Young St. Helen’s Team Wins Cyo Title

By Posted on

The third-grade team from St. Helen’s Church in Howard Beach won the CYO Brooklyn Queens Tournament Championship game last Saturday, Mar. 16, 28-15, against a strong Sacred Heart (Bayside) team. The tournament started with a pool of 24 4th grade teams, and the team played against older competition all tournament, yet still came out on top. It wasn’t an easy game though and Sacred Heart came out shooting strong from the start and by halftime St. Helen’s was down by one point. However, the defense stepped it up and only gave up three points in the entire second half, highlighted by two diving out of bound saves by Alex Loprinzi and Joey Frazzetta. The offense was orchestrated by the guard play and scoring from John McCabe, the shot blocking and rebounding of Marco Jannis, and the very timely three-pointers by Anthony Russo. Shown in the top row (from left to right) are coach Nick LoPrinzi, Brian Weigand, Matthew Bodziony, John McCabe, Marco Jannis, Alexander Michael, James Fleming, Anthony Gurino and coach John McCabe; and bottom row (from left to right) Nico Parrinello, Joey Frazzetta, Alex LoPrinzi, David Leibman, Anthony Russo and Michael DeRicco.
