Ex Student Testimony : Tommy Coogan
I started basketball when I was ten. I started playing basketball when I got a basketball hoop at my house when I was younger and I used to play at my house a lot. My biggest accomplishment is when I scored 34 points and was captain when I played against Wales. Before I made the midlands team when I was U14. When I was on the midlands team we played Dublin where I was scouted by the coach for the Irish team. I was invited to a trial in Galway and then I was picked for a team of 36 players.
