HONOURARY 2010 CHAIRPERSONs
 |
Honourary
chairpersons:
Des and Angela McCarthy: Angela and I are honoured to have been
chosen as this year’s honourary co-chairs of the Dairy Town Classic
tournament. |
|
We would like first of all to congratulate the New
Dairy Town Classic committee for all the work they have done to
re-establish this great tournament after its forced suspension last
year.
Having been involved with the organizing committee for many years,
we fully appreciate the great efforts made by many people over the
years to ensure the success of the tournament. Of course not only
the Dairy Town Classic but the game of basketball itself has brought
us great enjoyment.
Watching our son Ciaran and his teammates play from mini ball
through to his four years as a Sonic left us many great memories and
friends. To all the players, coaches and fans visiting for this
year’s tournament, welcome to Sussex. We trust you will enjoy your
time here and will leave with good memories of your Dairy Town
Classic experience.

GUEST SPEAKER - BANQUET,
Friday , 2010 -
Brent Baker:
Following a rebuilding season that saw the University of New Brunswick
Varsity Reds improve throughout the year, head coach Brent Baker is back
for his second season behind the UNB bench.
An experienced coach who came to the Varsity Reds after serving as a
head coach of the St. FX women’s basketball team, Brent’s enthusiasm and
knowledge of the game will help his young team continually improve each
and every game this season.

|
An
NCCP Level III coach as well as a graduate of St. FX (Bachelor of
Arts, 1985, Bachelor of Education, 1986) Brent’s experience will be
a huge asset in rebuilding the men’s basketball program.
This isn’t the first time Brent has visited the Dairy Town Classic.
In 1992, he was coach of the Cobequid Cougars, who finished third. |
