The winning never gets old.
That was the sentiment revealed on the faces and reactions of the Modesto Christian boys basketball team that captured its third straight Sac-Joaquin Section Division 1 championship Wednesday with a 68-63 victory over league rival Lincoln-Stockton at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
The trio of Marcus Robinson, Myles Jones and Gavin Sykes combined to score all but 14 of Modesto Christian's points as the Crusaders improved to 27-5 while capturing the program's 22nd section crown.
Robinson, a 6-foot-4 transfer from Valley Christian-San Jose, made 10 of 11 shots and scored a game-high 21 points.
Donez Lindsey had 18 points for Lincoln (26-6), which lost for the third time this year to Modesto Christian. Teammates Quentin Thompson and Anthony Moore contributed 16 and 13 points, respectively.
