B.C. rolls over PJP II

Zach Suski helped the Berks Catholic football team get back to the District 3 playoffs this fall. On Saturday afternoon, the Saints’ quarterback showed that he’s an important piece to the puzzle on the court as well. Suski tied his career-high with 18 points as Berks Catholic blew out Pope John Paul II 56-37 in the CoBL Winter Classic at Exeter. The 6’ senior jammed 16 points into the second half as the (2-0) Saints pulled away from the (3-1) Golden Panthers. Suski had nine points in the fourth quarter. Kingston McKoy set the tone with 13 points in the first half. The 6’2 junior finished with a game-high 19. Freshman guard Carmelo Harper added nine points and Jackson Kozik chipped in with seven points. Berks Catholic committed just one turnover after the opening quarter. The Saints turned it over six times in the first eight minutes, but still led 11-5. PJP II trailed 24-13 at halftime and 41-28 after the third period. Senior Jake Robinson scored a team-high twelve points. He hit two of the Golden Panthers’ four 3-pointers. Zahaid Edwards-Boone provided eight points. Junior point guard Ayden Wise was limited to three points. He poured in 18 on Friday in a 52-40 victory over Sankofa Freedom Academy from Philadelphia. PJP II won the District 1-4A championship a season ago. Berks Catholic gets right back to work on Monday night. The Saints visit defending BCIAA champion Wilson.
