Senior Boys Basketball
Crusaders hard fought season comes to an end.
Last night the Crusaders season came to a halt against their rivals from Regi. After a low scoring first quarter the Panthers exploded to take an 11 point lead at the half. The Crusaders closed the gap back to 35-33 in the fourth quarter, but key free throws locked the game up for Regi. The Crusaders fought hard throughout the season, compiling a 5-6 record, with a number of the losses being very close, hard fought games. Holy Cross should be looking forward to next season with a number of returning players including Cameron McCauley, Connor Shkimba, Corey Flude, Derek Fox, Matt Clancy, Pat Pospisil, Tigh Chapman and Trevor Reade. Good luck next season.

The Crusaders finished the Senior Boys Basketball season on a high note with a 64-54 victory over the Q.E. Raiders. The game was tight in the beginning but the Crusaders began to pull away in the second quarter and had a 9 point lead at the half. Holy Cross came out on fire in the third quarter and extended their lead to 20, but the Raiders closed the gap back to 6 points midway through the fourth quarter. The Crusaders managed to stop the Raiders the rest of the way and held on for the 10 point win. Good job Crusaders and good luck in the playoffs.
