Archbishop Spalding and St. Frances Academy are among the teams that made it to the semifinals of the the 50th annual Baltimore Catholic League tournament. (Kevin J. Parks/CR Staff)

Calvert Hall College High School in Towson will serve as the host institution for the semifinals and championship game of the 50th annual Baltimore Catholic League tournament. 

The March 24 semifinals will pit three-time champion St. Frances Academy against Our Lady of Mount Carmel at 5:30 p.m., and Archbishop Spalding against The John Carroll School at 7:30 p.m. The winners meet in the title game March 26 at 6 p.m. 

The boys’ basketball tournament has traditionally concluded on a college campus, but this year’s conclusion was moved to one of the members for the first time because of COVID-19. There will be no public ticket sales for the last two rounds, but games will be available on a livestream, via bclbasketball.com. For the semifinals, visit http://bit.ly/BCL21SemiGA. For the final, visit http://bit.ly/BCLBball21GA.

St. Frances Academy is looking to become only the second member in the history of the BCL to win four straight tournaments, something Loyola Blakefield did in 1975-78. The Panthers went unbeaten in a shortened BCL regular season, one reason Coach Nick Myles was named the O. Ray Mullis Coach of the Year.

The other semifinal matchup is a surprise, as sixth-seeded John Carroll upset third-seeded Mount St. Joseph, 67-65, in the quarterfinals March 22. The Patriots next get second-seeded Archbishop Spalding, which is led by junior Cam Whitmore, who was voted Jerry Savage Player of the Year.

Kevin Kalu of Mount Carmel was named the Mark Amatucci Defensive Player of the Year. Gavin Walsh of Loyola Blakefield was named the Cokey Robertson Most Improved Player of the Year.

Joining Whitmore on the all-league team were D’Angelo Stines of Mount St. Joseph; Deon Perry of Mount Carmel; Khyrie Staten and freshman Derik Queen of St. Frances Academy, Jalen Bryant of John Carroll, and Calvert Hall sophomore Mike Williams.

The second team consisted of Julian Reese of St. Frances Academy; Walsh and Cam Smith of Loyola Blakefield; Kalu and Toby Nnadozie of Mount Carmel; and Mount St. Joseph freshman Bryson Tucker.

Receiving honorable mentions were: Tyson Commander, John Carroll; Cesar Tchilombo, John Carroll; Ausar Crawley, Mount St. Joseph; Jordan Pennick, Archbishop Spalding; Vincent Payne, St. Maria Goretti; Jordan Green, St. Maria Goretti; and Tyheil Peterson, Archbishop Spalding.

The Dave Kropfelder Never, Never Quit Awards went to: Jalen Bouknight, Archbishop Spalding; Jason Ogbolu, Calvert Hall; Jaiden Jakobowski, John Carroll; John Dixon, Loyola Blakefield; Dominick McKinney-George, Mount Carmel; Sean Carr, Mount St. Joseph; Caleb Obannon, St. Frances Academy; and Chris Abissi, St. Maria Goretti.
