This is the penultimate weekend of New York City high school basketball playoff games. All of the public school divisions have semifinal match-ups and the Catholic league will crown a champion. A handful of Bronx teams still in the running have legitimate title shots.

The Boogie Down was heavily represented in the Catholic High School Athletic Association boys semifinal round, with three teams in the Final Four: St. Raymond’s, Cardinal Hayes and Mt. St. Michael.

On Sunday, the Mt. St. Michael Mountaineers earned its semifinal appearance with a shocking upset of two-time defending champs Christ the King, which was again a favorite to repeat behind University of Connecticut recruit Omar Calhoun. But stocky sparkplug Mount guard Malik Gill upstaged Calhoun, dropping 30 points and helping hold Calhoun to just 16. But Mount fell flat in 55-40 Wednesday night loss against Holy Cross, a deep team that thrives without a true star.

Holy Cross moves on to play St. Raymond’s, which won the Bronx title last week (in a gritty performance against Mount) and appears to be peaking at just the right time. The previous two years, the Ravens, led by coach Oliver Antigua, had lost in the semifinals to Christ the King. This year, behind senior stars Daniel Dingle and Kerwin Okoro, St. Ray’s edged Bronx rival Cardinal Hayes, 54-53, in the semis for a birth in the final. The Ravens, who had lost to Cardinal Hayes twice during the regular season, are looking for their first Catholic league title since 2007.

St. Ray’s takes on Holy Cross for the championship at Fordham University’s Rose Hill Gym at 3 p.m. MSG Varsity will be broadcasting the game live.
