NEW HAVEN — Contavio Dutreil said it was the first time he had ever done it in a game.

Block a shot? Dutreil has done that hundreds of times to his opposition in the FCIAC. No, the Trinity Catholic forward waved his finger after blocking a Career shot against the backboard. He waved his finger all the way down the court.

Think of former NBA center Dikembe Mutombo.

Dutreil’s block came a handful of seconds before having to make two clutch free throws in the final seconds of Friday’s game at Career High. The Crusaders still had to sweat out a long three-point attempt to escape with a 64-61 win.

“I knew he would drive the baseline. I had to help my teammate, I came to block the shot and that’s what I did,” said Dutreil, who finished with a team-high 25 points for Trinity.

The entire fourth quarter was close, with Trinity Catholic having as much as a seven-point lead just once.

Two free throws from Rasheed Constant gave the Crusaders (14-4) a 61-58 lead with 30.2 seconds left. Career went for the driving layup and Dutreil came up with the block.

“At crunch time, that was a very big block,” Trinity Catholic coach Mike Walsh said. “He averages almost four blocks a game, just a blocking machine.”

Dimitry Moise (17 points) then made a free throw to put the Crusaders up 62-58. Kyle Daniels (team-high 25 points) answered with a 3-pointer with under 10 seconds left to pull the Panthers (12-8) within one.

After Dutreil was fouled and made his two free throws, Trinity Catholic called for timeout.

“I was arguing with my coaches, ‘I have to foul in that situation!’ I got out-voted three to one,” Walsh said. “Under 5 seconds I foul. They talked me out of it.”

Tamar Williams got the open look just over midcourt for Career. The shot bounced off the front rim.

“This is what I tell the kids, ‘It’s the little things that win the game, never the big things.’ End of conversation,” Career coach Larry Kelley said. “The dropped ball nobody gets (off a missed free throw by Trinity), one, two dribbles. Then you see open guys (off a steal) and you throw it too far. Those things kill you.”

This was the fourth time the two schools have squared off this decade, but the first during the regular season. Trinity Catholic is 2-1 in CIAC state tournament play, including the 2011 Class M state final.

Walsh called Kelley because both needed a game. It was originally scheduled for Dec. 30 at Wilbur Cross, but inclement weather pushed it back to Friday.

“That was a great game for both Career and for us to get ready for our conference tournaments,” Walsh said. “That’s why I’m glad we came up to play.”

Said Kelley: “We played against some though teams in (CIAC) Division 1 (including Trinity Catholic). Those are the better teams around.”

Career led the entire second quarter, but was held to just six points in the third. Moise’s 3-pointer put Trinity ahead 41-40 with 3:33 left in the period.
