The Varsity Gold Boys team enjoyed another strong week of play this week. They extended their league winning streak to 7 straight with victories at St Brigid’s of West Hartford and home versus St Paul’s of Kensington. They are on the road next week but return home for their final home game on Thursday, February 11th. That evening will be “Senior Night” for the Boys and Girls Varsity teams so please come out and support these Student Athletes, many of whom will be wrapping up league play in their final game on Saint James’ home court.  Girls tip at 6pm and the Boys follow. Please come cheer them on.  Thank you to Mrs. Donnelly for the pictures below (click pictures to enlarge).
