Conor Meany on basketball: Dynamite Dasher delivers on the biggest stage

The focus has mainly been on Paul Dick and Kason Harrell this year, but this Killester are so much more than that and are deserving champions.

Dasher delivers for Killester

In the first month of the season, I thought Killester had made a mistake with their recruitment. Isiah Dasher was averaging 14 points a game and Baptise Chazeles looked to be too undersized to survive as their only big. Jonny Grennell’s vision has played out though, with a team that plays intense defense and with a pace that no other team in the country can live with. On the biggest stage this season’s two additions both delivered with MVP Dasher incredible in scoring a season-high 31, including 11 in the key fourth-quarter push that separated the teams.
