NOTES: Gardenstatehoops would like to acknowledge the basketball careers of St. Joseph Senior’s Sean McKinless, Andrew McGuire, Pat Doherty and Joe Giles-Harris! These four young men put St.Joe’s back into relevancy and have started a nice future for the school in the coming years! Giles-Harris primary sport is football and he will take his skills to Duke University! Doherty who has been one of the top defenders in the State main sport is Soccer and he will be continuing School on the next level in that capacity! Two of the best shooters in the area without a doubt are McGuire(left) and McKinless(right) and each will be playing basketball at the next level as each have been approached by D2 schools! Special thanks goes to McKinless who was gracious enough to take the time to do a Diary for this site! In the coming days he will be able to express his thoughts again on this webpage! These players and their families should be proud of all that they have accomplished!
