PITTSFIELD — Jack Racette had to think a minute when he was asked about being named the boys' basketball coach of the year at the second annual The Berkshire Eagle All Stars Gala. After all, Racette did get to share the stage with his son Reece, the basketball player of the year.
"It's been a long journey. Not just [Racette and Scott McGuire], but all the seniors, they've really worked over the last four years," the Drury coach said. "It's nice having your son a part of it. I've been coaching a long time, so to get the first one with him and the other guys, that's pretty special."
Jack and Reece Racette were among the winners of 90 different awards given out at the Gala Wednesday night at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Berkshires. Reece Racette was named the basketball player of the year, while Scott McGuire, Jr., was named the offensive player of the year. The Drury trio were honored, in part, for their individual and team success that included Jack Racette's first Western Massachusetts championship as a coach.
