Xaverian falls to Christ the King in Brooklyn-Queens championship
Xaverian High School lost 66-59 to Christ the King High School during the Catholic High School Athletic Association Brooklyn-Queens Diocesan tournament in Queens on Feb. 27.
“This is a very tough loss, very tough,” said Xaverian senior Najee Larcher. “We came into this game knowing that we could win, but by the end, we just stopped playing hard.”
Xaverian trailed for most of the game, but it was close the entire time. Christ the King had a 39-32 lead at halftime, but the Xaverian Clippers battled back in the third quarter and eventually tied it at 44-44.
