that outsiders will never understand.
Tom Gorman. the senior guard from Audubon, New Jersey, continues the jesting as he describes a memory from his time at Cabrini.
"When apartment 103's blow up doll got out of hand, that is my favorite memory," Gorman recalls.
When asked what he will miss most about Cabrini he slyly grins "Brownies' happy hour."
German's plans post-Cabrini include a summer at the shore and a career in law en-
Sims' favorite moment so far was when he "tapped in the game winner" at the beginning of the season against GwyneddMercy.
Sims plans on "getting a job and maybe trying out for the NBA" after graduation, but he will miss his friends and the faculty at Cabrini.
It is the closeness of the community at Cabrini that senior Jim McTarnney will miss the most also; The closeness of the community and basketball.
McTarnney's most proud of the PAC titles the team earned in his sophomore and junior years, especially the first one because the team "wasn't supposed to win," but "proved everyone wrong."
A Korristown native who loves cheese steaks and the movie ·'Bravehearf', McTamney·s favorite teacher at Cabrini has been "Ruby Remley because she is a great teacher that really cares about her students."
The 6T' guard is a business and marketing major and wants to work "in the business field upon graduation.
Tom forcement.
Before graduation, however this group of seniors has four more regular season games and then quarterfinals begin on Feb. 19. Among these games will be at least one meeting with Alvemia which most of the team describe as their biggest rival.
Gorman called the University of Pennsylvania's JV team his biggest rival and Realer gave that distinction to Penn StateOgontz. These comments were made just prior to Saturday's game against Beaver College. Apparently, the guys were letting off pre-game tension by joking, again; It worked.With a foul shot by junior Mark Hentosh after time had run out on the clock, the team avoided overtime with a 76- 75 victory.
The 5' J 1" sociology major will not miss the cafeteria. He prefers 'Turkey Classics' from Wawa at 3 a.m. "That's when they taste best."
"Meal money," Tim Anderlonis jokes is what he will miss most about Cabrini. In reality it is his teammates that the 6'3" forward from Darby will miss when he leaves Cabrini for the Marine Corps.
Like Gorman, Anderlonis is a sociology major and his favorite teacher is Dr. Girard, just as Realer reported.
Randall Sims, the 6'7" center and business administration major from Philadelphia, also counts Dr. Girard as one of his favorite teachers. This list also includes Dr. James Hedtke and Dr. John Heiberger.
