Coach Alex Popp and his coaching staff will wear sneakers with their suits on Saturday, January 26th in their home game against Worcester Academy at 5:30 p.m. Coach Popp said, “one of my good friends lost the battle to cancer this fall and it was challenging to witness. When the good folks from Coaches vs. Cancer presented this opportunity, it felt like the perfect way to pay homage to my friend. Most people have loved ones who have lost their lives to cancer, so It’s quite an honor to have Vermont Academy basketball as the platform to raise money for such a noble cause. ”
Vermont Academy is a coed college preparatory boarding and day school in southern Vermont, serving grades 9-12 plus a postgraduate year.
