Think about some of the most famous basketball — pro or college — rivalries you may have heard of. Lakers vs. Celtics, Knicks vs. Heat, Duke vs. North Carolina and Louisville vs. Kentucky have circled some of the most memorable games and moments in the sport.

But there's one other rivalry that might just take the cake: Farrell seniors vs. Farrell faculty.

In a dramatic showdown on May 2, the faculty and seniors clashed on the Monsignor Farrell basketball court, gathering a large crowd of students and staff. The intense battle between skill and teamwork, with the faculty ultimately being victorious with a final score of 46-36.

Leading the charge for the faculty team were Mr. DellaValle and Father Pomeisl, who displayed amazing scoring abilities throughout the game. However, it was Mr. Baldassano's impressive display of three-pointers in the final moments that sealed the win for the faculty squad.
