Towson Catholic seniors movin' on
Four seniors from Towson Catholic’s MIAA A championship basketball team will continue their playing careers next year, coach Josh Pratt said today.
Point guard Larry Bastfield signed his letter of intent with Toledo last fall, but the Rockets went through a coaching change after the season. Stan Joplin was let go, and Notre Dame assistant Gene Cross was brought in as Joplin’s replacement.
Pratt said Bastfield met with Cross, and “everything’s good” as far as the coaching change is concerned.
Pratt said he isn’t sure if 6-foot-6 forward Brandon Greene has sent in his letter of intent yet, but his plans for next year are all set.
“He’s going to Robert Morris,” Pratt said. “[RMU head coach] Mike Rice really likes him. Brandon’s really excited for school and everything else.”
Terrell Bruce, a 6-foot-4 wing, will suit up for Missouri State University-West Plains, a junior college program that went 27-5 this season and finished the season ranked as the No. 18 NJCAA team in the nation.
“They just lost a 6’4 wing guard who’s going to Minnesota, so [Terrell’s] going to step in right away and play,” Pratt said. “I think it’s a good fit for him, as well.”
Vinny Breckinridge, a 6-foot guard, will spend the next year at The Patterson School, a prep school in Lenoir, N.C.
“[Going to prep school is] what he and his family wanted to do,” Pratt said. “I think it’s a good fit for him.”
