Hi, I’m Brian Gould, Co-Founder of the Naar Classic and a student-athlete at Southern New Hampshire University.

Basketball has always been a huge part of my life, and one of the reasons I helped start the Naar Classic was to create a way for our community to come together in honor of Jake Naar. What began as a tournament among friends has grown into an event that brings together athletes, families, local businesses, and supporters each year.

As a co-founder, I help coordinate players and support the continued growth of the tournament and the Naar Classic Foundation. My goal is to ensure the event remains competitive, welcoming, and meaningful while creating a positive impact in Jake’s memory.

I’m grateful to everyone who participates, volunteers, sponsors, and supports our mission. The success of the Naar Classic is a reflection of the incredible community that continues to show up year after year.
