Holy Trinity girls basketball teams have been lights out this season in the AA Brant Haldimand Norfolk league.

“I’ve been coaching both junior and senior girls (basketball) for about seven-eight years, ever since I’ve been at HT,” Holy Trinity coach Nick Flynn after a 64-12 junior win against Simcoe Composite School and 41-19 senior win. “We’ve had some pretty good teams… and there’s been some continuity, people know what to expect when they come through.

Both Titans basketball teams finished their 2024 AABHN regular seasons undefeated.

“We’ve got a really good group of girls that we’ve tried to develop from Grade 9-10 all the way through to 11-12,” said Flynn. “It’s kind of what we’re seeing with this group – it’s kind of our second generation. We just have an awesome group of girls. They work well together, they practice hard. Just really quality student athletes, and that’s something we take a lot of pride in – how they respond to adversity, how hard they work - and they’re all awesome students in the classroom as well, which is important. That’s kind of the culture that we try to build here.”

Seven of the senior girls returned from last year’s team that went to OFSAA AA. They have reached two straight CWOSSA finals.

“Last year, OFSAA was a great experience for us, but the talent level is pretty awesome.

“This year we’ve got the Grade 10s that won AABHN last year. It’s really an exciting time for the HT basketball programs to have a really strong nucleus.”

The AABHN senior girls basketball final, Delhi at Holy Trinity, is scheduled for Nov. 7, 3 p.m. Waterford will meet Holy Trinity at 1:30 p.m. in the junior girls AABHN final, also at Holy Trinity.
