WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Alan Griffin accomplished more in a one-month span between Feb. 24 and March 24 than most high school basketball players can expect to do in a career.
First came a CHSAA Archdiocesan title for Archbishop Stepinac, with Griffin dropping 29 points and 11 rebounds on Cardinal Hayes in a 78-62 victory. Then the first of two MVP performances with 20 points, eight rebounds and three blocks as the Crusaders took down powerhouse Christ the King.
Griffin had one final MVP caliber game in him, as he capped his senior season — his high school career as a whole — by leading Archbishop Stepinac to a Class AA Federation Tournament of Champions title with 26 points, 16 rebounds, three assists and three steals.
