On the evening of June 15th, St. Croix's Hovensa company honored
St.Joseph High School graduates, Zipporah Inniss and Karen Carty at a
fancy affair held in the company's recreation hall. Inniss and Carty
were with the other valedictorians and salutatorians from the private

Avis article, Tim Hay writes "Alex Moorhead, vice president of
Hovensa said the community hears too many negative things about young
people. 'Hovensa wanted to do something,' he said, 'to recognize
scholastic achievement and stellar performance in academics'...'I am
exceedingly proud' Sr. Claina Letang, principal of St. Joseph's said,
'They excel in all areas.'"

ST. JOSEPH SAINTS' TEAM WINS THE ST. CROIX IAA VARSITY
BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP!
On Saturday, March 18, 2000, the St. Joseph Saints won over the Good
Hope Falcons with a score of 83-64 at the championship game held at
Central High. This was the first time that a private school on St.
Croix won the St. Croix IAA Varsity Basketball title. According to
Jeremy Ekberg of the St.Croix Avis, "Highlights included a pair of
turnaround dunks by Cuthbert Victor, who also came through for the
Saints with 2 big blocks in the game to force turnovers". In the VI
Daily News, Isaac Causey wrote, "Victor, a member of the VI National
Team, had a quiet offensive night but dominated on defense. The 6
-foot-4 senior had 12 blocked shots and grabbed 13 rebounds, even
though he had only 11 points, one of the lowest scoring outputs of
the season." In the next paragraph Isaac Causey wrote, "After playing
the entire first half, Victor sat out most of the third quarter.
Chris Isodore led St. Joseph's with 19 points, and Akeem Francis
added 17. Point guard James Joseph, normally the assist man, pumped
in 13 points." In the previous weeks both Cuthbert Victor and
Chris Isodore have been named Athletes of the Week by the VI Daily
News. Cuthbert Victor has been described as a rising Tim Duncan in
the Saints team which is coached by Cuthbert George, Tim Duncan's
high school coach on St. Croix.
