Freshmen regular season round-up
2/18/14 - 06:43 AM
Forward Kclejuan Brown (24) is averaging a team leading 2.1 blocks per game to go along with 12 points per game for the freshmen
The CK freshmen have had a very successfull regular season. A season that has seen them go 16-1 in league play, win all five of their non-league games, and outscore their opponent by an average of 20.5 point per game.
The one loss on CK's record, a tough mid-season match-up with Iona Prep, does not speak to the success the Royals have had against just about every team they have played.
CK has averaged over 65 points per game, while giving up only 45. The Royals have gone unbeaten on the road. They received the #1 overall seed in the upcoming freshmen intersectional playoffs. When CK has played an opponent for a second time, their average margin of victory was greater in the second game.
CK also has players that have made significant strides as individuals.
Kclejuan Brown, CK's second leading scorer at just over 12 points per game, has become the best and most consistent shot-blocker on the freshmen level. His 2.1 blocks per game are the most for any CK freshmen in over 3 years. He produced four double-doubles, headlined by a 17 point, 10 rebound performance against Queens rival Archbishop Molloy at the Stanners' gym back in early January. Browns consistency on defense and improved offensive game have helped the Royals become a very difficult team to guard.
Point guard Jose Alvarado has become CK's leader on and off the court. His 19 point per game average doesn't indicate his overall value to the team. Alvarado's has become a more vocal leader for the team, and his ability to control the game from the point guard position has allowed the other players around him to be more productive during their time on the court. Alvarado's teammates feed off of his defensive intensity, making the Royals a complete team in his prescence.
Pierce Bozcar and Cai-el Smith have both had very productive seasons for CK. Bozccar's 10.5 point per game average is good enough for third on the scoring list among freshmen. Both he and Smith have been consistent threats from beyond the three point line. The two are shooting 36% from beyond the arc, and have combined to make a total of 57 three point shots on the season. Boczar's breakout game came early in the season against All Hallows, where he hit 6 three pointers on his way to a season-high 24 points. Smith, who has scored in double figures on a couple of occassions, had an impressive game when CK traveled to Staten Island to take on island power St. Peters. Cai-el's two free throws with under 18 seconds to play would help secure an important non-league win for the Royals. Smith finished the game with 6 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 assists, show his ability to impact the game in more ways than one.
Center Anthony Lang has also shown great improvement throughout the season. Though he is averaging just 6 points per game, his 8.5 rebounds per game are tops for CK. His free throw shooting percentage and attempts are second among CK starters, and he has also produced 3 double-doubles, good enough for 2nd on the team. Lang had 18 points and 11 rebounds against New Jersey power St. Anthony's. Lang's ability to pass out of the post, and lead CK's wings to open baskets in transition have made him an invaluable member of the Royals.
CK's bench has been extremely productive. The reserves are averaging a combined 16 points per game off the bench, led by reserve Hegel Augustin's 5 points per contest. Guards LaQuan Robinson, Theo Snoddy, and Kendale Greenidge have all shown improvement throughout the season. All three have different skills that allow them to step on the court and offer CK different options while maintaining a high level of play. Aaron Patterson has become a very solid back-up center, providing CK with rebounding and defensive intensity every time he steps on the court.
Anthony Young and Erich Naumann have stepped their games up as well. Naumann has become a reliable threat from beyond the arc, leading CK in 3 point shooting percentage at 37.5. Naumann has also proven to be a good rebounder for size, constantly out-rebounding bigger opponents. Young's progression has been noticeable as well. He has added strength and quickness at both the guard and forward spot. Young's versatility will make him an important piece to the puzzle as CK begins their playoff run this coming week.
Sean Nolan, CK's most popular player, has become a vocal leader for the Royals. Nolan's improvement, though, goes beyond being a leader off the court. Nolan has improved his shooting, has become a better ball-handler, and has consitently given CK a quality option off the bench during his time on the cocurt.
Freshmen knock off Loughlin, claim #1 seed in freshmen city-wide playoffs
2/10/14 - 10:05 AM
Starting Center Anthony Lang (25) finished with 13 points, 13 rebounds, and 2 assists against rival Bishop Loughlin on Sunday at CK
Sunday was considered "rivalry day" by many, with Christ the King taking on Bishop Loughlin in five basketball games, all played on the campus of Christ the King. The girls JV would start the day off with a morning contest. CK would win that game easily by double-digits, setting the tone for the rest of the day. The freshmen contest, tipping off at noon, was anticipated to be a match-up between the two top freshmen teams.

