After falling short in last year's state semi-final, the Crusaders got redemption and won their 5th girls' basketball state championship in school history.HERSHEY, Pa. — The Lancaster Catholic Crusaders won the 2024 PIAA 3A girls basketball championship with a 56-39 victory over Westmont Hilltop at Giant Center in Hershey on Thursday evening.
" very motivating, just keeping your head down and going back to work," said senior Lancaster Catholic Crusaders guard Mary Bolesky, who matched Kraft's game-high 22 points."We had a full year to dwell on it and realize what we could do better and we were able to execute. So, that is a special feeling to work hard and get the goal you wanted."
Despite the challenging first half that finished 29-23 in favor of the Crusaders, Lancaster Catholic was still confident they would get it done. " was very key, to keep the score where we wanted it to," said Bolesky."Just with our energy and defense, we can always dig ourselves out of a hole. We're able to stand on that, and that's what got it done."
