Royals hand down winning verdict over Cardozo

MSG Varsity

by Elio Velez on Sun, Jan 11, 2015 9:45 PM — @eliovelez 

Christ the King coach Joe Arbitello felt sympathetic towards his star guard Rawle Alkins, who was suffering flu symptoms prior to a big non-league contest against Cardozo on Sunday afternoon.

Sophomore point guard Jose Alvarado was also concerned and gave words of encouragement to his Alkins that the Royals would pick up the slack. 

“I told him on the side, I know your sick and your going to try to play your best,” Alvarado said. “We got you, we’re going to let you take a break today and your going to bring it the next game. He [Alkins] said listen don’t worry about me, just play your game.”

Zambrotta paces Christ the King over South Shore

Christ the King has responded.

The Lady Royals responded from a tough December to go undefeated in January, including an impressive 66-53 win over South Shore in the Apparel Challenge Sunday afternoon. “Right now we’re 4-0 in 2015,” Christ the King coach Bob Mackey said. “December was difficult, 4-4. We lost to four very good teams.” Christ the King (8-4), ranked No. 3 in New York City and No. 9 in the Tri-State by MSG Varsity, also responded whenever No. 6 South Shore (12-4) made a run on Sunday.

The biggest example came when Earlette Scott’s baseline basket pulled the Lady Vikings within 33-32 with 4:39 left in the third quarter. South Shore,

Royals go 2-0 over the weekend; remain undefeated

Capped by a 52 - 37 victory over Xaverian this weekend, CK won two impressive league games to open the new year. 

On Friday night, CK played rival Archbishop Molloy in a nail-biter that CK won in overtime by a score of 58 - 45. The Royals trailed almost the entire game. But with 45 seconds to go and CK down 3, Tyrek Chambers drove to the basket and passed to a wide open Ricardo McLeod, who would hit the three to tie the game. CK then went on to take a three point lead, only to see Molloy tie the game at the buzzer at 43 and push the game into overtime. 

In the overtime period, CK would run off ten consecutive points, fueled by Chambers, who scored eight of them. CK would only give up two points in the four minute extra period, and move on to get

JV beats Xaverian, improves to 8 - 3

Coming off a difficult 5 point loss at home to rival Molloy on Friday night, the Royals rebounded with a grind-it-out victory over Brooklyn's Xaverian High School. The final score, 51 - 35, is not indicative of how close of a game it was.

After being up just 31 - 29 with three minutes to play in the third quarter, the Royals stepped up their defensive intensity to increase their lead steadily.

Kclejuan Brown, Adam Leslie, and Cai-el Smith were able to trigger CK's offensive load by turning Xaverian over, and then making the most of those opportunities by converting both in the paint and from behind the three-point line. 

CK closed the quarter on a 9-0 run to go up by a score of 40 - 29. From there, the Royals never looked back.

2014-15 girls basketball preview: Christ the King Royals

by Elio Velez on Thu, Dec 4, 2014 2:51 PM 

Christ the King girls basketball coach Bob Mackey has a smile on his face while describing the team that plays its first game on Sunday against Moore Catholic. 

The Lady Royals are different in a number of areas. The 2013-14 MSG Varsity NYC Player of the Year Sierra Calhoun has graduated along with important contributors Kollyns Scarbrough and Kristin Drogsler. 

But the Royals bring back talented juniors Sydney Zambrotta, Dominque Toussaint and players such as Kaela Kinder and 6-foot-3 center Ashley Howell look poised to make an impact. It’s almost a brand new team, but not quite. 

“I think they are very much under the radar. We graduated 11. Nobody graduates 11,” Mackey jokingly said.
