People seemed to write off the Trinity Catholic High School girls basketball team after it opened the season with a pair of losses.
But the Crusaders have come storming back with eight straight wins, the most impressive being tonight’s 48-37 decision over Danbury.
Trinity gets strong inside play from sisters Cayleigh and Mackenzie Griffin, and Eileen Ornousky, has a defensive stopper in Clare O’Leary, a good point guard in Erin Sottosanti and an underrated bench.
In a wide-open league, the Crusaders showed tonight they are as capable as anyone of winning the conference title.
I caught up with Trinity coach Tom Kriz after tonight’s game. He discussed the reasons for his team’s success, against the Hatters and during their recent roll.
Dave,
Nice interview. The FCICA girls league is wide open this year. Danbury has been playing good basketball so far this year. I know TC is right in the mix of the league. It’s going to be fun and see what teams end up in the finals of the FCICA. I think on any given night, one team can beat the other. I am taking about the top teams in the league.
