Dark horses...

Dark horses by a nose: Digenan and Bianchi...

... no more. Seniors, John Digenan and Rhett Bianchi, considered long shots at best, emerged as a pool powerhouse, taking down their younger and more spry upstarts and taking a few more experienced competitors along with them, and landing themselves in the finals. Despite the late night practicing in the Billards Room by others- and distractions from the crowd as well as claims of cheating during the final game- nothing could throw off the focus nor disrupt this pool duo. But less this achievement be forgotten, like many things learned in classes, this pair will be immortalized as their names are added to the Hall's pool tourney plaque in glory everlasting. On their victory, Bianchi, along with Digenan, declared, "We went into the dance knowing an 11 seed has never won it all, but with a little ham and egg action when we needed it most, we made the Cinderella run happen. We’d like to thank God, our parents, President Tommy Kelly, and Assistant Rector, Mr. Paul Cuccinelli. We couldn’t have done it without you."
