All that is right about high school athletics was embodied in this year's Scituate High School basketball team. I cherished every moment with them. The pursuit of excellence was a daily requirement. Excellence. Thank you is all I can say to this team & to the community.

Could not have played harder than we did last night at Malden Catholic. Sorry our season has come to an end. The improvement shown from November 28th to March 7th was amazing. Very proud of our 2022-23 basketball team. Go Scituate! Go Sailors!

Both a tough and special moment to drop Jack P. off at Le Moyne College for Mom and Dad. Advice to Moms and Dads: Prepare yourself for the moment. Go Le Moyne Dolphins!

1st: Tip of the hat to an outstanding team & performance from Malden Catholic. 2nd: Sorry season is over, but if you go down, go down fighting. 3rd: This team made school, town proud & showed a younger generation what happens IF daily priority is to NOT play 2 hours of Minecraft.

Thank you everybody, but as folks involved in the game know, this type of honor is not an individual achievement. The credit goes to everyone who has played, everyone who has coached & everyone who have made sacrifices both individually & collectively. Go Sailors! Go Scituate!.
Congrats to coach Matt Poirier on winning his 350th game. Pretty remarkable that all of those wins have been at Scituate. He has impacted the lives of hundreds of players. Congrats. @ScitAthletics @JenkinsMrP @mattyfeld612 @MIAA033 @BostonHeraldHS @patriotleagueMA

For what it is worth, I had an experience at the Shaw's Cohasset supermarket this past week that made me talk to a store manager and motivated me to contact their upper management. Please read. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Puzzling, but indisputable, irrefutable evidence that I took the wrong baby home from the hospital. Notice the hat. No one related to me would ever wear a hat like this. Secondly, I was neither a scholar nor athlete.

Jack sporting his Le Moyne College Dolphins basketball work-out gear. Jack said that he and his teammates had the "best basketball workout" he ever experienced today. So glad to hear that! Keep working hard Jack. Glad it has not snowed 2 feet already in East Syracuse, NY.

Solid workout with Jack this morning at the Warehouse. Sometimes I ask myself, how is this guy related to me? Setting up a summer workout schedule & sticking to it will be the reason why you make contested lay-ups, challenged 3's and game winning foul shots during 2023-24 season

Thank you MBCA (Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Association) for this honor, but the credit goes to the young men who did the sweating and sacrificing. Thank you Scituate, Scituate High School and the 2021 - 22 SHS boys basketball team!
Well the honors from last years incredible Athletic Season continue to roll in. Matt Poirier has been selected as the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year. This is a very prestigious award and Coach Poirier is extremely worthy. Congrats Coach! GO SAILORS.

Grateful to coaches who contacted Jack the past months after entering transfer portal. Portal process isn't easy, but after prayers, visits, phone calls, texts, etc., Jack decided to accept a basketball scholarship to attend Ave Maria University in Ave Maria, Florida. Go Gyrenes!

Couldn't have made a better effort but fell short to a solid Sharon HS team. Very proud of the 2023-24 team. Being mediocre is something I asked from day 1 of season to avoid, they stayed clear of it. Thank you gentlemen it was an honor to coach you! @scituatehoops @SHSathletics

I never have had to ask this team to help a teammate up. NOT ONCE. I have had teams where I had to teach them to do it & show film to make the point. Not this team. We ALL know we have to improve as we await our seeding & match-up, but this is what it is all about. Coach Poirier

This is one of the better impersonations I have seen of myself. There have been many. This is Marshfield High School's CURTIS WAISGERBER 2021 doing his best Coach Poirier impersonation. Curtis played for me in the varsity division at MVP Camp at Bentley University 2019.

Regardless of the sport, being quicker & faster separates you from future opponents. April - November is when a basketball player separates themselves from teammates & future opponents. Q: How do you get quicker & faster? A: Work on being quicker and faster.

Al Kazlousky loved Scituate & supported the town's kids regardless if they played basketball, football, softball, were into music, drama or were computer enthusiasts. If they were on a track to Harvard, a military career or a trade, it did not matter, he celebrated their success.

I wanted to thank Scituate for coming out Tuesday night and supporting us. Sorry for the end result, but this is part of the journey we are on and only have one decision to make after a game like that. What decision? Quit or Recommit. I think you know what decision we will make.

Our condolences go out to the Kazlousky family. Al touched countless lives in Scituate and was always there with a smile, a pat on the back, a high five and of course a joke. If you were lucky enough to have crossed paths with Al consider yourself blessed. A true Legend! RIP🙏

I asked an MIT doctoral candidate with experience in data analysis to look at amassed end of year stats. He said: Your shooting percentages, assists-turnover ratios, rebounding, do not match up with number of wins. His conclusion: Your players play with heart. He was darn right.
