Third time’s a charm for Collegiate against Westinghouse in borough playoffs
The Westinghouse Warriors beat the Brooklyn Collegiate Lions both times during the regular season, but by the third game the Lions finally figured out how to beat them. BC won 67-58 in the first round of the Public School Athletic League’s Brooklyn Borough Playoffs in Downtown Brooklyn on Tuesday.
“It feels very good,” Collegiate’s Craig McKenzie said. “We needed revenge. We felt like we should have beaten them both times, but we didn’t play well. It’s a different game in the playoffs. It’s go hard or go home so we knew that we had to pick our game up. We needed this win.”
The biggest difference for the Lions was that this was the first time they got to face the Warriors with more than eight players. Head coach Jacob Edwards explained that it allowed them to do things differently on the court.
