the irvington/ardsley game was yesterday, not today
PK at Lourdes in the civil war up north.
FYI- Hamilton @ Valhalla game time is 5:00
The North Salem vs Brewster game scheduled for Friday Jan 18th has been canceled.
On my way to stepinac to watch the sweep of ursline academy
The rivalry that could have been as Mamaroneck hosts Rye Neck tonite. These schools should play each other every year in as many sports as possible. All these kids grew up together playing on the same rec and summer travel teams. Should be a lot of fun.
PICK OF THE EVENING;
PANAS-70 KENNEDY-55
BONUS;
STEPINAC-69 IONA PREP-65
PK 45 Lourdes 41 After 3. Lourdes had led most of game. A lot of Missed FT’s and layups by PK. Coach Santoro has done a great job with those boys.
Haywood Panas won don’t know score due to work
JAMES,
THANKS
PANAS 64-59
This is a good year for Section 1 Hoops. Outside of MV it seems like all teams from AA to B can play with each other. Things are getting interesting.
ON A ROLL;
PANAS IS STARTING TO BECOME A CONTENDER,
I WONDER WHAT THE DYNAMIC DUO DID TONIGHT
Ill see
STATESMAN,
SCORE?
Haywood just got word that Jimmy Jackson for Panas had a big night… Not sure on any numbers
THANKS JAMES,
WOW,ALL PARTIES WELCOME,PANAS IS TURNING INTO A TEAM
FINAL: Poughkeepsie 62, Lourdes 50. Very physical game; Lourdes hung tough but may have been done in by its lack of depth in the 4th quarter…
7 in a row for rye neck. Just beat Mamaroneck. A great game in a packed gym. Friday nights hoops at its best!
GREAT JOB
JEFF
Well Jackson was a starter last year and a big help, this year he is like a 6th man
JAMES,
I BELIEVE HE STARTED AS A SOPHMORE
My bad Wood thought I had put it up. Dancy hit that 3 at the buzzer to get the win to double digits. If Lourdes can persuade their football guys to get practices in I think they’ll be a major force in the class B race. Basketball works out muscles you never knew you had so it could be a good look.
Iona Prep caught a beat down!!
Sounds like dissension at IP!!
Vic has his handful with the Junior’s & Soph’s!!
Ego’s are too big! Hats off to Stepinac!
@ “stepped-in-it fan”.....did you seriously get on your way at 2:59 pm to watch a hs basketball game scheduled to begin at 7:00pm? clearly, you are a much bigger nit wit than you have proven to date! not the least bit surprised by your lackofintelligence, as it could have been predicted easily from your previous valueless comments.
Iona,
Did you consider maybe he went to the Jv and freshman games? Good night for stepinac.
Iona you got a real beaten tonight..your team is so selfish, self centered and dont play hard. I watched your freshman team get beaten up. Your jv got lucky and you varsity got laughed off the court.?? I think you have bigger problems than my arrival at an alumni event? Were you even at stepinac because if you didnt get there by 6:00 u were watching over someones shoulder. Typical iona perp guy…lose by 20+ and berate someone who roots for the winner? Talk about class. Talk about my prediction of a sweep..talk about your boy Matt Ryan getting held below 10pts. Real wit stepped in it fan..worth the 20 grand in tuition…lol..better luck next year..if your still in AA? Lol..
Step Fan,
Such a humble person. What do you care what they pay for tuition.
These are teenagers playing basketball. You lost in Football, baseball you will get blown out.
Everything changes year to year. Next year it will be all Iona!
Bbx,
I’m a stepinac fan and I think ‘step fan’ gets a little carried away with his attempts a humor, but I wouldn’t assume ‘next year will be all Iona’. Both Step and Iona have a lot of contributors that are juniors. Iona returns capuano, Ryan and ice. Step returns naim Thomas, Demarcus miller and Walter king. I like Step’s guys in each of those three good matchups.
stepped-in-it fan. are you honestly telling us that you are an alumnus of stepinac hs and went to a pre-game alumni event this evening?? you are barely literate, so i call bs on you…. hoops fan says you get a bit carried away? i guess so…. big problems at stepinac if you are the best they can produce. what was your class rank as compared to hoops fan if you do not mind my asking? would like to have father collins adjust the academics accordingly to get a better graduating product or the archdiocese.
I think Step fans are mad that none of their distinguished alum are on ESPN Sportscenter top 10 like Brian V at Vermont!
Iona..sour grapes? Class rank? “Better graduating product OR the archdiocese”???? Typical Iona Perp..horrible self centered egotistical phonys…just like the product on the court last night..Stepinac easily beat you both times? Why shouldnt i boast? This crying “getting carried away”????this coming from a guy who still brings up voelkel, sandro,brooner? Stop living in the past. You got laughed off the court. Send me your email and we can make arrangements to meet some where and compare HS transcripts? If you’d like?
Iona fan,
Why wouldn’t you just say good win for Stepinac? You beat your chest every chance you get, but you get swept and you call the Stepinac guy illiterate? Pretty harsh words from behind a computer screen that probably has spell check? Don’t agree with Step Fans comments but at least he is talking hoops. Iona show some class, even in defeat.
