What a Season!

The Basketball Season came to an end this evening with the championship games being held over the weekend. With many teams in the playoffs and reaching all the way to the semi-finals (7th grade girls, fifth grade boys, third grade girls, eighth grade boys and others) two of our teams reached the final round vying for the championship.

On Friday night, the Third grade Boys team took the league championship in what was an exciting evening of basketball. Joshua Santiago and Frank Adler led the scoring efforts of the boys that was only hampered by occasional bolts into the bleachers for popcorn and involuntary dance moves occurring on the court. Dodging these distractions, the boys soundly defeated the St. Ambrose team to take the trophy.

This afternoon, our Sixth grade Boys team took the league championship by defeating St. Ambrose 31 to 23. Special thanks to alumni coaches Alex (Class of 2006) and Ben Khan (Class of 2008) for their leadership throughout the season.

Two championship teams and several contenders represents some real growth in our basketball program. Thanks are due to all of our players, volunteer coaches and, of course, our very inspiring Athletic Director Mr. Brett Allen.

Go Crusaders!
