There are no secrets left for first-year Lansdale Catholic head coach Tom Lonergan or his Crusaders.
According to Lonergan, Lansdale Catholic has never beaten Cardinal O’Hara in its storied history which also included a PIAA title in 2023 for the Crusaders.
He would have loved to give his team that little tidbit after finally defeating the Lions on Tuesday night.
Instead, the cat was out of the bag prior to the game, so to speak.
“It’s really big,” said LC senior point guard Sanyiah Littlejohn of the win. “This is our first time breaking history. We never beat O’Hara, this was a big night for us. We kept an undefeated record on our home court, so it was pretty special.”
