NMH Coach Chalks Up 300th Win

Basketball Coach Chalks Up 300th Win

GILL, MA— Northfield Mount Hermon School shattered two records February 16 in a 106-68 win against Worcester Academy. First, Bill Batty, an NMH graduate of the class of 1959, led NMH to his 300th career win. Batty's record over the past 19 years now stands at 300-144 for a winning percentage of nearly 70 percent.

The record-breaking night continued as the 2006-2007 boys varsity team broke the school record for wins in a season with 22. NMH had a great night of basketball and played one of their more inspired games of the season.

Worcester’s early lead evaporated as scoring by Jerrell Williams '07, Gary Correia '07, and RJ Rutledge '07 rallied the Hoggers. Terrell Williams '07, Ty Nash '07, and Matt Glass '07 also added to the point tally as the game progressed. Bud Gaffney '07, Derrick Thomas '09, and Brian Jones '09 closed out the scoring for NMH over the final 5 minutes as NMH went on to the convincing victory over Worcester Academy and Bill Batty's 300th win.
