Kingston McKoy Injury

Berks Catholic point guard Kingston McKoy underwent surgery for a fractured tibia on Wednesday morning. The promising 6’2 sophomore injured his left leg in the third quarter of Tuesday night’s game against Reading at Lloyd Wolf Gymnasium. McKoy’s leg was put in an aircast and he was taken to Reading Hospital.

The Saints trailed 47-37 with 2:31 remaining in the third quarter when McKoy went down awkwardly under the basket. Berks Catholic rallied to beat the Red Knights 61-59. Kingston’s older brother, Josh, had a go-ahead layup with six seconds left. The Saints remain undefeated at (14-0, 8-0). They’re on top of Division 2 in the Berks Conference.

Kingston McKoy entered the week averaging 16 points per game. He had five points before suffering the leg injury versus Reading. McKoy scored a career-high 29 points in a 77-73 overtime victory at Trinity on December 28th. He opened the season with 21 points in a 54-32 rout of Cedar Crest. McKoy was the sixth man a season ago when Berks Catholic went (23-5) and won the District 3-4A championship. He earned the reputation as an elite defender.

Longtime head coach Snip Esterly said recently, “Kingston is the No. 1 kid that gets everybody on the same wavelength. He’s an incredible leader.” Esterly noted that the sophomore made sure his teammates were attending their early morning workouts during the offseason. After the Saints won at Wilson 44-40 last Thursday, Josh McKoy remarked, “The sky’s the limit for him.”
