When Tony Martinelli took over the Sacred Heart Prep boys’ basketball program, he didn’t exactly have any long-term designs on the gig. He only knew he wanted to coach varsity basketball.
Some 16 years later, Martinelli is a 300-game winner.
The Gators’ longtime coach earned his 300th varsity win in style, as SHP (3-0 WBAL Football, 9-4 overall) held on for a 61-59 victory at rival Menlo School with a fantastic finish. Junior center Erick Osterloh tallied the game-winning buzzer beater, pulling down an offensive rebound and hitting scoring the put-back.
“Pretty memorable one,” Martinelli said.
