Blind Brook launched an enormous comeback in the game from a deficit of 45-26 in the third quarter. The Trojans trailed 50-49 in the game’s closing seconds but were unable to take control of the game.
“We didnt’ shoot the ball well and we missed some open layups,” Blind Brook coach Manny Martinez said. “I told the girls at halftme that we can come back into this game if they start making those shots. Sure enough, they did.”
Blind Brook fell in last year’s Class B Section 1 final to Irvington while Ardsley lost in the Class A quarterfinal (they are now playing in Class B).
“We have to keep the intensity up,” Pilla said. “I know that we backed down a little bit. We need to keep forcing the ball and pushing the ball so we can keep the lead.”

Did any of you go to a game? This reporting is worse than last year. Maybe we need some women to scout and report the Westchester ladies…
Did a team not measure up? Did anyone look as good as the hype? How about the new kids on the court? The ones I saw were trying to win their place as starters or sixth girls You must be all Republicans.
What is that supposed to mean?
Ladies fan, Phil covered the Ardsley/Blind Brook game; there will be a game-story in the paper tomorrow. We have been on the beat all of two weeks, please allow a little more time to settle in.
Maybe you haven’t noticed but the Republican dominated House of Representives have placed only men as chairs of committes. This blog leader has no insight. So I can only conclude he dismisses the girls varsity teams. We’ll have someone new again next year unless these fellows put some passion into this site.
Would you please give these guys a break for at least a little while?
Varsity fan, I don’t know what the Republican party has to do with high school basketball coverage, but as I said to Ladies fan, we are just days into the season, and we have only been on the beat for two weeks. Rome was not built in a day, but we are dedicated and passionate enough to have it built promptly.
Mike…good luck!!! They all come out on this blog.
Stanner,
How many points are you giving to Ossining when they play the Lady Stanners?
needs work- online team analyses more in depth than the article written about Ossining- Really?
@River, With the game being played at Ossining, Section One refs and the “influential” coach on the sideline, I’m just hoping the Lady Stanners come within 25! (ha-ha)
Seriously people give it a rest. Find me another paper in NY that gives more insight to HS basketball. The papers up north (PK journal) give less coverage to boys basketball. I think Mike and Phil do a great job considering papers cutting resources. If you were at a game, give your input on the game in this blog instead of crying about the coverage.
@ cuselfho. Read the times herald record which covers Sullivan and orange counties blows the JN coverage of hs sports away!
OK Rockland concerned fan. Please send me a link to their HS girls basketball reviews on all their teams in their coverage area. That way we can judge. They have 1/4 the teams in the covergae area so it should be exstensive. I know on the boys side all the fans from their coverage area are on the JN HS boys blog complaining about them. Do they even have a blog for girls HS basketball?
Stanner,
Hope you can make the game!
River, Can’t wait. It will be fun for me whatever the outcome. Molloy has 3 good players but I believe Oss is the better team especially based on last year’s results.

@cuse. They don’t have on online blog but I thought we were talking about paper versions
