NEW CASTLE —
New Castle High boys basketball standout Brandon Domenick has made an early college commitment.
Domenick, a 5-foot-9 senior point guard, will continue his academic and athletic career at Gannon University in Erie. The Golden Knights are a member of the NCAA Division II Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
Domenick averaged 8.1 points a game last year for the Red Hurricane, while draining 56 3-pointers. He helped New Castle to a 27-1 mark and the WPIAL Class AAA championship as well.
As a sophomore, Domenick directed the ’Canes to the WPIAL semifinals and a berth in the state playoffs. They finished 20-8 that year.
Domenick enters his senior season with 65 career starts under his belt. That stretch included 28 starts each of the past two seasons.
Domenick has averaged 9.1 points, scoring 559 markers, while handing out six assists a game during his career.
