The weather gods smiled down on the Third Annual Mustang Classic Aug. 11, as the heat and humidity that has blasted the region took a break providing for the perfect setting for the event, which raises money for Putnam Science Academy’s athletic programs.
“We couldn’t have asked for better weather,” said Heather Stewart, PSA’s dean of Marketing whose team was instrumental in putting the day together.
“And everyone had a great time. We want to say thank you to everyone who came out, everyone who sponsored the event, everyone who donated something to help us out. We are so grateful and couldn’t have done it without you.”
Gerardi Insurance Services of Putnam and Choice1Graphics of Webster, were the lead sponsors of the event.
Nearly 90 golfers teed off in a shotgun start at Connecticut National in Putnam, and a couple of them came away with an award or two.
The team of Tim Cunha, Rick Bacca, Kurt LaFlamme, and Jim Colbert took first-place honors, firing a 52 in the best-ball format.
Mike Dupont, Dick Dalpe, Mark Verdone, and Ron Vargas finished two shots off the pace and in second place, followed by the third-place team of Brian Lynch, Mark Clemons, Bill Rathbone, and Steve Campaign, which finished with a 55.
No one won the brand-new truck with a hole-in-one on No. 4. Anne Kelly was the women’s winner of the longest drive. Vargas took the honor among the men. Logan Rawson took closest-to-the-pin for the men, coming within 4 feet, 4 inches; and Helene Poole was closest to the pin among the women at 28 feet, two inches.

The week may have been shorter, but the turnout and the effort were anything but for PSA’s second week of its Drills and Skills basketball camp.
“We only went three days this week because we had our golf event Thursday, but it was another great turnout and just a great couple of days,” said Mustangs coach Tom Espinosa. “Just like the one we did in the July, the kids came ready to work and have some fun.”
The day-camp was held Aug. 8-10 attended by 50 campers from Putnam, Woodstock, Eastford, Thompson, Pomfret, Plainfield, and Killingly, as well as Sutton, Dudley, and Charlton, Mass.
At the camp – for boys and girls in third-eighth grades – players worked daily on individual skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, while also participating in competitions and games by age group (NBA, Big East, and younger Big East) that led up to championship battles on the last day.
Incoming PSA basketball player Ben Ahmed coached an NBA group Cooper Brown, Iayah Burke, TJ Espinosa, Ryan Grupposo, Colin Healey, Jonah LaBonte, Greyson Marquez, and Alec Nunes to the NBA title. PSA girls assistant basketball coach TaNajia Smith guided the Big East champions team consisting of: Maximos Boulmetis, Theo DeChellis, Lucas Jankins, Dominic Kostovski, Jayden Robidoux, and Elijah Wills; while former PSA assistant boys’ coach Kevin Donovan coached Jackson Crescimanno, Teagan Espinosa, Maddy Healey, and Sean Healey to the younger Big East crown.
Individual award winners from the NBA included: TJ Espinosa (MVP, Free Throw, Hot Shot, Elbow Shooting), Alec Nunes (Mr. Hustle), and Roan Donovan (Most Improved).
In the Big East: Maximos Boulmetis (MVP, Free Throw, 1-on-1), Bryce Espinosa (Hot Shot, Elbow Shooting), Noah Charron (Mr. Hustle), and Ryder Magnuson (Most Improved).
And in the Big East younger division: Teagan Espinosa (MVP, Free Throw, Hot Shot, Elbow Shooting), Sawyer Scott (1-on-1), Jackson Crescimanno (Mr. Hustle), and Gavin Crescimanno (Most Improved).
