Just prior to the start of Saturday night’s boys basketball game at GDRHS, Athletic Director Matt Ricard and Coach Greg Gillette presented Zach Romich ‘25 with his 1,000-point-club basketball, joining his brother Ryan, Class of 2010, and Greg Twomey, Class of 2004.

Zach is the 16th player in G-D’s history to accomplish this milestone. He scored 1,172 points in his career and is the all-time leader for career 3-point baskets made.
