Daily News | Roman Catholic’s Xzayvier Brown leads the Cahillites back to a Catholic League championship game
Roman’s Xzayvier Brown drives on Wood’s Deuce Maxey during the Catholic League semifinal boys basketball game at the Palestra.Xzayvier Brown has been on this stage before. The Roman Catholic point guard, now a senior, got minutes as a freshman on a star-laden Roman Catholic team that featured the likes of Jalen Duren, Lynn Greer III, and Justice Williams. That team lost in the 2020 Philadelphia Catholic League boys basketball championship to Neumann Goretti.
This was it for Brown. A senior season, which he approached knowing it was his last chance to leave high school with the coveted PCL title, had come down to 16 minutes. Later, Wood, which was led by Bethea’s 22 points and Milan Dean’s 16, cut Roman’s lead to two, 56-54, with less than two minutes to play.
But it was Roman’s Jermai Stewart-Herring’s dunk that sealed the deal. Brown then ran by the basket as the Roman Catholic student section bursted. He threw his arms out and let out a yell before getting back on defense. His job was done, and another Palestra performance by a Catholic League guard was complete.
