It was quite an eventful boys basketball night in Fairfield County.
Down in New Canaan, St. Joseph defeated New Canaan 69-65 to earn the 800th career victory for coach Vito Montelli (above with Greg Langston).
Over in Harding’s Miska Gymnasium, all-state forward Tevin Baskin put on an offensive and defensive show, scoring a triple double to help top-ranked Trinity Catholic roar past Harding, 72-58.
Baskin wowed the crowd with 29 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks. Eric Jean-Guillaume added 14 for the unbeaten Crusaders (11-0, 9-0 FCIAC).

Mr. Baskin after watching him for the first time last night at Harding H.S. is so dominating that he can play at the next level tomorrow. I think! And I am not the only one see that. He’s very very good , he is jewel to watch on the court because he is special. Believe me. SB.
