seriously, Lourdes edged New Rochelle by 30 pts?? you guys are too used to watching ossining scores!!
That Pearl River/Albertus Magnus game was unbelievable! First time I’ve seen these 2 teams play this season and many of the PR fans will likely disagree with me on this but I thought it was pretty evident that Pahrus was the x factor tonight, they had no answer for her and was playing on a level above everyone else.
Nonetheless, it was a fantastic game and I’m glad I stuck around for it!
I also have to give a lot of credit to the coach for Pelham, he had his team focused. While they were clearly outmatched in size and speed, they never gave up and fought hard all the way until the end. They were a scrappy team that kept hanging around. That girl #4 for Pelham was fantastic.
Best of luck to everyone in the finals!
