SSPP Boys JV Win Santa Hoops Tournament AGAIN!

SSPP Boys JV Parish Teams did well in the Santa Hoops Tournament hosted by Saints Phillip & James and Saints Peter & Paul. The last three JV Boys teams in the tournament were the three SSPP parish teams. SSPP-1 battled hard against SSPP-3 to win and advance to the finals against SSPP-2.

SSPP-1 & SSPP-2 played each other closely through the first game in the final round with the score tied at the end of regulation. SSPP-1 won the game in OT. In the follow-up game the score was 16-15 at the half with another tight match. Both teams played exceptionally well with SSPP-1 taking the first place trophy and SSPP-2 taking the runner-up trophy – two more trophies for the SSPP trophy case.

This marks the second consecutive year that SSPP JV Boys teams have won the Santa Hoops tournament. Many thanks go out to all the volunteers that made the tournament possible, especially Joe Rodia who coordinated the tournament for SSPP.
