Box Score

John Bowne opened the game on a 16-0 run and cruised to a 66-38 win over Queens High School of Teaching in the PSAL Queens Borough Championship game at Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows on Saturday. 

The Wildcats held QHST scoreless for the first 5:45 of the game, amassing a 20-2 lead after the first quarter and taking a 45-15 lead into the locker room at the half.

Bowne coasted the rest of the way, earning their second straight PSAL Queens Borough crown. Matthew Parkinson came off the bench to lead Bowne with 16 points, while Amare Bonas scored 12, Mouhamed Dioubate 11 and Amadou Diallo 10 for the Wildcats. Eric Jackson led QHST with 12 points.

The win was even more impressive considering Bowne played without standout guard Tyshawn Trail, who was sidelined with an injury.

The Wildcats figure to draw a favorable seed in the upcoming PSAL playoffs, going 14-2 in regular season league play, with both losses coming to Cardozo, who finished the regular season with a perfect overall record of 24-0. The Judges dropped their first postseason game to Construction 86-69 in the Quarterfinals on Tuesday, in what was likely the biggest upset of the season in New York City high school basketball. QHST reached the final by defeating Construction 70-60 in the Semifinals on Thursday.
