After a 2020-2021 school
year without basketball, the
St. Catharine Academy Huskies
couldn’t wait to get back
on the court and compete for a
CHSAA Tier 3 title. The team
is led by their six seniors and
head coach, Mike Rosario, who
wanted to make up for missing
their junior year. The team
rolled through the regular season
and fi nished with a record
of 9-1. Their only loss was a two
point, triple overtime loss to
Cathedral High School.
The Huskies fi rst opponent
in the 2022 CHSAA playoffs
was Cristo Rey High School
from Brooklyn. St. Catharine’s
led after the fi rst quarter but a
late run by Cristo Rey near the
end of the half, gave the Brooklyn
school a 20-19 lead at half.
The Huskies came out strong
and pulled away in the second
half and went on to win by a
score of 46-28. With their victory
SCA advanced to the NYC
Championship on Saturday,
March 5.
The stage was set for an
exciting NYC Championship
game between No. 1 seed SCA
and No. 2 seed Cathedral High
School. The championship
game was held on the court of
SUNY Maritime in Throggs
Neck. The excitement was palpable
as fans from both teams
cheered throughout the game.
It was a low scoring game
throughout with neither team
able to pull away. With 30 seconds
left, SCA led by four
points. Cathedral took the ball
up the court and make a long
three-pointer to cut the lead to
one. SCA was able to control
the ball and run out the clock
for a 30-29 win.
