Basketball: Shanahan's Booth to play at St. Joseph's

Bishop Shanahan's Michael Booth, a 6-foot-4 senior guard, will join the Joseph's University as a preferred walk-on.

Booth averaged 18 points per game last season and drilled 53 three-pointers. He was a first-team all-Ches-Mont League National Conference selection.

Booth is the the grandson of Harry Booth, former head baseball and basketball coach at St. Joseph's in the 1970's, and assistant basketball coach at Villanova under Rollie Massimino from 1980-86.

Also joining Booth as a preferred walk-on at St. Joseph's will be St. Joseph's Prep senior guard Kyle Thompson.
