The Cristo Rey Royals pushed their score all the way to 57 on Saturday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 68-57 to Atlee. While losing is never fun, Cristo Rey can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 191st, while Atlee is ranked 44th).

When it comes to explaining why Cristo Rey lost, one person who can't be blamed is Tyshawn Louis. Despite the final result, he scored 24 points.

Cristo Rey now has a losing record at 7-8. As for Atlee, the victory (which was their eighth in a row) raised their record to 9-1.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Cristo Rey and Benedictine will face off at 7:00 p.m. on January 3rd without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. As for Atlee, they will head out on the road to face off against Powhatan at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Powhatan's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last six contests.
