The 5th Annual Jeremy Saxe Memorial Basketball Tournament

Last Saturday, the brothers of the Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon hosted the 5th Annual Jeremy Saxe Memorial 3v3 Basketball Tournament in the Kamine Gym. Teams spent the week signing up and preparing for either the competitive or noncompetitive bracket, both of which received a large turnout.

The noncompetitive bracket was won by brothers Dan Toutoungi, Andrew O’Brien and Will Brandt, who relied on tenacious defense to win the championship trophy.

The competitive bracket featured several marquee matchups. Lafayette basketball star Tony Johnson teamed up with two members of the Lafayette football team, while Bryce Scott, another member of the basketball team, headlined a team of his own.

The two squads met in the championship game. With a large crowd on hand, the highly competitive game did not disappoint, but in the end, the rookies were no match for Johnson and company. Brothers Michael Kelley, Rob Howe, and Charles Roberts finished in third place.

DKE would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up to participate and to those who worked to make this event possible. An estimated $7000 to $8000 was raised for the Jeremy Saxe Foundation, which was created in honor of brother Jeremy Saxe ‘09. Its mission is to strengthen education and development in Nepal. The foundation awards educational scholarships to underprivileged children, has built a daycare center so that young mothers can continue their education, and is in the process of building a K-6 Elementary school.


Lastly, DKE would like to extend a special thank you to the Lafayette women’s basketball team, which came out to the tournament in full support. DKE is already looking forward to continuing their status as the team’s SuperFans next season.
