Holy Cross and Bishop Loughlin each
posted convincing wins in opening round Brooklyn-Queens Diocesan playoff games
at Molloy last night. Loughlin will take
on second seeded Molloy while Holy Cross takes on top seeded Christ the King in
semi final action Wednesday at Christ the King.
Here are recaps of the games.
Bishop Loughlin 64 St. Francis Prep
48 With long time assistant Frank Fontanetta subbing as coach for Tim
Leary, who was attending to a family matter, the Terriers did a terrific job
hanging with Loughlin for a half. Speedy
junior guard Michael Fields led the Prep with 20 points as their patience and
three point shooting kept them close. Michael
Williams, who finished with a game high 26 for Loughlin kept his team ahead
slightly until his teammates picked things up in the second half. Kadeem
Carrington added 15 points with St. John's assistant Tony Childs in the
audience, while improving 6'8" junior Anthony Vernon was a factor on the
boards as well
Holy
Cross 60 Xaverian 40
Xaverian had a three point advantage at halftime but even as they took a lead
there were ominous signs for the Clippers. Holy Cross' dominance on the boards
eventually caught up with Xaverian as Ryan Wilson and Josh Wallace controlled
the paint for the Clippers. Wallace finished with 14 points while Woods added a
game high 18 for the Knights. Lamel Faison finished with 16 for the Clippers in
a losing cause.
