Catherine plays defense
Congratulations to Catherine and Weaver on a nice run in the state tournament. The team lost to Cromwell in the semis, but won the game pictured here at Nonnewaug in overtime. Catherine missed a bunch of games midseason because of a back injury, but once she came back was one of the driving forces on the team’s tournament run.
