Holy Cross Named Sun Team Of The Week
UNCASVILLE, CT. (January 9, 2007) — Holy Cross High School of Waterbury was selected as the Connecticut Sun High School Girls’ Basketball Team of the Week Tuesday after improving to 9-0 with a 66-54 victory over previously-undefeated Torrington on Saturday.
Kelly McKeon and Kaitlin Ciarleglio each had 19 points for Holy Cross, which is ranked No. 3 in the New Haven Register Girls’ Basketball Poll. The Crusaders also beat Watertown last Tuesday behind 23 points from McKeon.
Each Tuesday during the high school girls’ basketball regular season, the Connecticut Sun will recognize one Team of the Week. That team will receive a commemorative plaque, courtesy of the Connecticut Sun and Barker Specialty. Hamden High, Fairfield Ludlowe and Norwich Free Academy are the other teams that have been recognized this season.
The Team of the Week is the latest in a series of initiatives undertaken by the Connecticut Sun to highlight local girls’ high school basketball, where future WNBA stars are already competing. The Sun also conduct a high school tour, host the CIAC Championship luncheon and recognize the four CIAC Class champions during a ceremony at halftime of a regular season game.
