While the rest of the student body is either back at home or working a job or internship, each summer starting in 2009 the Whitman men's basketball team has extended its collective hand out to the rest...
In the first meeting for the Whitman men’s basketball team with that school up north, Whitworth, the rivalry upheld its growing reputation as one of the most exciting in Division-III sports. In what seems to be a trend between these two teams, the last few plays of the game Tuesday night were the deciding factor in the result, ending in an 84-80 loss for the Missionaries. With the loss Whitman drops to 5-2 and third in the Northwest Conference.
Coming from an impressive pre-college basketball career including playing on the Australian Under-14 National team and at the Under-17 world championships, Phil Chircu is now an integral part of the Whitman men’s varsity basketball team.
