Long Island Lutheran (14-2) is currently ranked No. 4 in the MaxPreps Top 25. The Crusaders are fourth in the NIBC standings with a 6-2 record in their first year in the highly-competitive conference.

Although Anthony will practice with the team for the remainder of the season and is expected to enroll in school today, he will not be eligible to play in any games until next season due to the timing of his transfer.
