Granby Drummer (https://granbydrummer.com/author/tim-nolan/)
My name is Tim Nolan, and I’m a GMHS Class of 2018 grad who’s been fortunate enough to spend the last two years working as a sports anchor and reporter in Maryland — not all that long after I began this circuitous journalism route writing for the Drummer.
On March 10, Granby Memorial High School was business as usual. Classes began at 7:35 a.m. with everyone anticipating that 11 hours later the boys’ basketball team would play a first-round home game in the CIAC Division IV tournament.
For most students at Granby Memorial High School, the school day begins at about six in the morning. This gives them enough time to eat breakfast, get dressed, and catch their bus, the earliest of which comes around 6:25 a.m. They go to school until 2:20 p.m. and then go right home.
