Long Island Lutheran has several Division I caliber players on its squad. Jeriel Henriquez, Brian Wilson and Rich Harkins to name a few. While having talent is key, how that talent is utilized and how it blends together is just as relevant.
In Sunday's win over a pretty good St. Anthony's team, the Crusaders had four players in double figures. Henriquez had 17, Matt Rooney had 13, Kevin Johnson had 12 and Wilson added 10. It's tough for teams to defend that type of balance. The Crusaders didn't shoot the ball well from the outside, but they worked well together on defense, forced a ton of turnovers and looked for each other on offense.
"Here's the deal," Lutheran coach Brian Carey said after the game. "We don't have a selfish player on this team. They are always looking for each other."
Fortunately for the rest of the island, Lutheran is not in a league, so it won't kill a team's hopes of winning a county title.
