Grade 10 player Trent Groulx is already a key member of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish senior boys basketball team.

On Friday, Groulx was second on his team in scoring with nine points to help the Irish record a 59-51 victory over the Denis Morris Reds in the Niagara Catholic Athletic Association (Zone 2) AAA championship game.

“Trent is in Grade 10 and he is a really good player. We have some time with him and he is an eager kid. He wants to get better and he wants to be a leader,” Notre Dame coach Cedric Kasongo said. “He shoots the ball with confidence and right now we are just trying to get him to continue to take on a leadership role and be more of a point guard. Right now, he is more is more of a shooting guard.”

The 15-year-old is enjoying being on the senior team.

“It feels great. There’s a bunch of great guys on the team and I love my team. And I have a really supportive coach.”

Kasongo has been a big part of Groulx’s development as a player and a leader.
