2012 Conference Basketball Champions!
Written by Union Ridge School   

 Congratulations to the Varsity Boys' Basketball team and their coach, Mr. Santana.  They won the 2012 LNAC Championship.

The Huskies reached this game after an 8-2 regular season with a Blue Division title and then with victories over Rhodes and Leigh in the tournament before facing Mannheim, the Gold Division title winner, for the conference championship.

The championship game was a nail-biter from start to finish.   The Huskies trailed late in the game, down 6 with about three minutes left to play.  Sparked by a few key defensive plays they came back and hit a last second shot to win 37-36!



Mr. Santana had this to say after the game, "I want to thank all of you that supported us with well-wishes and those of you that were able to attend our run.  We had a fantastic team and we were hungry to win the championship."

The team members were:

Vinny S, Chris J, Nathan C, David P, Joseph R, Armando S, Peter C, Anthony D, Zach R, Caolan L, Keith K.
