Boys Varsity Opener

The SJS boys Varsity Gold team opened their season this past weekend in the Holy Trinity Tournament in Wallingford. The boys played 5 games over the weekend and played strong throughout to earn a spot in the finals.  Despite leading at halftime in the championship game, the boys ended up losing 44-36 vs. St. Bridget of Cheshire.  The boys played great, showed great SJS sportsmanship, and took home a second place trophy.  A great start to the season for Saint James School basketball!
