BASKETBALL
2019, 4A, at Lincoln
Bonner-Prendergast 59, Imhotep 57 (OT)
  After getting ousted from the CL playoffs in the quarterfinals, the Friars took major pleasure from being able to knock off the winner of three consecutive Public League overall championships. Isaiah Wong totaled 17 points, 10 rebounds and four assists and forced a last-second trey to clang off the rim. Oddly. B-P shot 13-for-25 at the foul line but 8-for-11 from beyond the arc. Five players scored from seven to 11 points. Tariq Ingraham (11) was the only one to join Wong in double figures.

EGAN/CONWELL-EGAN

BASEBALL
1968, at Connie Mack Stadium
Egan 1, Southern 0 (11 innings)
  A pair of lefties, Egan's Dennis Yesenosky and Southern's Willie Jones, were masterful in this marathon. Yesenosky allowed two hits and three walks and set strikeout records for seven innings (12), nine innings (17) and overall (20). Jones allowed eight hits and fanned 16. In the home 11th, singles by Tony Varacallo, Dan Connors and Jim Colella loaded the bases. Jim Carpenter sent a sinking liner to right and Vince DeMeis made the catch. With all three runners moving a doubleplay was possible, but DeMeis's throw to first was off-line. Jones then walked Paul Scalzone on four pitches to end it. In the sixth, Southern had runners thrown out at second and the plate.

Vincent DiLeo posted one TD apiece via rushing/receiving along with 109 yards. Jayvonne Campfield scored on a fumble return. The Lancers were coached by long-time boss Pat Manzi, who'd missed the 2014 season due to health issues. Two days earlier, the school had won the Class A City Title in soccer.

ROMAN CATHOLIC

BASKETBALL
2014, Class 4A, at St. Joseph's University
Roman 58, King 55
  Due to two delays caused by fan misbehavior (plastic soda bottles were heaved onto the court from high in the stands), the final 21 seconds required about 20 minutes. After the first stoppage, Rashann London sank two free throws to give Roman a 56-55 lead. London had been hit in the head, a ref ruled, right after having his fastbreak layup swatted by Jahmir Taylor. Thereafter, Roman went 2-for-4 at the line while King missed two shots and a pair of free throws (one on purpose in desperation mode). London and game MVP Gemil Holbrook (4-for-4 on treys) evenly divided 36 points. Manny Taylor (no relation) claimed 10 rebounds and Shep Garner made six steals. Greg Bennett scored 17 points for King and received major help from Taylor (13, 14 rebounds, seven blocks).

ST. JOSEPH'S PREP

BASKETBALL
2012, Class 4A, at Lincoln
SJ Prep 63, Bartram 56
  Coach William "Speedy" Morris won his first City Title in 38 years (1974 with Roman) and star junior guard Steve Vasturia tied the game record for points, which had stood alone since 1955. The owner? None other than Overbrook's Wilt "Dippy" Chamberlain, with 35 vs. West Catholic in 1955. This game took place one day after the 50th anniversary of Chamberlain's 100-point game with the Philadelphia Warriors. After shooting 3-for-12 for seven points in the first half, Vasturia exploded for 28 in the second half (17 in fourth quarter). He shot 10-for-22 (six treys) and 9-for-9. The Hawks went 13-for-34 beyond the arc and tried just 11 regulars, hitting six. Gene Williams (four treys) added 14 points. Tom Stewart, usually the seventh man but not used in the CL semis and final at the Palestra, accounted for 13 points with seven of his own and two assists that led to six more. The Hawks were without star junior swingman Miles Overton (thumb
surgery). For Bartram, which lost the last quarter, 21-12, Terrieck Williams sniped 8-for-9 for 17 points.

WOOD

FOOTBALL
2014, Class 3A, at Northeast
  Wood 42, Imhotep 34: While winning their seventh consecutive AAA City Title, the Vikings finally experienced a challenge. A 20-0 lead notwithstanding, victory wasn't assured until the waning moments when Alex Arcangeli (20-105, TD) gained two yards on fourth-and-1. Jarrett McClenton ran 25 times for 157 yards and four TDs; his 80-yarder capped a back-and-forth, three-TD explosion in the final 34.7 seconds of the third quarter. For Imhotep, Andre Dreuit-Parks passed 16-for-26 for 299 yards and four TDs, thanks
mostly to an electric performance by Denniston "DJ" Moore (7-200, TDs of 88 and 71 yards in the fourth quarter). The Panthers were without their main rusher, Tyliek Raynor (knee injury).
