Jason Lewis wouldn’t let a repeat happen. The senior Berkeley Carroll Lions’ leading scorer didn’t forget last year’s crushing ACIS quarterfinal home upset at the hands of Packer.

This time, there would be no miraculous fourth quarter Packer comeback with a three-point buzzer beater. That’s because in his team’s biggest game of the season, J Lew went off for 34 points leading the Lions past a scrappy Packer team 59-46 at the BC Athletic Center in Park Slope. 

Before they even tipped off, a fired up Lewis yelled into the huddle reminding his teammates what happened last year. Not in their house this time around. That much was evident as the senior floor leader scored early and often helping BC run off the game’s first four buckets against a lesser experienced foe which came out tight.

The Lions led from start to finish due to arguably Lewis’ best performance. He got at least eight in the opening quarter as BC built a nine-point lead.

It would only get better from there. Using his full arsenal, J Lew combined sharp perimeter shooting including a couple of daggers from downtown with some strong drives to the basket which featured a nice finish and three-point play. With junior small forward Giancarlo Hirsch banking in a trey after beating a Packer defender to a loose ball, the Lions built a 23-point lead going into the locker room up 41-18.

By the half, Lewis had accounted for more than half his team’s points getting 14 in the second quarter.

“It’s only the first step,” the guard said later pointedly. “Two more to go.”

Meanwhile, Hirsch also had a solid first 16 minutes netting double digits. He finished with 11.

Trailing by 23, a pesky Packer squad never gave up slowly chipping away at it reminding Berkeley Carroll second-year Varsity coach Bob Merrill of what happened a year prior on the same court.

They sliced the deficit to 13 with under four minutes left in the fourth quarter. Unlike last year’s ACIS quarterfinal, Lewis’ and teammates didn’t panic. Following a couple of empty trips, Lewis converted a steal into a lefty reverse lay-up to give his team a huge hoop to go back up 15.

Some fancy dribbling by the 1,250-plus scorer helped break a press. That along with some smart ballhandling and passing allowed his teammates to breathe easier as they advanced to the ACIS playoff semifinals.

It’s anticipated that Dwight will be the likely opponent tomorrow night at the Al Smith Recreation Center in Manhattan.

Dwight took on Brooklyn Friends in the other quarter earlier tonight. They swept the regular season series from the Lions winning 68-52 at home on Jan.25 and edging BC a week later 46-44 back at the beginning of this month.

If they’re the opponent, Lewis and Co. will be looking for a different end result.

Girls Varsity visits Martin Luther in PSAA Semis Tuesday: While the boys play in Manhattan, the BC Girls Varsity will be visiting Martin Luther in a PSAA semifinal tomorrow afternoon in Queens.

Having finished the regular season with five straight wins including a 10-point home win last week over Dwight to qualify and defend their ACIS league title, the girls will be looking to avenge a 62-53 road loss from a month ago when they battle Martin Luther.

Led by 1,500-plus career scorer Zoe Cohen, senior Elena Levi along with junior Ashley Privett and rising freshman Keyanka Bailey, the Lions will try to improve their 13-7 record by going for No.6 in a row. They tipoff at 5:45.
