Getting Booked

Georgetown students have been going to jail every week for more than 20 years. However, they are not being held for open containers. The volunteers of Georgetown Prison Outreach work with inmates to help them pass their GED high-school equivalency exam, raise their English proficiency skills and most importantly, give them confidence and hope.

“They are shining light in those dark cells,”Jennifer Gainsborough of Penal Reform International said.

Family Guys

The Hoyas aim for the NCAAs, led by John Thompson III

From Thompson Jr. to Thompson III and Ewing to Ewing Jr.; from the Westchester High School backcourt tandem of Brandon Bowman and Ashanti Cook to the Big East senior backcourt duo; from the comfort of home on the hilltop to culture shock at the southern abode of a loyal teammate: this year’s Georgetown Hoyas are much more than a 15-member team on the hard-court. They are family, members of the close-knit community that is Georgetown basketball.

“We really know what’s going on,” senior forward Brandon Bowman said of the seniors. “But we are more of a family, so everyone voices their opinion equally.”

Raptor! Raptor! Raptor!

Streaking down the court as fast as my little legs will carry me, clad in flashy blue shorts down to my shins, I hear our point guard call: ‘Raptor! Raptor!’ Raptor was a play of pure genius.
