The two Mount Saint Joseph High School teammates left the court arm in arm with tears in their eyes.
It was early March 2017. Darryl Morsell, a senior guard, had just played his last basketball game for the Gaels. He had his arm around junior forward Jalen Smith as they watched Gonzaga College High School (Washington, D.C.) hoist the 2017 Alhambra Catholic Invitational Tournament championship trophy -- the trophy they were supposed to win.
"Winning that tournament was a goal, not just for them, but for our program," Mount Saint Joseph head coach Pat Clatchey said. "Coming up short was a frustrating and disappointing time for them."
