Romeoville Christian Boys Qualify for State Tournament

The Kingsmen are headed back to the IACS State Tournament to defend their 2013 State Championship trophy. On Tuesday night the varsity boys’ basketball team of Romeoville Christian Academy defeated the Lions of Lake County Baptist (Waukegan, IL) 53-43 in the regional quarter-finals. The #6 Kingsmen blew the game open early by taking a 34-11 first half lead. In the second half the Lions battled back, but luckily for the Kingsmen they had built a big enough lead to defend the roar of the Lions. Jake Janson led the Kingsmen on his final home game with 24 points and 18 rebounds. Along with Janson, sophomore center Pat Miller had 12 points and 13 rebounds. The #6 Kingsmen match up against #3 Berean Baptist, Friday at Schaumburg Christian in the IACS regional finals at 2:30 pm. 

Friday night, Feb. 21 the Kingsmen Varsity boys’ basketball team took on the Crossroads Crusaders, a homeschool group out of Big Rock, IL. Friday was the final regular season game for the Kingsmen, however the outcome was not one to remember for seniors, Jake Janson and Dylan Beattie, losing 78-37. The Crusaders controlled from the opening tip-off, seemingly hitting every shot they took. The Kingsmen could just not combat the offensive fire power of the Crusaders.
