Photo of the Basketball Now: 1 March 2011

Chelsea boys basketball welcomed Ypsilanti for senior night.  One senior saying farewell to the Robin Raymond Gymnasium (hey, don’t rule it out) was Patrick Roberts, a four-year varsity basketball player — and a talented multi-sport athlete — for the Bulldogs.


Patrick Roberts salutes you, Real Seniors of Genius.

Since the Ypsi paper needed photos and the Chelsea paper was saving its space for the huge season-ending Chelsea @ Dexter rivalry game later in the week — and because I had to leave at halftime to cover the last period of Chelsea’s first-round hockey playoff game — the bulk of my photos from the game feature Braves.  (Yes, I’m aware there’s a different official school mascot.  No, I have no interest in using it.  Yes, I have company: a vast sea of Ypsi graduates who don’t care for the change.)
