Mount St. Mary Academy has a successful year in sports

Mount St. Mary Academy’s Girls Basketball Team Clinches State Championship

Mount St. Mary Academy’s girls basketball team achieved a remarkable feat by winning the state championship, a victory that was particularly sweet after a heartbreaking loss in the same game the previous year. Coach Kevin Peterson, who couldn’t contain his smile, watched his players celebrate their hard-earned victory on the Hofstra court.

The Thunder’s triumph over Bronx’s Cardinal Spellman was a redemption story for the team and their coach. Peterson, who had experienced the agony of defeat as an assistant coach the year before, was determined to lead his team to success. His promotion to head coach marked a new chapter for the small school’s basketball program, and he was committed to providing stability and support for his players.

The state championship win was a culmination of hard work and determination for the Mount St. Mary’s team, led by seniors Amanda Saber and Siobhan Murphy. Saber, who overcame an ACL injury, was named the Monsignor Martin’s Division B All-Catholic Player of the Year and played a pivotal role in the team’s success.

For Saber and her teammates, the victory was a moment of pure joy and celebration. The title of state champion will forever be a part of their legacy, but what truly matters to them is the sense of community and support they have found at Mount St. Mary Academy. As they bask in the glory of their achievement, the team reflects on the close-knit community that has shaped their high school experience and made them proud to be Mounties.
