Loughlin falls to second place after loss to Christ the King
The Bishop Loughlin Lions came up short against Christ the King in a battle for first place in the Catholic High School Athletic League Brooklyn/Queens division as they lost 69-56 in Queens on Wednesday night.
The Lions trailed by nine points at halftime, but the team — known for its second-half play — never turned it on late. With the loss, Loughlin (8-2) fell to second place in the CHSAA, and Christ the King (9-1) took the top spot.
“We didn’t play hard enough,” said Loughlin senior Kiana Clark. “We gave up once we saw that they got the lead, and that was that. I guess because we beat them the first time we felt like we had it, but we can’t play like that.”
