The team wishes to thank the St. Theresa Parish and School community for their great support last weekend at the Diocesan championship tournament. We’re proud to represent St. Theresa as we roll off to states! The Saint Theresa varsity boys’ basketball team competed in the 65th Annual Harrisburg Diocese Championship this past Sunday. Saint Theresa’s of New Cumberland beat Saint Leo the Great of Lancaster with a 45 -31 win to capture the championship banner. It’s the 6th Harrisburg Diocesan Championship in the last 64 years for our boys program. With the win, the boys’ team qualified for The Final 8 in the State and will travel to Seton Hill University in Greensburg, PA next Thursday March 16, 2017, to compete for the state championship. A title at the state tournament would be the first ever in the history of St Theresa’s boys’ basketball program.
