Getting off to a successful start helped set the pace for the success of the
                                         Varsity Basketball Team.  Coached by Courtney Fusz, the girls had the opportunity
                                         to heighten their experience as basketball players.  Led by Captain Danielle
                                         Dimitriou, the team began the season by bringing home the Tournament Champi­
                                         onship trophy from the Westlake Tourney.  With a mixture of ages making up the
                                         team, the girls came together and shared  the same goals: to play to their potential,
                                         and  to win. By sticking to these goals,  the girls turned heads on  the court this year.
                                         Stepping up  this season were juniors Jamie Connors and Taylor McKenna, scoring,
                                         rebounding, and  stealing whenever they had  the opportunity, leaving a positive
                                         outlook for next year.


                                                 Under the leadership of Co-captains Kaitlin Tierney and Megan Breen, the
                                         JV Basketball team has emerged into a fierce squad to be reckoned with, that will
                                         surely carry HC Basketball in the up-coming years.  Guided by first year coach John
                                         Baldini,  the girls have worked hard and practiced  long hours to achieve a success­
                                         ful season.  Nine freshmen made the team, showing the caliber of the athletes that
                                         are presented here at Holy Child.  Many of the girls who participate on travel
                                         teams have time to sharpen their skills and mechanics and in turn are top-notch
                                         when they step on  the court in their school gym.  Tierney and Breen make  their
                                         presence known on the court and are both fine examples of dedicated and diligent
                                         leaders.  Attitude reflects leadership, and it shows with this team.
