Two Lions. One Journey. A Full-Circle Moment.

For Justin and Julian Champagnie ’19, Bishop Loughlin will always be home.

After taking their talents from the halls of Loughlin to the highest level of professional basketball, the NBA, the Champagnie brothers returned to Clermont Avenue this week, not as students, but as mentors, role models, and proud Loughlin Lions.

The brothers returned to Loughlin to host a basketball camp for the next generation of student-athletes, Throughout the day, Justin and Julian shared their knowledge of the game while encouraging campers to work hard, stay disciplined, believe in themselves, and understand that success doesn't happen overnight. Every drill, every shot, and every conversation offered a glimpse into what it takes to turn a dream into a reality.

Justin and Julian's journey is a story of hard work, perseverance, and staying connected to the community that helped shape them. Their return gives current Lions the chance to see what is possible when talent is matched with determination and opportunity.

The Champagnie brothers aren't just Loughlin alumni they are part of the growing legacy of Lions who continue to make their mark well beyond the walls of 357 Clermont Avenue.

And perhaps most importantly, they're showing the next generation that the dream doesn't have to end when you leave Loughlin.

Once a Lion, always a Lion.
