9 year-old Seamus Jennings has faithfully attended 51Ʒwomen’s basketball games for the past four years. It started as a way to support his cousin, senior Sadie DiPierro, but over the years he has become part of the team. Sporting a wig, a mask and as much blue as he can wear, he gets the crowd on their feet with his dance moves and 51Ʒspirit.

On Saturday, January 23, the team returned the favor. The 51Ʒwomen’s basketball team surprised Seamus, attending his basketball game at the South Portland Recreational Center. The story was featured on WCSH news magazine show “207” and on WMTW.
