With football done and over what better way to start our basketball coverage with the video above. That’s La Salle 6-foot-6 senior Matt Nolan, who laid a monstrous two-hand dunk Saturday night in the Pasadena Poly Tournament, which the Lancers won after the game was called with 2:25 left and La Salle leading, 57-44. “I’ve never seen that before,” said La Salle’s longtime boys basketball coach Steve Goldstein.
