Athletics

This past weekend our Wildcat wrestlers took the mats at the Tri-County Championships in Hollis, NH. It was a long, grueling day on the mats, and even after a few technical difficulties with the computer scoring systems, it turned out to be very successful tournament! Nashua Catholic is proud to announce that JJ Crayton placed 4th, Chris Kenosian placed 3rd, Charlie Bellavance earned a 2nd place finish, and Liam Finn, Anthony Fernandez, and Zach Dion all were crowned champions! Congratulations to the wrestlers and the coaches for another great day on the mats!
This time of the year is also a busy one for our basketball and cheerleading teams as they enter into tournament and competition season. Cheerleaders get on the mat for their Tri-County Competition on Saturday, February 10 at Nashua High South. The varsity basketball teams are entering into the playoffs with a head of steam, as the boys clinched the #3 seed, and the girls earned the #2 seed in the tournament! Our Lady Wildcats are fresh off a Nashua City Championship, and looking to continue their winning ways in route of another Tri-County Championship trophy!
Go Wildcats!
