The Southern Connecticut Conference celebrated its 25th year in 2018-19 and more than 1,600 votes were cast in an online poll to determine the "Best Moment/Performance"... presented by Town Fair Tire, the best place to buy tires.   Thank you for voting!

Congratulations to Notre Dame’s Matt Callahan who won the SCC’s Best Moment of 2018-19, presented by Town Fair Tire.

Callahan was the Green Knight’s basketball team manager the last four years.  That all changed on Senior Night on Feb. 9.  With the Green Knights in control and on their way to their 18th win of the year, the crowd started chanting, "We want Matt, We want Matt." Callahan, wearing jersey number 14, was already at the scoring table to check in and entered the game. Just two possessions later, he ran across the paint, received a screen and set up outside the three-point line.  After a perfect pass from his teammate, Callahan calmly nailed a three-point shot.

Matt graduated in May from ND and will attend St. Joseph's College in West Hartford and major in business administration.

SCC Commissioner Al Carbone presented Matt with his “Moment of the Year” plaque, and decided to relive Matt’s “famous” shot with a little contest.  Check it out.

Here is the link from Notre Dame’s athletic website that documented the moment...

Congratulations to the SCC/COS NOW 2018-19 Player and Coaches of the Year, as voted on by the league's head coaches. 

Forty-three student-athletes were recognized as Player of the Year in their respective sports, while 41 coaches were honored. 

Many thanks to the presenting sponsor COS NOW and its parent company Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists.
