BTW: Ossining girls get comeback Federation title win

[ThisJustIn]

As the buzzer sounded following the biggest win of his 25-year coaching career with the Ossining girls basketball team, head coach Dan Ricci — usually one of the most emphatic coaches in the state — didn’t scream, didn’t fist-pump, or even smile. He grabbed his water bottle and took a swig.

Ricci told his team before the weekend that he had never experienced the feeling of winning a Federation Tournament of Champions title. He celebrated winning seven gold balls, five regional championships, and four state titles, but never a Federation title.

Not anymore.
