Triche Comeback




The unquestioned leader of the Jamesville-Dewitt state championship basketball team was Brandon Triche. The 6'4" point guard earned a scholarship to play for Syracuse University. Coach Jim Boeheim expects him to start right away. Watching his acrobatic feats throughout the 2008-2009 season you would have never known Brandon tore his ACL in his sophomore year of high school.

Triche started on the varsity team as a freshman and was averaging over 25 points a game through the first 10 games of his sophomore season. When he tore his ACL it ended his season and his teams hopes of winning a state championship.

Triche came back his junior year but was not his high flying self. He wore a knee brace and no longer had the explosiveness he once had. Some questioned whether he could return to his previous form.

Triche diligently rehabbed in hopes of returning bigger, stronger, and faster than he was before the injury. All his hard work would soon pay off.



Highlights

While following the Jamesville-Dewitt Red Rams I compiled over 20 tapes of footage. They won a state championship displaying the athletic ability of a college basketball team. From big time dunks to NBA range threes, this team displayed it all.

Championship Baby

During the 2003 season Coach Bob McKenney's wife and team assistant coach, Lisa, was pregnant and went into labor before the team's very first run at a state championship.

Five years and three state championships later, I interviewed the coach and his wife about that emotional time.

Season in Review





While at Syracuse University I followed the '08-'09 Jamesville-Dewitt varsity basketball team. I filmed over twenty games during their New York state championship run. The team won the state title behind New York's Mr. Basketball, Brandon Triche.

The Red Rams were one of the best high school basketball teams I have ever seen. The team became nationally known after a convincing win over Lincoln high school out of New York City. The team ended the season with a 27-2 record. They appeared to be men amongst boys trotting out a starting five with each player standing at least six feet tall.

After the season I sat down with coach Bob McKenney for a one-on-one interview.
