Summer Hoop is Back: A Winthrop Institution is Back in the Game

How great is it that the Winthrop Men’s Summer League has returned to the McKenna Courts. At its height, the league, under the direction of Peter Grimes and Phil Lundberg, was one of the most popular and competitive in the area. Phil is at the helm of the league and seven teams will be competing this season.

We thank Director of Parks and Recreation Sean Driscoll for getting the ball rolling and helping return summer basketball to the town and for his work in bringing new backboards and the painting of new lines to the McKenna Courts.

We hope to see Winthrop resident spending some of their nights watching games at the court.
