A
record breaking season for Kevin Hanson
February 24, 2009 was a big night for FFCS senior Kevin Hanson.
With just 2:35 left in the Braves' first round sectional game
against Mechanicville, Kevin drained a three-pointer from the
top of the key and entered into Fonda-Fultonville sports
history. That three raised his career scoring total to 1240
points. Kevin's new mark eclipsed the 34-year old record
of 1239 set by FFCS Athletic Director Alex Mancini in 1975. Over
the remaining two games, Kevin added another 25 points bringing
his total to 1265—and if history is any indication, that record
might be around for a long while.
Season ends for boys and girls hoops
Fonda-Fultonville boys and girls basketball teams saw their
