Roman Catholic did not have the momentum it desired heading into the Philadelphia Catholic League playoffs. Losing two of their last four games, falling to the hands of Neumann-Goretti and St. Joe’s Prep, the Cahillites had to do some real soul-searching to get back on track.
The pair of losses put a blemish on an otherwise perfect Catholic League record as they cruised to a 19-3 overall record. However, with the biggest games still to come, the Cahillites had to wipe away their recent disappointing performances and get back to the impressive team they proved to be early on in the season.
“We were a really good defensive team like early in December and January, and we kinda fell off,” senior guard Xzayvier Brown said. “Getting our identity back was our main focus.”
