The Northwest Catholic girls program has historically been quite good, with some state championships and many players going on to play in college. I am an alum of Northwest and was disappointed to see how poorly they fared last year, and many of those losses were by huge margins.
Not sure why the precipitous dropoff, as other girls programs at Northwest seem to be continuing to do well. Switching conferences and going to the CCC a few years ago may have hurt some, since they are going up against larger schools now, but that would not explain 0-20. Tuition keeps going up, though, and maybe they are losing some players to the Hartford magnet schools or other high schools. Hall High of West Hartford made it to the state finals this year, so there is talent in the area. This change in coaching and Rebecca`s involvement will hopefully help restore the tradition.
Rebecca can compare notes with fellow ESPNers Mike Golic and Mike Golic Jr., since Mike Jr. went to Northwest with his brother Jake. Mike`s daughter also went there.
(is it even needed?)
