On the Sunday afternoon of December 12, Chaminade High School hosted the third annual Christmas Challenge, sponsored by Oceanside Christopher, the Catholic Credit Union. The afternoon featured varsity basketball teams from Oceanside H.S. (Oceanside), St. Josephs by the Sea (Staten Island), Kellenberg H.S. (Uniondale), Fordam Prep (the Bronx), Chaminade H.S. (Mineola), St. Peters H.S (Staten Island), Holy Trinity H.S (Hicksville) and Xavarian H.S. (Brooklyn). President/CEO of the credit union, Joe Garay, said the goal of the challenge was to elevate the awareness of the great Catholic high schools we have in the area. Admission was free, but donations were accepted in the name of The Friends of Catholic Education, a fund established by Oceanside Christopher to support parish religious education programs on Long Island.

 

Saint Josephs by the Sea defeated Oceanside H.S., 58 to 56 with a basket in the closing seconds of overtime. Fordam Prep defeated Kellenberg 49 to 36. St. Peters defeated Chaminade 52 to 44.
