This from Glenn Thomas, FDR High boys’ basketball coach: “In all my years of coaching basketball on various levels,” he writes, “This was a first.
“A girls’ basketball game at our school (FDR) was temporarily interrupted due to a cockroach running around just underneath the visiting team’s bench. Needless to say, all bedlam had broken loose. Luckily, I was sitting in the corner of the gym and was able to go over and rid the little friend from our gym.”
By the way, Fort Hamilton topped FDR, 44-20.
Thomas has a dining tip as well: “For my Brooklyn friends, I had dinner at Barbalu on Bergen Street between Smith and Court streets in Cobble Hill. The owners are from Italy, they and their staff are super-friendly and the food is absolutely delicious.
“I highly recommend it. If you’re like me and love pizza, this is the place for you.”
