#Flashback July 1st, 1993.
The introduction of Tom Fraher as the head coach at
@MSMBasketball1. Since the late 1980's, Coach Fraher has been a fixture in the
@CHSAA_NYC, as he started out at
@IonaPrep in New Rochelle, where he also graduated in 1981.
After graduating from
@stonehill_info in 1985, he came back to
@IonaPrep and was an assistant there for six years, before coming transitioning to
@MountToday in the Wakefield section of The Bronx in the fall of 1991, where he started out as the freshman coach, and led them a 42-8 record and two CHSAA freshman championships.
For the last 33 years, he has been a mainstay at the Mount, winning championships in both the A & B divisions, respectively, and sending plenty of players to college, including Jarrett Lockhart, Brendan Dunlop, Alejo Rodriguez, Peter "Tre" Aguilar III, Malik Gill, Ibrahim Wattara, Elijah Buchanan and more.
In 1994-95, he helped lead the Mount to their one and only
@NYSFederation championship. He has helped lead the Mountaineers to five
@CHSAA_NYC championships (1995, 1996, 1997, 2006 & 2011).
Today, Coach Fraher is still thriving, not only as the head coach, but also in his other roles at the school as athletic director & Director of Admissions.
S/O to him for his 35 years of service at a great institution in the North Bronx.
