He was flanked by fellow Gate of Heaven alumni Josh Aciukewicz, to his left, and Chris DeRojas. Tim Crossin is in front of Flana- gan. The team got together last week at Tom and Eileen Crossin’s home for the first time since winning the Class A title. Queensmen (continued from page 7) the run with a layup at the 6:53 mark before Crossin made a play that seemed to put a dagger in the Panthers’ heart. While being guarded by Diethorn, the 6-1 Crossin held the ball at the top of the key, three feet beyond the three-point line. Di- ethorn backed away from Crossin. Crossin . answered with a 22-foot jumper to give the Queensmen a 27-13 lead with 2:53 remaining in the first half. “I don’t know why he did that,” said Sewickley head coach Win Palmer of Di- ethorn, a small-Division I college recruit who was held to nine points. “We heard that (Crossin) had NBA range and that was a huge shot. We always want to shot-challenge the shooter. We just didn’t do it. “But that’s what makes high school sports so unusu- al. If the kids were pre- dictable, it wouldnt be so much fun.” Matt Williams gave O'Reilly its biggest lead of the game, 46-25, on a layup with 1:01 remaining in the third quarter. The Queens- men finished the ' quarter with 48 points, five more than Sewickley’s defensive average. The Panthers led the entire Pittsburgh area in scoring defense at 43.2 points per game. “Give credit to O'Reilly, that’s a very good basketball team,” said Palmer, who has more than 400 career victo- ries. “But we didn’t play with our usual defensive in- tensity until sometime in the third quarter.” Amir Johnson came off the bench to score a team- high 18 points for the Pan- thers, including 14 during a furious fourth-quarter rally. Sewickley got within 10 points at 1:03 mark, but nev- er closer. Crossin scored 12 points in the quarter and the Queensmen made 16 of 21 free throws in the final 6:41 of the game to seal the win. “Timmy is a great player,” said Belenski of Crossin. “He’s had the ball in his hands since his freshman year. He does whatever it takes to win. Tonight, we needed him to score 31 points.” That wasn’t the game plan, Crossin said. “lI didn’t come out think- ing about scoring 31 points,” he said. “I missed my first three shots, but then hit my next three. After I hit those, I started to feel more com- fortable.” After the game, the O'Reilly seniors led the team off the court to the deafen- ing roar of the large contin- gent of Queensmen fans who made the trip to Her- shey. “This is the greatest feel- ing in the world,” said senior forward Matt Flanagan, who scored 14 points. “We worked so hard to accom- plish this. What a great way to end your high school ca- reer.” Bishop O’Reilly (30-4) Tim Crossin 9-15 10-12 31, Matt Flana- gan 3-9 7-8 14, Jason Blazosek 1-2 2-2 4, Mike Podcasy 2-3 0-0 5, Josh Aciukewicz 2-6 8-12 12, Kevin Della Rosa 0-0 0-1 0, Chris DeRojas 0-0 0-0 0, B.J.
