By Ron P. Coderre

As July turns to August and schools prepare for opening their doors to students, Putnam Science Academy, which has yet to consummate the sale to seal the opening of school, the basketball program has signed another recruit.  Confident of the September 8 projected opening of school, coach Tom Espinosa has lassoed a Texan as his final recruit for the 2015-2016 season.

Danny Salamah, an all-around guard, has indicated he’ll be on the Maple St. Campus in September.  Salamah, who hails from Garland, Texas, recently completed his senior season.  He was a four-year basketball player, who started on the Garland varsity for three seasons.  He comes to the 06260 zip code as a highly regarded recruit who brings versatility to the hardwood.  He was a First Team All District selection his final two seasons with Garland High School.

Salamah, who captained the Garland basketball team during his junior and senior seasons, averaged 14 points and four rebounds per game as a senior.  He also dished out three assists per contest, while playing for coach Randy Love, a former six-year National Football League player with the St. Louis Rams. 

Espinosa’s stable of Mustangs appears complete as Salamah is the 13th recruit to indicate he’ll be attending Putnam Science Academy in September.  The Mustangs will be attempting to get to the National Prep School Championships for the third successive season.
