This series of images depicts a normal day at Loomis Chaffee club basketball. Unlike most LC athletics, club basketball is much less about who wins, and more about who has the most fun. As shown in the photos, there is lots of playing basketball and having fun, mixed with goofing off and messing around. At the end of the day, all the players go home happy, and most don’t even remember whether they won or lost. Captured in the pages of this booklet are great basketball plays, but also kids just having a ball!
