Senior Chad Hazelwood has been playing varsity basketball for Holy Cross since he was a freshman. His coach, Mike Durham, says he is the consummate role player. "Last year he always looked to pass first, did the rebounding, he did everything we asked of him," says Durham. "This year, we lost three seniors and Chad has stepped up to score more for us. He accepts any role we give him."
In the 6th Region All "A" tournament game on January 21, Chad's role was rebounding. The 47-45 win was Holy Cross's first win over DeSales in its 12-year history.
