Cory HeitzHOST
If you're here, you want to learn more about the prep school world, the college recruiting landscape, and good conversations with people that know what they're talking about.
Cory HeitzHOST
And today we have that with Coach Dan Sullivan, who is the girls coach at Worcester Academy.
Cory HeitzHOST
And Dan has been a NEPSEC AA Coach of the Year.
Cory HeitzHOST
He's won some AA championships.
Cory HeitzHOST
I think it was 2012.
Cory HeitzHOST
Sent a few kids to play for him on the boys side and looking forward to connecting with him later.
Cory HeitzHOST
but the girl player in the near future because he's doing such a good job at Worcester Academy.
Cory HeitzHOST
So we're focusing now on getting girls coaches on to spread the word and let girl basketball players from outside the New England area know that this is an option.
John R. MilesHOST
She had just dropped her son off at college in Boston, near where she grew up.
John R. MilesHOST
While he trained for basketball at her old high school, she walked back through the halls, Worcester Academy.
John R. MilesHOST
She had attended on a full scholarship as a work-study student surrounded by very wealthy classmates.
John R. MilesHOST
She remembered the shame.
Heather MonahanGUEST
Well, I lived it two weeks ago, going back to my high school where I was full of self-doubt, full of imposter syndrome and full of this concept of, I wonder if people are going to know that I'm really not competent at all, and I don't feel like I'm worthy to be at this school.
Heather MonahanGUEST
I had a full scholarship to go to a school named Worcester Academy.
Heather MonahanGUEST
It was very prestigious.
Heather MonahanGUEST
My sister and I were there, and we were work-study students.
KennyPANELIST
86 is what? It's like when they were established.
KennyPANELIST
Because when was Worcester Academy established?
Ryan MaloneyHOST
I don't know.
Ryan MaloneyHOST
1853.
Sam Robb O'HaganHOST
What's funny with those porters though, right? They're 7-1-1.
Sam Robb O'HaganHOST
They had two marquee wins over Taft and Worcester Academy.
Sam Robb O'HaganHOST
And they were very close to losing both of those games, right?
Matt DohertyGUEST
Very close to losing both, yeah.
Matt DohertyGUEST
And it's just the results that they put together.
Matt DohertyGUEST
Like, they beat Milton Academy.
Matt DohertyGUEST
They beat Worcester Academy.
Matt DohertyGUEST
I think those two wins really put them on everyone's radar.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
They were on my bubble in the first forecast.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
Worcester Academy has been interesting this year.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
They drew Taft on Saturday and they've actually been pretty solid.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
They're 4-3-2 right now.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
They're a pretty big program.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
They're going to have opportunities to kind of build their resume.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
I think they're still on the outside looking into the Open for now, but they're probably a team that I would say is pretty firmly in the Class A tournament at the moment, especially when they finish over .500, and then if you get some big upsets in there, I don't know what you get from them, but I think Worcester Academy could be a team that could be a spoiler team as far as they get some results you didn't expect against some really top teams, and that hurts those teams.
Sam Robb O'HaganGUEST
Thayer Academy v. Brooks.
Gary DolphinHOST
I mean, you were an English teacher.
Gary DolphinHOST
You got your start at, was it Milford? Worcester Academy.
Gary DolphinHOST
Worcester Academy prep with guys like Kenny O'Keefe and Joe Philbin.
Gary DolphinHOST
Mike Sherman.
Gary DolphinHOST
Mike Sherman.
AJ BlackHOST
And that was interesting.
AJ BlackHOST
I believe he played tight end at Worcester Academy, so it's not like a brand-new position.
AJ BlackHOST
But again, just kind of like what we said with Bryce Lewis – He's going to relearn it, but I guess he's been doing it with the scout team.
AJ BlackHOST
He scouted as Luke Reynolds a couple weeks ago and did a really nice job with it.
Cory HeitzHOST
Uh, the next day we went to, um, Miss Porter's School, a very impressive all-girls school in Farmington, Connecticut, and then just went down the street to Avon Old Farm, uh, to meet up with them.
Cory HeitzHOST
Went to Worcester Academy, had lunch with the Sullivan boys there.
Cory HeitzHOST
And then the following morning went to MAI to see Masters, um, Academic International, or Academy International, and got to see, uh, Mr.
Cory HeitzHOST
Masters again and spend some good time with John Carroll there and pick his brain, and then finished up at Cambridge School of Weston.
