Improved Robeson high school upsets Westinghouse
For the last few years, the Robeson High School Eagles have kind of been the doormat of the Public School Athletic League’s Brooklyn AA Division. They hadn’t had a winning record since 2010-11 and it was looking like it would be more of the same this season after being blown out by teams by 20 or 30 points earlier in the year.
These days, things aren’t looking so bleak for the Crown Heights school. They nearly upset Jefferson on the 23rd and then came back to beat Westinghouse 62-60 at home last Friday. It was easily their biggest win of the year and a sign that they are much improved.
“This is a team that is starting to gel together and is starting to believe in the concepts that the coaches are teaching them,” Robeson coach Bishop Green said. “I’m proud of these kids, they’re starting to step up. They are starting to believe in each other now. Before it was different individuals, but they are starting to put it together.”
