As he was walking off the court after fouling out with 55.4 seconds left in the fourth quarter and his team trailing by one point, Christ the King sophomore sensation Omar Calhoun turned to Corey Edwards and delivered a message.

“He said I’ve got to take over the game,” Edwards said.

The junior point guard did just that, putting his team up for good with a baseline floater and sealing a second consecutive Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan title with two free throws with 2.6 seconds left as Christ the King defeated Bishop Loughlin, 66-61, at Holy Cross HS in Queens Saturday night.

CK (21-5), the No. 2 team in The Post’s New York City rankings, earns the top Brooklyn/Queens seed in the upcoming CHSAA Class AA intersectional playoffs. Top-ranked Loughlin (21-5) will play either St. Francis Prep or All Hallows in the quarterfinals.

CHSAA Player of the Year Jayvaughn Pinkston had 14 points and 10 rebounds, but seemed to be affected by the Royals physicality, especially when he drove to the basket.

“We just didn’t execute at the end of the game,” the Villanova-bound senior forward said. “There were some plays where we were getting fouled and there weren’t any calls. We can’t leave it up to the refs.”

Pinkston had a chance to put his team back in front, but his layup attempt with 9.1 seconds left went off the front rim. Christ the King’s Maurice Barrow grabbed the reboun

CK Men's Varsity B CITY CHAMPIONS!
   [02/20/2010 - 09:38 AM]

Click to read full article

On Thursday, the Royals of Christ the King took on Bishop Loughlin for the Varsity B City Championship.

Loughlin started the game with a quick 10 - 2 run that could have easily sent CK home early. After a time-out by Coach Herring, the Royals slowed the tempo of the game, chipping a way little by little, until they eventually took the lead. The back and forth action of the first half ended with a 36 - 27 CK halftime lead.

CK maintained control of the game throughout the third, leading 58 - 48 at the end of the quarter. In the fourth, the Royals turned up the defensive intensity by putting on a full court press that Bishop Loughlin had no answer for. In the end, the Royals won their first championship on the Varsity B level with a 76 - 62 victory over rival Bishop Loughlin.

Leading the way for the Royals was game MVP Ian Duff with 22 points. Senior David Ortiz had 14 points, while Juniors Creshawn Jude and Malcolm Bettis combined for 25 points.

Some highlights from the Royals season include going undefeated in league play. Also, the Royals won the annual Varsity B tournament at Holy Cross, and were a perfect 3 - 0 vs. Bishop Loughlin.

Congratulations to seniors Vito Gerardi, Cameron Blain, Ian Du

A Great Season Comes to an End
   [03/07/2010 - 09:27 PM]

 The CK Royal's Mens JV team finished their season with a two point defeat at the hands of Xaverian High School in the city championship game. The loss, though, can not take away from the great season that CK had.

The JV squad returned an experienced group of player's from last year's successful freshmen team. Those players include Eric Moore, Yanni Chatham, Marthely Senat, Kalief Joyner, Eric Ishman, Chris "Speedy" Mormon, Chris Lypher, Hampton Young, Anthony Gozzi, and Jessie Higgins. Adding to the team were newcomers Evan Herzberg, Chris Quadrino, Jordan Fuchs, and Demetrius Daniels.

Together, the team was able to avenge some tough losses during their freshmen year with convincing victories over Archbishop Molloy, Bishop Loughlin, Rice, Holy Cross, and Xaverian High School. CK finished the season with an overall record of 21 - 3. That record includes going undefeated in non-league play, finishing in 1st place in their division, and earning the top seed in the city-wide playoffs.

The Royals outscored their opponents by an average of nearly 11 points per game. And although there were some close games, heroic shots at the buzzer by Demetrius Daniels, aggressive scoring at the basket by Marthely Senat, Jordan Fuchs, and Kalief Joyner, and the guard play of Jessie Higgins, Eric Moore, and Yanni Chatham almost always enabled CK to walk off the court with a victory.

CK Freshmen Are Undefeated City Champions
   [03/06/2010 - 11:40 PM]

Click to read full article

On Saturday night, the Christ the King Freshmen Royals finished an undefeated City Championship season with a 65 - 52 victory over Archbishop Molloy HS. In front of a packed Holy Cross gymnasium, the Royals used a huge 4th quarter scoring run to close out the game with a win.

Early on, it appeared as though the game would go down to the wire. With both teams trading baskets, and James Coleman and Kentrall Brooks both sitting with early foul trouble, CK would call upon Isaiah Lewis and reserve Brandon King to pick up the slack on offense. Lewis scored 8 of his game high 23 points in the quarter, while King would provide a spark off the bench and chip in with 4 points. Maynard Grant would also step up and play big minutes on the defensive end.

During the second quarter, King and Lewis would again provide all of the Royals offense, accounting for 9 out of the teams 11 points. Molloy outscored the Royals in the second quarter 15 - 11, sending the CK into their locker down by 1. This was the first half time deficit Christ the King faced all year. Isaiah Tucker and Marco Kozul kept the Stanners in the game, taking advantage of the early foul trouble being suffered by CK.

As the third quarter began, Jonathon Severe and James Coleman would awaken and have a huge impact for the Royals. The two combined f

CHSAA girls' hoops playoff round-up: CK wins JV title

By Marc Raimondi

 

The Christ the King junior varsity girls’ basketball team lost four games by a combined eight points this season and won nine games by five points or less. No better example was the Royals’ CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan championship victory against Bishop Ford on Saturday when freshman Rayne Connell drilled a jumper at the buzzer.

So, it was fitting that the Royals, once again, were in a dogfight in the CHSAA JV championship game. CK pulled out a 39-35 win against hosting St. John Villa to win the city title Tuesday night on Staten Island. It was the Royals’ first CHSAA city championship since 2004.

“This team really found a way to battle,” Christ the King’s first-year coach Dom Cecala said. “If it wasn’t something, it was something else.”

Freshman guard Lauren Nuss had 15 points, Quincy Martin-Chapman had 11 points and Jackie Mullen added nine for Christ the King (19-4). Nuss and Mullen each had six points apiece in the fourth quarter, combining for all of their team’s points in the final frame.

Nuss and Mullen each hit clutch 3-pointers to give CK the lead against Ford at St. Francis Prep HS on Saturday in the B/Q championship game. The Royals never folded under pressure all season.

“If you’re the hardest wor
