Christ the King’s Bob Mackey wins Daily News girls basketball Coach of the Year award
Led Royals to Diocesan title after 0-6 start
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Published: Thursday, May 10, 2012, 5:21 PM
Bob Mackey and the Christ the King girls basketball team had a rough start to their season.
The Royals were 0-6, an unfathomable start for a team that historically is used to nothing but success.
Standout Rayne Connell was injured at the time, and everyone tried to fill her shoes, Mackey said.
“We had to make some adjustments,” Mackey said.
Soon after, “Everybody started to click a little bit.”
The Royals beat Cicero North-Syracuse, the eventual state champion. In that game, Mackey stuck guards instead of forwards on the nation’s top prospect, Cicero’s 6-4 Breanna Stewart.
Later in the season, CK was counted out again after losing a tie-breaker game to Archbishop Molloy, but the Royals pulled off a shocker by beating Nazareth in the Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan semifinals, 54-53. The Royals followed that up by pushing past Bishop Ford for the Diocesan title.
“We were playing to win,” said Mackey, the Daily News girls basketball Coach of the Year. “(Other) teams were playing not to lose.”
Though they narrowly missed a second win against Nazareth, the Royals' run was impressive nonetheless, especially considering its poor start. By the e

Daily News names five candidates for girls basketball Player of the Year award; five coaches up for honor also
Sierra Calhoun, Rayne Connell, and Kollyns Scarborough were honored by the New York Daily News as 2012 All City Basketball Players.
There are five nominees for the Daily News' annual girls basketball Player of the Year award, followed by the five candidates for girls coach of the year.
Winners will be announced at 5 p.m. on Thursday on SNY's "Daily News Live" program.
First Team All-City
SIERRA CALHOUN
Christ the King, So.
Calhoun was incredibly clutch down the stretch for the Royals, particularly in wins over Nazareth and Bishop Ford in the playoffs. Thanks to Calhoun, CK brought home the Diocesan championship.
DARIUS FAULK
Nazareth, Sr.
With issues surrounding the team on and off the court, Faulkwas the Lady Kingsmen's rock. She hardly ever faltered and always ran the show. While she may not have been the highest scorer, her impact cannot be overstated.
FANNISHA PRICE
South Shore, Sr.
The Vikings' season will get overlooked because of the semifinal loss to MSIT, and it's too bad because they went 13-2 in the regular season. Price was at the forefront for South Shore, scoring nine points a game.

Russo's big day not enough, Christ the King falls 9-0 to St. Francis Prep on Senior Day
Gabriella Russo did her best to will Christ the King to a win with a three-hit game, but Christ the King dropped a 9-0 contest to St. Francis Prep on Tuesday at Blue Jay Field.
Russo got a hit in each of her three at bats. She singled in the first and third innings and doubled in the fifth inning.
Senior Josephine Phillips was a workhorse on the rubber for Christ the King. Phillips allowed four earned runs, nine hits and 10 walks while striking out four over seven innings of work.
Nicole Lomangino got the win for St. Francis Prep. She pitched seven shutout innings. She struck out six, walked one and surrendered five hits.
St. Francis Prep's Danielle Cervasio, Briana Emanuele, Kelly Licul and Tara O'Rourke combined for five hits and six RBIs.
The game was never in doubt after the first, as St. Francis Prep scored two runs on an RBI double by Licul and an RBI single by Lomangino.
St. Francis Prep piled on four more runs in the top of the fourth. The inning got off to a hot start when Cervasio tripled, scoring Magdelena Aguirre. That was followed up by an error that scored Cervasio.
The coaches, Bobby Suarez and Kim Santoiemma would like to wish their seniors Erica Eddy, Josephine Phillips and Kimberly Velez much success as they graduate.
