** COACHES AWARD: Maggie Long (Sophomore Guard/Forward)
Maggie, our team captain, was a powerful and effective leader in every way. In addition to demonstrating great determination in recovering from an early season injury and illness, she accepted the role of being the Titan’s POINT GUARD rather than playing her natural position as a SWING Player. She led the team in assists, outside shooting, and always was a significant contributor in scoring, rebounding, and defensively. Maggie is a multi-sport Titan athlete who recently was selected as one of the top 100 female lacrosse player on Long Island.
** MOST IMPROVED: Katrina Samuda (Sophomore Forward)
Katrina, despite having just begun playing basketball two years ago, Katrina has become a defensive and rebounding presence with her height, length, and quickness. She demonstrated her determination in the championship game of the Red Devil Tournament when she limited a multi-talented, high-scoring forward to only 2 points in the second half.
** ROOKIE: Kirina Azemar (Freshman Guard)
Kirina, an explosive offensive player, played a significant role in many of the team’s 14 win season. As she expands her repertoire of skills and defensive prowess, Kirina is destined to be an integral part of the ever improving TITAN Basketball program.
** BEST DEFENDER: Alex Fuhrer (Junior Guard)
Alex, the 2019 recipient of the team’s Most Improved Player award, expanded her credentials by accepting the challenge of defending the top scorer of most of our opponents, a role she successfully accepted. Her quickness and speed were exceeded only by her consistent focus and hard-work.

Coaches Award - Nick Margetson
One of the great pleasures of coaching at Holy Trinity is watching players grow from boys to young men in their four years. Nick Margetson is the epitome of that. He grew from a quiet freshman to a vocal leader his senior year. Nick was always a catalyst in practice on what was a talented but quiet team. During his junior season Nick was always ready when his number was called and came off the bench to provide a huge spark in multiple big victories on the way to a 2019 NSCHSA Championship. As a senior Nick rarely came off the court as he was a coach on the floor point guard. Nick was loved and respected by his teammates and coaches and it was an honor to coach him and watch him grow into the outstanding young man he is.

Jaiden Patterson has always been extremely dedicated and never hesitates to help her teammates or coaches when needed. During her time as a Titanette, we have watched her grow not only as a dancer, but as a caring and positive young lady. Her positive attitude and contributions to our team are why we would like to award her with the Coach’s Award.
Titan of the Year Award - Sophia Mazza

Her passion for dance and unwavering commitment to this team has inspired not only us as her coaches but her teammates she has had along the way. She will be greatly missed next year as a Titanette.
