On January 27, The Hotchkiss School marked a memorable moment with the dedication of its basketball court in the William C. Fowle Gymnasium as Khoury Court, honoring alumnus John Khoury ’95 and his family. The ceremony, held just before a game against Williston, was attended by Hotchkiss Trustees, Williston representatives, students, and special guests John Khoury, his wife Breanna, their children, and John’s sister Jennie Khoury Applebaum ’94.
The dedication acknowledged the Khoury family's significant contributions to Hotchkiss's basketball program. John Khoury, a former varsity basketball captain and a current member of the Board of Trustees, has been instrumental in shaping the program's success. His tenure as a player marked a turning point for Bearcat basketball, leading to its growth into a prominent program.
Craig Bradley, along with Joe Busacca, head coach of the boys varsity basketball team, and team captains Carter Warren ’24, Davyn de Jongh ’24, and Dean Hogans ’25, led the ceremony. They expressed gratitude to the Khoury family for their unwavering support and presented a signed basketball and jerseys to the family.
The event culminated with the boys varsity basketball team inaugurating Khoury Court with an official game and win over Williston. This dedication not only celebrates John Khoury's legacy but also signifies the ongoing strength and spirit of the Hotchkiss basketball program.
