St. Bernard High School’s boys basketball team won their first state championship in 41 years with an impressive victory over Staples of Westport in the CIAC Division 2 championship game. Staples was led by Christopher Zajac, who scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the championship game. Despite an admirable effort, Staples was never in the game after a close first quarter in which they only trailed by one point, 9-8.
The win was not just a title for his players and their school, but for the communities that send their children to the Catholic high school in Monteville. The school and the community should be proud of the team’s accomplishment. St. Bernard’s victory was due to their impressive display of athleticism and skills, particularly by Amare Marshall, who displayed eye-popping athleticism throughout the game. The team’s impressive skills and consistent efforts throughout the season have paid off with a state championship win.
St. Bernard Secures State Championship Title with Impressive Performance
St. Bernard High School’s boys basketball team has secured its first state championship since 1982 with a 63-50 win over Staples of Westport in the CIAC Division 2 championship game on Sunday. The game was played at Mohegan Sun Arena, where St. Bernard had the shortest commute among the competitors. However, the team’s outstanding performance was not due to their proximity to the venue but rather their speed, athleticism, and skill.
The game started off with a close contest between the two teams, but St. Bernard soon began to pull away with their impressive array of dunks, circus shots, blocked shots, and ankle-breaking drives. The team was led by senior Cedrick Similien, who scored 21 points and grabbed five rebounds, and 6-foot-6-inch sophomore Amare Marshall, who finished with 15 points and four rebounds. Senior Ryan Outlow added 10 points and seven rebounds to the tally. Marshall’s skywalking slam in the second quarter particularly thrilled the crowd and sparked a St. Bernard run.
St. Bernard had been the tournament favorites, having been seeded No. 1 with a 17-3 record in the regular season. The seeds of victory were planted all year long with a steady dose of hard work in the gym and discipline, according to St. Bernard Boys Basketball Coach Mark Jones. The team’s impressive skills and consistent efforts throughout the season have paid off with a state championship win.
Following the victory, Coach Jones expressed his happiness for the team’s hard work and dedication. Winning the state championship is something that the players will cherish for their lives, he said. The team’s impressive performance and victory will be remembered as a great memory by the players and supporters alike.
Staples, meanwhile, enjoyed a good regular season as well, going 15-5 and seeded No. 7 in the Division 2 CIAC tournament. However, the team could not match the impressive skills and athleticism displayed by St. Bernard, who pulled away for a comfortable win.
St. Bernard’s win was not just a result of their proximity to the venue. It was a testament to their impressive skills, athleticism, and discipline, which were evident throughout the game. The team’s outstanding performance in the championship game will be remembered as an entertaining display of high school hoops despite the one-sided victory.
