First Storm CYO Game

All the girls played well. GraceAnne had 7 pts, 2 assists, 10 blocked shots 14 rebounds and generally intimidated anyone trying to score close to the basket. She played a lot of "help" defense which resulted in too many blocked shots and fouls. Hard to do and still cover your own girl. Good to get the first game over and done. Practice Wednesday, Brittany workout at NYA in Newtown CT Sat. morning then Christ The King in Commack Saturday evening. Open gym for GCHS girl's varsity starts next week, Gus Sirakis is the coach also Grace's guidance counselor and a super nice guy.



Storm defeated St Anthony's 34-18.

Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
