Congratulations to Seniors Brandon Gardner and Bryce Merchant on their commitments to play college basketball at the University of Southern California and Molloy University!

 

 

Congratulations to Senior Guard TJ Oliver on his commitment to play basketball at SUNY Morrisville!

 

 

Congratulations to Senior Guard Devin Vanterpool on his commitment to play basketball at Florida Atlantic University. Vanterpool was the Royals leading scorer this season, an All-League 2nd Team member, and helped the Royals reach the final four of the CHSAA Intersectional playoffs.

 

 

The Royals opened the CHSAA "AA" Intersectional Playoffs with a 75-55 win over rival Bishop Loughlin in the quarter-final round this past Sunday.

 

The Royals will take on Archbishop Stepinac HS this coming Wednesday at St. John's University. Game time is 8:00pm. Tickets can be purchased at St. John's ($10 adults/$5 students w/ ID). Stepinac is the only league team to defeat CK this year. The Royals have played Stepinac in the playoffs in 2017, 2018, and 2019. 

 

CK enters the game with an overall record of 23 - 4, including a 1st place finish in the Diocese of Brooklyn-Queens, a Diocese of Brooklyn-Queens Tournament Championship, and the overall #1 seed in the playoffs.

 

Come out and support your CK Royals on Wednesday night!!

 

This past Friday, Christ the King honored former Royal Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans with a jersey retirement ceremony prior to the Brooklyn-Queens Championship game. Alvarado is the schools 5th all-time leading scorer, a two-time city champion, ACC champion, and undrafted rising star in the NBA.

Congratulations #10!!

 

 

 

The Royals defeated a great St. Francis Prep team by a final score of 73-72 to win their 12th overall Brooklyn-Queens Diocesan Tournament Championship. The Royals were led in victory by Dwayne Pierce and Devin Vanterpool who had 22 points and 19 points respectively.

 

The Royals will now await the winner of a 2nd round game between Bishop Loughlin/St. Raymond for their Quarter-Final Intersectional Match-up at Fordham University on Sunday, March 5th, 2023.

 

 

The CK Royals finished their regular season this past week with a 77-66 win over Monsignor Scanlan HS of the Bronx. That secured a first place finish and 16-1 league record for the Royals.
