The crowd at the William O'Meara Memorial Gym in the basement of Holy Cross High School was raucous, ready to celebrate the boys’ basketball team’s remarkable comeback against rival St. Francis Prep in another classic Battle of Francis Lewis Boulevard.
But Bryan Geffen had other plans.
The Boston University-bound guard from Bayside, who is third in the CHSAA ‘AA’ in scoring averaging 23.4 points per game, buried a three-pointer from the top of the key to lift the Terriers to its first league win of the year, 67-59 over the Knights Sunday.
