Nifty Fifty

Is 50 the coolest number in sports? Think about it: 50 home runs in a season, 50 goals in a season, 50 touchdown passes in a season (Tom Brady), 50 points in a game. It's definitely one of those milestone numbers in sports statistics.

Anyway, Keith Cothran of New Haven/URI became the first Greater Hartford Pro-Am player to notch 50 in a game Sunday night, hitting that number in Harte Nissan's 118-117 loss to the Doc Hurley All-Stars. Leading the way for Doc Hurley: Jerome Dyson (33 points) and Shabazz Napier (23).
