 Our fourth inductee is Anthony Fitzgerald. Anthony was a four-year starter in men's basketball from 2003 to 2006 and led the Mustangs to their first NCAA birth as a senior. He is the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,103 points. The all-time leading rebounder with 1,496 rebounds. Anthony led the country in rebounding in each of his final two seasons. To me, when you think of Villa Giulia basketball, Anthony Fitzgerald is the first thing that comes to mind, you know, without question. And again, you know, beyond the statistics, gosh, this is amazing. You know, he was always around. Everybody on campus knew who he was. Everyone knew who Fitzgerald was. And, you know, not just because of basketball, you know, he, you know, crowds flocked to him. I mean, even the cafeterias workers knew, you know, had a relationship with him. I mean, there's no way that he went on this campus all around that he didn't build relationships. And again, you know, to me, he speaks values about his, you know, his personality, you know, and the way that he leads his life. He's one of the only guys that's one of maybe two or three guys that's ever done what he's done in the history of Division III basketball, you know, 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds. You know, that's two careers for some people. So statistically, you know, you have no choice but to respect him. But again, for a guy that has those type of talents and capabilities, you know, he's very approachable. He brought everybody together. Like, I think it was him, but he rubbed off on everybody around him. More things came together, you know, more people came together when he was around. It's just, you know, when I look at it now, and I look at the first day I saw that kid to watching him, you know, the man he's been come. I can still hear people saying, you know, everybody's leaps on Anthony, Anthony, Anthony, you know. You think of Villa Julie basketball, Steven basketball, you're thinking of Anthony Fitzgerald. From the class of 2006, it is my honor to welcome Anthony Fitzgerald into the Dick Watts Athletics Hall of Fame. I think I left my cards in the cup. No, I didn't. First given honor to God. This is just a, this is just a blessed opportunity to be here. Thank you for my parents and all my family support. I got a lot of family here right now. A lot of moms, a lot of dads. But first, I would like all my guys that I'll play with to stand up. Let me thank you guys for missing a lot of shots for me. But no, I missed a lot of shots for myself as well, though, so I can get a putback. But it's just an honor to be here. I mean, not a big talker. I don't like to talk a lot. But my best friend is actually funny because I had the opportunity to go play Division I basketball. And it was like, oh, let's go to prep school. Let's do this. I don't, I mean, I like education, but not that much to do high school for a fifth year. And so I decided to come to Villa Julie, which has been an amazing experience. I got to meet a lot of people. Like my guy Kenny said, I like to eat. So I had to be friends with the cafeteria people. And you know, you broke in college, so. I'm thankful for my managers and especially my coach over here. He's my guy. He made a lot to me, gave me the green light. I know you used to get on me all the time. You used to try to be tough on me and I thought it was funny. Before every game, I had the best match up in the gym. I was like, coach, it's fine. So what I used to do is before coach talk, I don't think he knew this. I used to dip off and go to the restroom somewhere before we started talking. He was like, where you going? I used to bat from coach because I know you're going to say I got a match up for the night. Didn't even matter who it was. And another person I wanted to definitely give a shout out to is my guy coach Teddy. He thought I was the best player in the country. Division I, Division II, Division III. He thought I was the best in the country. And, you know, it made me feel good because I felt like I was the best. Like, coach should be like, we just had an open gym up here and we invited Carmelo and Anthony and everybody into the gym. But I told coach, I said they can come up here, but we knew who ran this gym. Regardless of who they was, the guy, George Moore, just came off a national championship. He walked in the gym, hid high. Like, all right, that's fine. He can get it to you just like everybody else. And I try to tell people, and I coach high school now and I try to tell people, it's really not a separation from any level of basketball. And the biggest thing that got me over the hump was my heart. I was a 6'5", 4", but it didn't matter who I played against. And it was a blessing that I was able to come here and do something special. And not too much more to say, but I'm still close with a lot of the guys that's here right now. At least three of my best friends and y'all seen Kenny. He the one that got me here. I don't know why, but we was here. But Steve, Chris, Phil, I don't mean to leave anybody out. Got a lot of guys here, Mike, Hub, a lot of guys here that's here for me now. Miss Rouse, Miss Noia, I could go on. But it's been a blessing to come here and do something special and share this occasion. And I would like to thank my brother, told me a lot of tough things. He thought he could beat me when I was younger, but it was cool. Special shout out to my beautiful girlfriend that's here with me today. Yeah, I know, I know. This is a little weird. I had to, I had to. It's been an honor, my God, saying what I coach with now. We're trying to take over Baltimore City and basketball. Coach at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute came a long way. We won our first city championship in 132 years for the first time last year. And the biggest thing that I've learned is we have a lot of kids on scholarship. You know, in the last five years, these kids are going to school for free. I said, use this as a tool to get where you need to be. And I use it to get where I need to be. I'm very successful, thankful, and I'm blessed. And I just want to thank everybody that came out tonight. It's been an honor. Thank you, guys. For someone who doesn't enjoy education, he spent the next two years helping our second NCAA tournament team as a coach and a grad assistant. So he spent two more years in education. He followed that up working for our federal government and social security. Today I received this from the Senate of Maryland, Thomas D. Mike Miller, a president. And it is a citation resolution. Be it hereby known to all that Senate of Maryland offers its sincerest congratulations to Anthony Fitzgerald in recognition of your induction to the Stevenson University Athletic Hall of Fame. He has had success in his undertakings, for the Lord was with him. Thank you.
