As spring arrives, it means winter sports are coming to an end, even though winter sports are ending, there are many things to cherish from these seasons. Girls’ swim, boys and girls basketball still have their postseason to happen, so fans will be very excited to view that.
The boys’ basketball team has had a monstrous season with a record of 21-3. They have had big wins over St. Mary’s, Westminster, and Francis Howell Central this season. This team is led by junior Nolan Struckmann, who is having a phenomenal season. Other key factors to the team are starters Ace Armstrong, Luke Roberts, Austin Ryan, and Grant Giesman, who have helped lead the Crusaders to their respectable record. They have two games left in the regular season against Lutheran St. Charles and Orchard Farm.
“It has been a very special season, and I’m excited for March to start,” junior Ace Armstrong said.
The girls’ basketball team is 15-9 this season with many quality wins. The biggest highlight this season has been junior Peyton Roberts. She recently surpassed 1,000 varsity points in her career, which is a very impressive feat. Another positive in the program are the sophomores, Brianna Cole and Stella Galeano. They are second and third in points per game on the team. The future is bright for the girls’ basketball team. The girls have two games left against St. Joseph’s and Francis Howell. Hopefully, they can finish the season on a high.
The girls’ swim season is all wrapped up, besides junior Elise Poulter, who is going to state for two events. Boys hockey also finished their season with losses to Priory and Eureka in the playoffs. They had a good season overall, going 12-9-4. With few seniors graduating they should be able to bounce back next year.
Although winter sports are coming to an end, this means the start of spring sports are happening. Track, girls lacrosse, girls soccer, baseball, boys golf and boys tennis are the spring sports starting at the beginning of March. Fans will be excited to see these spring sports starting and the postseason of winter sports.
