The Play-By-Play Classics came to Cristo Rey on Tuesday for a five-game affair, which saw 10 teams from the area match up for a series of inter-league affairs.
Here’s a brief recap of all five; click here for our staff standouts from the event:
Game One: Episcopal Academy vs. Bartram
Traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway did its best to slow down Episcopal out of the gate, but the Churchmen survived an initial flurry of 3s from Bartram, then found their feet and pulled away over the course of the second half for a 75-43 win.
It was 19-9 Bartram after one quarter, the Philadelphia Public League squad knocking down its first three 3-pointers as EA started off 1-of-11 from deep.
“We showed up late and everything, it was hard to get going,” junior guard Tyler Beaulieu said. “Beginning of the second quarter, we got two or three stops in a row and we made a few shots […] and that’s when we started going.”
