Trinity Basketball Wins CIF Championship, Classy Hollywood Ending

The Trinity Classical Academy boys basketball team won the CIF Southern Section Division 6 championship, 77-52, over Desert Chapel.

Sophomore Ian Caddow scored a game-high 37 points, but it was freshman Beau Howell who was the star of the game.

Howell has autism. He entered the game in the final minute and scored the first basket of his career. The Desert Chapel players gave him every opportunity to score his first basket and ended the game with the finest act of sportsmanship.

The basket by Howell was the final two points of the game for Trinity. The Trinity boys won the first boys basketball CIF championship by a Santa Clarita school in 27 years. The last team to win a CIF championship in boys basketball was Saugus in 1987.

About Connie Jones

Connie and her husband, John, moved to the Santa Clarita Valley almost 30 years ago. Living in Santa Clarita for that long is the direct opposite of Connie’s childhood. She was an Army ‘brat’ who moved every two to three years. Consequently, she has lived in many states and even spent three years in Europe. All three of her kids went to Santa Clarita schools. Connie says the best thing about her job at KHTS is that she is never bored. “If I’m not smiling, Carl is sure to ask why, just before giving me a mind-boggling project.” “KHTS AM-1220 is an integral part of our community and I’m glad to be a part of it. Besides, the DJs will take my request to play Shania Twain’s ‘Still the One’ for my wedding anniversary – gotta love that!”
