Stepinac fell 78-56 to Bishop Loughin in tonight’s CHSAA semifinals in a game that wasn’t very close from the outset. As Dan has already chronicled, the Crusaders started 6 for 32 from the field and 2 for 16 from 3-point land. Very quickly, it was evident their season would soon be over.
Dan has covered the written version, so I’ll bring you a couple other items from our coverage.
First, here’s Seth Harrison’s slideshow from the game:
And here’s my video of senior Josh James, who, on the night he received his plaque for first-team all-CHSAA honors, finished his career with one of his best games. The Greenburgh native had 34 points and eight rebounds, salvaging something for Stepinac on a night where he didn’t have much help.
Here are James’ thoughts on the game and his team’s 20-8 season, which included the program’s first trip to the semifinals of the city tournament since 1985-86:

Congratulations to Josh James, and his proud mom, Debbie.
Your many accomplishments and accolades are well deserved. More importantly, you were a good role model and student at Stepinac. You leave behind a legacy of being a hard-worker on the court and in the classroom.
You were a great Captain and always showed the underclassmen love, even those on the lower levels. You will be missed, but wished the very best at Monmouth. Continue to make us all proud.
