After two losses in the first half of Catholic League play, Father Judge is picking up steam.
The Crusaders, widely expected to be one of the PCL’s main contenders after a strong summer and fall, seemed to solidify that status after a win over Imhotep Charter midway through December. But the Catholic League is a gauntlet for a reason, and a two-point home loss to Bonner-Prendergast and a five-point defeat at Devon Prep were good reminders that there were indeed other strong challengers for the crown.
But since that loss to the Tide on Jan. 16, Father Judge has won its last three league games, beating fellow contender Roman Catholic by four on Thursday before an absolute demolition of Cardinal O’Hara, 82-35, on Monday night in Delaware County.
