NMH Basketball : Boys Basketball
Boys Varsity Basketball
Northfield Mount Hermon School’s boys basketball team plays in the prestigious New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC), considered the premier prep conference in the nation. Over the past ten years, NMH has sent more than 50 players to Division I college programs. Many others have gone on to great collegiate careers at Division II and Division III levels.
NMH has been among the top-ten-ranked basketball programs for the past five years. Last year NMH finished as the seventh-ranked team in the country, winning a record 23 victories, including the Boys Club of New York Prep tourney championship over eventual national champion Notre Dame of Fitchburg.
All nine of the team’s 2007 graduates went on to play college basketball, and seven are playing Division I basketball. Clive Weeden went to Dartmouth, Matt Glass and Gary Correia to the University of Massachusetts, Terrell and Jerrell Williams to LaSalle University, RJ Rutledge to Monmouth University, and Ty Nash to the University of Notre Dame.
The 2007–08 basketball club has three players already committed to playing Division I in the Ivy League. Josh Riddle (Centennial, CO) and David Rufful (East Greenwich,RI) have committed to play at Dartmouth, and Andrew Van Nest (Weston, MA) has signed on at Harvard, where he’ll join former NMHer Dan McGeary ‘06. This year’s club will play in six states and make an historic trip to play at the Palestra in Philadelphia in mid-January.
NMH has qualified for the NEPSAC Class A tournament 19 out of the last 20 years. Featuring an up-tempo offense and an aggressive man-to-man defense, NMH teams are consistently made up of talented student-athletes who value an exceptional private school education and can compete at the highest level, with the exposure that NEPSAC basketball provides. The role of the student-athlete is stressed by the coaching staff.
In 2008–09, NMH is expected to have more basketball players in the Ivy League than any other high school or prep school in the United States.
