"Brother Martin basketball coach Chris Biehl said he thought his team might have blown its chance at reaching the playoffs when Holy Cross beat the Crusaders at the buzzer last month.

But five victories in the final six games were enough to earn the last possible seed in the LHSAA Division I select playoffs.

No. 24 Brother Martin (13-17), which moved ahead of three other schools on the final day of the season, will open the playoffs with a rematch against No. 9 Holy Cross (24-5) in a first-round game set for 6 p.m. Friday.

“Now you go into the playoffs with a group of kids that are starting to believe,” Biehl said."

Show your support for our Crusaders as they begin district play at Holy Cross on Friday at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for Brother Martin students and faculty with a school ID. Let's geaux, Saders!
