In recent years, both men’s and women’s basketball teams have had great stories: the men in this year’s victory over previously-undefeated UMass Dartmouth (click here for the Equinox story) and the women as they triumphed over Southern Maine for the first time since 1978 (click here for that story).

But upsets aren’t limited to basketball, and they aren’t limited to the last few years. What’s your favorite? Send stories, and pictures if you have them, to lwebb1@keene.edu by March 10. We’ll run the best of them, and we’ll take stories of big losses as well as big wins.

Welcome to KSC100, your source for news — and more — concerning the centennial celebration of Keene State College, formerly known as Keene Teachers’ College, formerly known as Keene Normal School. We’ll feature some walks down memory lane, and some opportunities for you to share your own stories and pictures of what Keene, and the school, were like in your day — even if your day is still happening. Come back often for pictures, video interviews, and stories from the past and present. And comment, often; this is your community.
