Brooklyn rivals, Lincoln High School and Boys and Girls High School, met in the PSAL Basketball Championship for the second straight year; everything seemed to be the same as the year before as Boys and Girls fell apart in the 88-57 loss. Playing in front a crowd about 14,000, filled with high school students and a few college scouts at Madison Square Garden, the young players were able to display their loyalty to the school and love for the game!
The Railsplitter's jumped out to an early 23-9 first quarter lead (42-21 at the break). Stepheson's overall game could be summarized as hard work; the star junior guard finished the game with 29 points and 11 rebounds and shot almost 75% from the field! Everyone on Lincoln contributed in a way to give their team another championship. Clayton Sterling led the Kangaroos with 14 points in the loss.Just like past years, fights broke out between the two schools in the stands towards the end of the game; the game had to be stopped for about 15 minutes due to this.
My Opinion: Once being a high school athlete, its great to have an opportunity to play in a championship game especially if it's played at Madison Square Garden. Both teams played well and Boys and Girls High School should keep their heads up from the way they played against one of the best teams on the East Coast; especially against the best high school player in the nation.
