With the first selection in the 2010 Legends Game Draft, Team White selected, Ryan Rossiter ’11. With that pick the draft was underway for the first ever Siena Legends Game to be held on Thursday. Team Green was up next. Having been granted the second and third picks, they selected Kenny Hasbrouck ’09 and Ronald Moore ’10 reuniting the former team mates.
After opening remarks from current Siena Head Coach Mitch Buonaguro the draft kicked off and the trash talk began as Rossiter, Moore, Hasbrouck, and Prosper Karangwa ‘03, the 4th pick overall exchanged jabs in anticipation of what is about to take place on the court Thursday night.
In addition to Rossiter, Prosper Karangwa ’03, Tay Fisher ’08, Clarence Jackson ’11 and Josh Duell ’09 will start for the “White” team coached by Mitch Buonaguro. Michael Haddix ’07, Marc Brown ’91 and Antoine Jordan ’06 join Moore and Hasbrouck as starters on the “Green” team coached by former Siena coach John Griffin.
NewsChannel13 sports anchor Rodger Wyland, Troy Record sports writer Andrew Santillo and Siena season ticket holder Mike O’Brien drafted the “White” team. The “Green” team was drafted by CBS6 Sports anchor Doug Sherman, Schenectady Gazette columnist Mike MacAdam and Siena season ticket holder Robert Reynolds.
Andy Grazulis ’92 was also on hand as was former Siena head coach Fran McCaffery, now head coach at Iowa.
Advanced tickets are priced at $12 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under and can only be purchased online at www.SienaSaints.com/Tickets through 12 p.m. Wednesday. Day of game tickets will be sold at the Box Office located inside the Marcelle Athletic Complex beginning at 4:30 p.m. and are priced at $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under.
