Xaverian loses in city final to three-time champion Christ the King
Xaverian High School lost to Christ the King 59-56 in the Catholic High School Athletic Association’s AA city championship at Fordham University on Sunday. Christ the King, which beat Xaverian in the Brooklyn-Queens final two weeks ago, has now won the last three CHSAA city titles.
“We came into this game thinking about revenge because we thought that we could beat them,” said Xaverian forward Najee Larcher. “They’re not that much better than us, but they proved to be the better team today because they played harder.
“This is really tough for us,” Larcher continued. “Our entire team is basically seniors, so this is really hard to lose like this in our final game.”
