A second place finish in Atlanta at the St. Pius X Christmas Classic was one of many highlights of the season. The Hawks lost in the championship game of the tourney to Christian Brothers (TN) in a thrilling, triple OT game. Christian Brothers finished their season 28-0 and ranked #16 in the nation, according to MaxPreps. The Hawks' near perfect regular season earned them the #4 seed for the NCISAA Tournament and a bye for the first two rounds of play. As the higher seed, Charlotte Latin hosted Covenant Day in the quarterfinal and defeated the Lions 58-43. Next up, the Hawks faced top-seeded Carmel Christian in the semifinal, in front of an electric sold-out crowd. Unfortunately, after a few lead changes late in the fourth, Carmel Christian pulled away at the end on the free throw line and the Hawks fell 44-54.
Junior Ned Hull led the Hawks in scoring this year, averaging 15 ppg and earning All-State and 1st Team All-Conference honors.
