The second-seeded St. Thomas Aquinas Saints were crowned 2024 NHIAA Division III Boys Basketball State Champions on Saturday night with a 38-34 victory over No. 1 Conant at Keene State College.
The Saints earn the third title in school history and first since they won back-to-back crowns in 1991 & 1992.
Freshman Cole McClure led all scorers with 20 points, while Will Mollica added 8 points and 10 rebounds for St. Thomas. The Orioles were led by 10 points from Jordan Nagle.
Baskets were at a premium as both teams defended extremely well. St. Thomas held Conant to just one point in the third quarter and 15 total through three quarters of play. The Orioles poured in 19 points in the 4th, but it was too little, too late.
Watch as St. Thomas takes home the crown…
