we made it to the regionals….. We’ve been working hard throughout the years to finally win
it this year.”
QC Head Coach Osafo Johnson says it was a long time coming, and they are grateful for the
regional title. He added, “This is probably our fourth or fifth appearance at the finals as a school, the last two times coming in second place, making it to regionals this year, forfeiting our first game, and losing one against St. Rose’s, coming back out strong, especially coming into the playoffs”
Meanwhile, in the third-place contest, St. Rose’s High thrashed the Bishops’ High 57-29.
