The college basketball season opens in less than two weeks. There are high expectations this season at Saint John's University, and for Brooklyn native Julian Champagnie as he begins his junior season.

The Bishop Loughlin alum went through the NBA draft process in the offseason before deciding to return to school. He was named to the preseason all-big East first team and welcomes everything that comes with those increased expectations.

The Erasmus Hall football team won the last 2 PSAL city championships. Their quest for number three is going well so far.

The Dutchmen are 7-0, but it hasn't been all smooth sailing. Erasmus Hall has been challenged in games this season against Tottenville where Erasmus Hall needed a last-minute touchdown to win.

Just last week against Curtis, where Erasmus Hall was down 7-6 at halftime, then scored 29 points in the second half on their way to a 35-21 win. Erasmus Hall quarterback Vincent Cajano says there's been challenges just getting on the same page with teammates after not playing last season.
