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 is considered the best combination of academics and basketball in the United States. In 2010-2011, NMH has 8 players in the Ivy League, more than any other school in the Nation, with players at Brown University, Cornell University, 3 at Dartmouth College and 3 at Harvard University. In all, NMH will have over 25 players Division I in 2010-2011 at the University of Notre Dame, University of Louisville, University of Vermont, George Washington University, UMASS, LaSalle University, Howard University, Pepperdine University, Lafayette College, American University, Bucknell University, and others. The 2011 squad will continue the Ivy League connection as Joe Sharkey ’11 gave a verbal to Brown University and Coach Jesse Agel. Heading to the Big East, Aaron Cosby ’11 will play for Coach Kevin Willard at Seton Hall University.

The 2010-2011 team had 7 players committed to play Division I at Harvard University (Laurent Rivard, Montreal, CAN and Matt Brown, Barrington, RI) , Pepperdine University (Pasadena, CA), Fairfield University (Majok Majok, Perth, AUS) and University of Vermont (Josh Elbaum, Wheatley Heights, NY and Clancy Rugg, Burlington, VT).

NMH basketball has been ranked among the top 5 teams in the country both of the past 2 years and was the National Championship finalist in 2010. NMH has been among the top 10 ranked basketball programs for the past 6 years and 9 out of the past 10 years. In 2007, NMH finished as the 7th-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. The 2008-2009 team raced out to a 13-2 record, was ranked the 5th best team in the country during the season and finished the year ranked 10th in the nation.

The 2009-2010 NMH basketball again distinguished NMH as the best combination of academics and basketball in the country. NMH was ranked the #3 team in the country and tied a school record for 23 wins. NMH defended their Blair Academy Coaches vs. Cancer championship, went undefeated at the National Prep Tip-Off Classic and was the 3rd seed in the NEPSAC Class A tourney where they went to the semi-finals. NMH was the #5 seed in the Prep School National Championship tournament and knocked off #4 Notre Dame Prep and the #1 seed and undefeated Hargrave Military Academy before losing 79-76 in the National Championship game.

NMH has qualified for the NEPSAC Class A tournament 21 out of the last 22 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.
