2021-2022 Season Summary​​
​​The boys had a strong start to the season winning their first game of the season against LCVI. Two days later comes their game against LSS where defense was put on show only allowing 38 points in a tough loss. After a tough loss to Frontenac, Holy Cross shows they don't take losses like this easily, winning four straight games with a huge wins against ESS and MR. In what was possibly the chippiest game of the season, the PH classic showed a lot of heart from the boys battling after being down big, Matt Mignault especially showed what hard work can do to change a game, winning player of the game in the process. Regardless of this loss, HC showed what they can accomplish when giving 100%. For the last game of the regular season, Holy Cross plays Bayridge in a playoffs preview. This 61-53 loss showed the boys what they had to improve, and in their next game with a new game plan and improved energy, Holy Cross would flip the script and win 63-43, a 28 point difference from their first meeting. Going into the semi finals, Holy Cross was faced with a tough opponent in FSS. The score of this game is not a full story as HC actually won quarters 2 and 3. Being the last game that some of the boys would play in high school, the energy that HC brought was impressive, big runs for Frontenac was what cost them the game but in an underdog story Holy Cross proved they deserved to be there and made this game chippy, energetic, and very fun to watch, even with multiple players out due to sickness. Not enough could be said about the team this season, a wonderful group of guys whos main goal was to win. Improvement throughout the season was clear as losses quickly translated to wins and leads were dissipated​. It's tough to see players not returning next season but coaches are optimistic for next years player and training for next season is already underway. The boys really made the school proud and showed what it means to be a Crusader.

2019-2020 Season Summary

The boys started this years season off strong with 5 consecutive wins in order against LCVI, MR, NDSS, LSS, and ESS. They had a strong finish against LCVI, and were faced with 2 close games afterwards, scoring 50-41 against MR, and 68-64 against NDSS. After their season starting 5-game winning streak, they were next faced with FSS, where they unfortunately were defeated 56-31. The boys regained their composure for their next opponent and picked up steam as they won their next 2 games back-to-back against BSS and then against RND during the Annual Memorial game. The emotionally-packed Memorial posed to be quite a show with both teams fighting for the lead, and the HC boys clearly proved their spirit and drive by taking the final lead at 50-47 with an outstanding team defensive effort, especially noted from our own Jack Stevens limiting Frontenac's  Kinstler. Special note to fund-raising done at the Memorial, led by JT.   The boys next faced SHS, where the nail-biting game unfortunately came out as SHS-67, HC-66, a hard fought game where the boys all showed character and grit despite the final outcome. The boys quickly bounced back from the previous game and regained their composure, showing once again their overall grit, defeating LSS in the quarter-final 43-39. Finally they were faced against FSS in the semi-final, where unfortunately they were unable to come out on top. The boys wrapped up the season with 14 points - 7 wins and 3 losses, as well as more than a few dunks from Mike Kelvin. Despite the ups and downs, the boys finished with a record-breaking 40 practices during  season - more than any previous year in team history.  This just goes to show the dedication and hard with that the boys put into this year's season. The coaches don't want to say goodbye to the returning players from this year, but are looking forward to next year as the team's tireless hard work and dedication this year will outline what it means to be a Crusader in Sr Boys Basketball.
