Thank You Coaches!

Some 600 coaches help out with the CYO Basketball Program grades 3 – 8.  They are an awesome group of people who give an awful lot of themselves to make this program happen for kids.  They are all volunteers who do it from the depth of their heart.  Here are a few of the coaches I came across this past weekend at the 6,7,8 grade championships:

Paul Boileau, from St. John Fisher, Rick Skayhan, Director of the Ref Corps Officials, and Coach Mildenberger from Holy Family

Christ the King beat Holy Trinity in pre-season play. Christ the King finished third in 2014. Holy Trinity fans came to the game decked out in Red and white ready to cheer! HT student fans had player heads cut out of paper pasted onto sticks. Holy Trinity took decisive control of the game in the first quarter outscoring CTK 15 – 0 with 30 seconds left. Christ the King got on track in the second quarter, began grabbing rebounds, making some GREAT shots including two three pointers by Jackson Jaha. Two free throws by Jaha, with 46 seconds left in the game tied the game 19 – 19. In the third quarter, Holy Trinity went on a 20 point scoring spree, outdistancing CTK by 14 points. With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Isaiah Baker fouled out of the game just as CTK ignited a comeback. Unfortunately, CTK was not able to catch up with Holy Trinity but it was a great game to watch from beginning to end. Lots of talent on both teams! 6B1HT
