The gap is closing. Stepinac found a way to make timely overtime plays under extreme duress and survived Iona Prep, registering a win Saturday, Jan. 4 in the Seventh annual Crusader Classic at the Westchester County Center. It was a game worth the price of admission with atmosphere provided by a crowd that neared capacity. There were three ties and three lead changes in the fourth quarter. “Of all the games I’ve played against them, this was the best one yet,” Stepinac junior Jasiah Jervis said. “They definitely came out hard, but we finished even harder.” 🔗 : Read more coverage from the Slam Dunk Showcase and Crusader Classic, as well as see more photos, at our link in bio. 📸: Frank Becerra Jr. frankbjrphoto ✍: Michael Dougherty lohudlacrosse #lohud #lohudsports #basketball #highschoolbasketball #crusaderclassic ionaprepbasketball stepinacsports stepinacjungle #ASHSJungle
