Saint Storylines
* Under Arrigale, the Saints have emerged as one of the nation's most consistent winners. Over the past five years, Neumann-Goretti is 136-19 (.877) with four state titles and two national Top 25 finishes.
* Green averaged over 17 points per game last season, earning a spot on the MaxPreps Sophomore All-American Team. He's one of the most highly-recruited junior guards in America with offers from Maryland and Michigan State already.
* You can bet the Saints are circling the date Jan. 6. That's when they get a crack at Roman Catholic, who knocked them off in the regular season and the Philadelphia Catholic League tournament final last season.
