Carmel vs Mahopac 4 pm
DRF Hoops for a Cure at NewRoc City
Saunders vs. Eastchester, 2 p.m. Eastchester 60-50
Poughkeepsie vs. White Plains, 4 p.m. upset special WP 52-46
New Rochelle vs. Middletown, 6 p.m. New Ro 68-64
Big game for New Ro against a talented Middletown club. New Ro has been disappointing this year but if they get the scalp today some of their street cred will be restored. Look for a close game in this one.
Would love to see WP come up with a win today but unfortunately dont see that happening. It would be nice though to see them play a solid game in control and keep it close with a chance to win in the fourth quarter, that I think would be a win for them. Would especially like to see that after what happened at Scarsdale.
Mahopac should be a great atmosphere today at 4,will certainly be a good game but have Pac winning this one. Hopefully security can keep the fans in check, usually never a problem with the kids playing always seems to be the fans.
STATESMAN,
I GOT STUCK WITH FAMILY DUTIES,I WOULD RATHER IT HAPPEN NOW THAN IN MARCH,GOOD LUCK

WPBBall,
1-1 so far. Let’s see if New Ro can get you the rubber match.
Pac with a win today against Carmel. Not pretty, but a win. Great enviroment for HS hoops.
Theonly downer was the Carmel AD screaming at the Mahopac AD on the court after game. He was mad because the Pac fans rushed the court, LONG AFTER the handshake between the teams.
Will it ever end with this guy? Maybe he should step down if it is too much for him!
New Ro score anyone?..
New Ro by like 40
Haywood, did not see most of the Pok game. How are they?
NS won 60-38 over blindbrook. Umar singh scored 22 including his 1,000th point
New Roooooooo! Wow!..couldnt resist..lol….nice win.
HOOPS,
POK GRINDED AND OUT BOXED WHITE PLAINS DOWN LOW,I WAS NOT THERE BUT I READ SOME FEEDBACK FROM REPORTERS,VERY SLOPPY GAME
Heard the refs didn’t let the kids play in the PK-WP game. A lot of whistles to negate points that could have been on the board. Toss the records out when PK-WP plays, WP always comes hard for them.
great win for laffin and boys….surprised carter dominated wp pt guard
jetsstink,
You seem to know a lot about Pok bball. Do u live in Pok? Pok has had some very good teams. Very consistent even though they have not won a chip. Got to be a difficult place to coach. How do they do it?
have taught there for 24 years…....we have great kids who are passionate about their sports and great coaches who care about our kids. It s been a great place to live and work. States was a former student of mine and I am so proud of all my former students who have been successful. Unfortunately, many have ended up on the wrong side of the law or worse. But our student athletes are truly great young people who have a lot to over come.
I coached there earlier in my career. After a few years off to raise my family I am now coaching in a nearby district.
