Alicia Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium

 

 

---

In 2000 we began construction on our gymnasium floor. The floor was donated by Lamco Finishers. The floor is the actual 1999 NCAA championship floor. It took 3 years to complete with the help of  faculty, students, parents, and church members. The first game played on the floor was February 2003 with a win over Community Christian School.

History:
UConn, coached by Jim Calhoun, wins the national title with a 77-74 victory in the final game over Duke. Tournament MVP Richard Rip Hamilton scored 27 points and pulled down 7 rebounds for the Huskies. This was a significant victory for the program, as it cemented their reputation as a true basketball power after decades of barely missing the Final Four.

Notable Players who have played on the floor: Richard Hamilton (Detriot Pistions), Elton Brand (76ers), Shane Battier (Houston Rockets).
