The Crusaders finished at 2-2 this weekend at the Midwest Live Showcase at Cedar Point. There was a lot of talented players and teams playing under 1 roof. Kudos to the OHSBCA for running a great event. Looking forward to an invite next year.

Crusaders played all weekend at Pitt Team Camp for the 10th straight summer. Coach Brian Regan runs the best team camp every year. We played against great competition and our JV and Varsity teams got better each day. Hail 2 Pitt! Go Cru!

Congratulations to our girls softball team and Coach Bartalone on finishing as District Runner-up in DVI NE District. Only having 1 senior this speaks volume about their development throughout the year. LET'S GO CRU!

Winning a District Championship for the third year in a row takes a lot of hard work and commitment with everyone working together for a common goal. Our coaches are all in for our players and community. Love these guys. #1 Team, Family, Mission!

Regos Sporting Goods had our 3Peat tshirts on the floor after the game for the 6th District Title in the last 12 years. A big shout out for always making the Crusaders look great. #1 Team, Family, Mission!

This afternoon the Canton Central Catholic Crusaders won the District Title for the 3rd year in a row quite an achievement! We played like "Warrior Poets" beating Trinity 64-32. That's called a 3Peat.

Izzo said he received a text from Steve Alford this weekend saying “You’ve got the best culture in college basketball by a lot. Whenever you get frustrated, appreciate what you got, because nobody has it.” This video sums it up. 🎥 @TheSpartanMag

Today your sons of Central Catholic beat undefeated and state ranked Margaretta, CCHS 73 Margaretta 44. Easton Miller career high of 24 points including 4 3's. Luke Vlacovsky totaled 19 points and 4 3's. Total team effort. #1 Team, Family, Mission! Great teammates win.

When teammates care more about each other, than themselves, you have the best ingredient for a winning culture. Great teammates win. #1 Team, Family, Mission!

Luke Vlacovsky scored 23 points and surpassed the 1000 point barrier to become the 5th leading scorer in Canton Central Catholic history, in an 80 -48 win over Waynedale. Its a privilege to coach such a committed player and great teammate. More to come!

A big shout out to alum Tim Murphy class of 1994 for his generous donation and willingness to give back to this generation of Crusader basketball players. The purchase of new uniforms was made possible through Tim's gift. Crusader nation says thank you.

This season the Central Catholic Crusaders will be wearing new uniforms white, green and alternative black. Thanks to Regos Sporting Goods and Under Armour in helping us look our best.

Great weekend at PITT Team Camp. The Crusaders finished at 3-3 against some big time competition. I know my seniors are sad that was their last Pitt Team Camp. Coach Brian Reagan is a big reason that camp is so fantastic. H2P!

The Crusaders girls' softball team are District Champs after beating Jackson-Milton 19-9. Congrats to Coach Bartelone and these freshmen girls on a great win. On to the Sweet 16.
