Congrats to UChoose Student-Athlete of the Week:
Christian Thomas, Northwest Catholic boys basketball

Christian Thomas, a senior guard and captain of Northwest Catholic-West Hartford’s boys basketball team, is our fifth UChoose Student-Athlete of the Week of the winter and 16th of the 2014-15 school year!
Christian scored a career-high 38 points in Northwest’s 71-64 victory over Simsbury Jan. 14, a game that drew nationwide attention for the buzzer-beater by Simsbury’s Luke Gorkofsky to force overtime. Northwest is 5-4, 4-2 in the CCC West.
Congrats to Christian, who joins Greenwich boys basketball player Conor Harkins, Holy Cross-Waterbury girls basketball player RaShana Siders, Fairfield co-op boys hockey player Jake Fuss and Northwest Catholic boys hockey player Anthony Ceolin as our winter Student-Athletes of the week.
