 St. Camillus / St. Virgilius Basketball Is Back & so Are the MVPs

Ava Masullo Girls League

By Bill Swensen

The St. Camillus/ St. Virgilius basketball program is underway with 150 local kids from 4th grade to 8th grade, playing in the Girls and Boys leagues. Here are some standout players this week.

Ava was a dynamo all through this game. She sliced through the defense all game long and led her team in scoring with 15 points. But it wasn’t just her scoring that was so impressive. It was also her ability to captain the team and perfectly orchestrate the offense. She was the key reason that her team was able to pull out a hotly contested three-point victory.

 

Ben Good
Junior Boys League

The Junior Boys game between Purple and Tan was as exciting a game as one could hope for. The Purple team trailed the entire game. They were behind 10 points heading into the fourth quarter, but they never stopped fighting. Ben led his team in scoring and was the main reason the team was able to mount a huge comeback. But that wasn’t the most amazing thing. Purple had to inbound the ball with three seconds on the clock. The ball got passed to Ben and he hit an incredible turn-around jumper at the buzzer to give the Purple team an awesome one-point win.

 

Mason Hance
Senior Boys League

This Senior Boys games was the best comeback of the night. The Yellow team was trailing by 11 points heading into the fourth quarter. The Tan team had dominated all game. Then Mason came along. He led his team in scoring with 23 points, but much more important than that, he made an incredible five 3s in the fourth quarter. He was solely responsible for this amazing comeback that led to a two-point victory.

 

Liam McCormick
Senior Boys League

Liam put on a shooting performance unlike any this league has seen before. He knocked down seven 3s while leading his Orange team to a convincing 10-point win. It wasn’t just that he made the seven 3s, he never missed. OK, he missed one. Watching him shoot with this incredible accuracy was remarkable. We’ve had some amazing shooting from beyond the arc in the past, but this one topped them all.
