Work From Home

The Quincy College mens basketball team is on the rise.When SportsCenter 5 last checked in two years ago, the Granite were nomads, playing in a middle school gym and mostly on the road.Now, they have a home court at Quincy High School and have ascended to the nineth team in the Division 3 Junior College national rankings (NJCAA).The program was started just seven years ago by head coach Doug Scott.”It’s remarkable sometimes when you believe in people, and you love them,” Scott said. “And when they make mistakes, you still love them.”Six-foot-eight Eldon Terry, of Brockton, is hoping to attract four-year college recruiting, as one of the top interior defenders in the nation.”I at least average about four blocks a game,” Terry said. “I’ve got 60 right now leading the nation.”Not only was the Granite’s defense impressive, but the offense really showed their skill as well.”I’m shooting pretty well this year,” Quincy College guard and Attleboro native Marcus White said. “I think I shoot above 40% from three right now. I’m having a solid season, but as a team, I think we are 13-2.”White’s team is averaging an outstanding 94 points per game.The same day at the YMCA in Quincy, NewsCenter 5 saw a group of young men who are committed to their team and are preparing for a life beyond the court.”They make sure education is always first. Class, teachers, communicating with teachers, you’ve got to use your resources to succeed,” Terry added.A link to the Granite’s remaining schedule can be found here: Basketball | Quincy College
