The St. Thomas Aquinas girls’ and boys’ basketball teams swept the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament titles this year, becoming the first school ever to sweep in back-to-back tournaments. (A full GMC Tournament was not played in 2021 due to the pandemic, with eight champions crowned out of four-team pods.)
