Henry Walsh
Wakefield School Student
My Biography:
My name is Henry Walsh, and I am a senior at Wakefield School. I will be attending JMU in the fall with the goal of studying environmental science. With me standing at 6’8”, basketball became a part of my life when I came to Wakefield, playing under my now Senior Thesis Guide, Mr. Pennisi. Before Wakefield, I had never played basketball before, but I was open to trying it (A winter sport was required). I am glad to say that I have grown to love basketball and am grateful that I had the opportunity to write about it all year. I enjoyed researching and learning more about basketball history throughout this year, especially learning about the stars of the past like Wilt Chamberlain and their impact on the game today. I think it is important to not overlook the influence of centers on the league and instead learn about their history in the NBA.
