Father Judge had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They took down the Garnet Valley Jaguars 71-52 on Saturday. Given the Crusaders' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked first, while the Jaguars are ranked 64th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Father Judge has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 72.1 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Garnet Valley and nudges their season record down to 19-8.
Looking ahead, Father Judge will take on Spring-Ford on Wednesday. Garnet Valley does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