CK started the game off hot. Starting forward Kclejuan Brown scored 8 of his 11 points in the quarter, as point guard Jose Alvarado found Brown for easy baskets inside. The royals were able to extend Loughlin's zone defense with some good outside shooting from Alvarado and guard Pierce Boczar, who both hit 3-pointers in the opening quarter. After one quarter, CK was firmly in control with a 20-8 lead.
The second quarter was more of the same, as Alvarado was masterful in the open court. He would score 10 of his game-high 27 points in the quarter, and CK would take a 34-20 lead into the locker room at half-time.
Loughlin made a push late in the third quarter and early in the fourth to cut the lead down to nine points. The Royals seemed to be complacent, and didn't show a sense of urgency to the lead was below 10. After a time-out with about 5 minutes left to play, CK settled down and again began to take control of the game.
Loughlin's attempt to press CK was unsuccessful, as the Royals were able to break the press and take time off the clock before getting off a good shot. Cai-el Smith was a key contributer during the Royals stretch run. After struggling offensively in the first half, Smith scored 7 points in the second half, and made critical plays in the open-court that allowed CK to control tempo.
With Loughlin being forced to foul to stop the clock, CK would get a solid contribution from center Anthony Lang. The center was fould on four sepearate occassions down the strectch, and converted on all 7 free throw attempts. His 11 points in the second half were enough to secure the win for CK. The final score was 65-50.
Game Notes:
Jose Alvarado led the team in scoring with 27, and added 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Anthony Lang finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds, and shot 7 for 7 from the foul line.
Kclejuan Brown scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

2/2/14 - 06:39 AM
PG Jose Alvarado scored a game-high 27 points against Brooklyn rival Bishop Loughlin this past week
On Friday, the Royals traveled to Fort Greene to take on the previously undefeated Lions of Bishop Loughlin. The game would be a battle for first place, as CK had only one, and Loughlin had yet to lose this season.
Loughlin and CK would trade baskets early and often. The uptempo style of play seemed to benefit both teams. Jose Alvarado and Pierce Boczar would keep CK close with an array of three point shots and face break lay-ups. After one quarter, CK would have a 20-19 lead.
The second quarter saw both teams pick up their defensive intensity However, Loughlin was cleaning up on the boards, as CK consistently gave up offensive rebounds and put backs. CK had a hard time getting into an offensive rhythm, bothered by Loughlins press, and as a result, went into the locker room down 33-31.
At the start of the third quarter, Kclejuan Brown and Anthony Lang took control of the backboards, as CK would use their size advantage to aggressively rebound and control the tempo of the game. Brown, who was saddled with foul trouble early in the game, would be come the defensive anchor for CK. He would have all six of his rebounds in the third, to go along with two blocked shots. As Brown would experience continuing foul trouble as the quarter went on, Hegel Augustin would play a pivotal role for the Royals off the bench.
Theo Snoddy, a reserve guard, also stepped his game up for CK. His two three-pointers in the third quarter were critical in putting CK ahead for good. After three quarters of play, CK was ahead 47-43.
Jose Alvarado would take control of the game in the 4th quarter. His efforts, along with Boczar and Cai-el Smith, saw the Royals slow the pace of the game down. CK protected there lead by methodically wearing down Loughlins zone defense, and scoring with less than 10 seconds to go on the shot clock.
Bishop Loughlin would attempt to make one last push to try to retake the lead, but with 1:30 to go, CK would go up by ten and never relinquish the lead. The final score was 60-55.
Game Notes:
CK had just five total rebounds at half-time, and finished the game with a total of 31.
CK improved its record to 18-1 (12-1). There 12-1 record in league play is good enough for a tie with Bishop Loughlin, who CK now holds the head-to-head tie breaker over.

The Freshmen Royals played host to Queens rival St. Francis Prep on Tuesday, and had to fight there way to a win.

Preps hot shooting quickly put CK at a 14-3 deficit 6 minutes into the game. It appeared as though the Royals were in for a long day.
Pierce Boczar, CK's leading 3 point shooter, would spark the Royals, with a three point shot to get CK back on track. CK's defense began to pick-up, allowing Boczar one last shot attempt to close the quarter; a 48 foot three-pointer that went through the net as the buzzer sounded to end the quarter. Prep's lead was now just 2 points, and the Royals would use the buzzer beater as a springboard into a second quarter surge.

The freshmen team went to St. Ray's on Saturday and stole a victory, by a score of 69-67. The game was close from the start, with CK down early on. The Royals got off to a slow-start, and the Ravens of St. Rays were red hot from the field.
