Stepinac hauled in more hardware Sunday, winning the CHSAA-PSAL Undisputed Championship with a 76-68 win over Eagle Academy-Bronx at Long Island University in Brooklyn.
The Crusaders have won the event three years in a row, beating Eagle Academy-Brooklyn in 2024 and Thomas Jefferson in 2025.
Adonis Ratliff picked up MVP honors after shutting down a fourth-quarter rally. The Eagles closed to within 57-55 with 6:23 to go, but Ratliff stalled the comeback with an off-balanced finish in traffic. He got the foul and made the free throw. Ratliff wasn’t done yet. He drained a 3 following a Denim Trotman bucket for Eagle Academy, then went coast-to-coast for a dunk that put Stepinac up 65-57. Ratliff finished with 23 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
The Crusaders have been idling since winning a fourth consecutive CHSAA AA Intersectional title March 8.
Hassan Koureissi got Stepinac off to a good start and also scored 23. Jasiah Jervis delivered 13 points and three assists for the Crusaders while Darius Ratliff finished with nine points and eight rebounds.
Stepinac has been invited to play in the Chipotle Nationals outside Indianapolis and is scheduled to play Spire Academy (Ohio) at 7:45 p.m. at Hamilton Southeastern High School on April 1.
