St. Joseph is coached by the ageless Vito Montelli, the winningest high school basketball in New England history who is in his 50th season and has won more than 870 games in his career.
Last season, Montelli, the only coach St. Joseph has ever had, won his 10th state championship, setting an all-time Connecticut record, and the Cadets look like that could another title to the school's resume.
