Cicero North (Breanna Stewart) Win in NY Four Finals

[Wbbfan1]

Breanna Scores 30 in the Win - Link

Probably play Saniya Chong and Ossining (Saniya Chong) Saturday. That's also the 1st game of the NCAA tournament. Perhaps fans will have time to travel to watch them play after the NCAA tournament game. If I recall correctly the UConn game will either be scheduled for 11:30 or 1:30 on Saturday in Bridgeport

How come a paisan with the name Pat Spadafore can't spell 'Geno' correctly? He's had a whole season to look it up.

Wb,
I went to the game and Breanna is absolutely awesome! There is literally no part of the game she cannot do. Hit the 3! Beat defenders off the dribble! Went inside & scored. Hit from 15! Blocked shots! Rebounded well! Passed well! Dribbled well. She didn't even play the 4th quarter as they were up by 30. What is SO impressive is everyone in the building knew who she was and the crowd was largely for Colonie as the game was played in the Capitol district. She was composed and carried herself beautifully. Hustled. Geno was at the game! She had 22 or 23 at halftime and in the 3rd quarter got her teammates involved. She ended up with 28 in 3 quarters play. She is going to add SO much to our team next year! I texted my son at halftime one word- WOW!!!!! She is a WOW!!!!

My not-so-little sis player for Cicero back in the 70s (when North Syracuse was still a separate HS).

Here's Breanna kicking my Alma Mater's butts in the section semifinal last weekend. I feel old. The daughter of one of my classmates scored the opening points before Breanna's decimation set in.

Oh, she verbaled today! That is so great! She did verbal, right? The usual suspects will probably jump on me now. I love your enthusiasm and your ouija board!!

Geno is doing a road trip. Saniya on Friday, Breanna on Saturday. He is looking into the future. I'll be interested in Saturday's matchup. Ossining will try to push the pace. Their best chance is to beat Breanna down the court. Too bad they can't both win.

There is a way they can both win, as long as they have a longer timeline than their match up game. Breanna already figured it out. Just channneling Tony, who I miss.

A paisan would actually be more likely than most to spell it Gino (shortened form of ambrogino), which is the far more common spelling in Italy. Geno is a variant.

ROCKY - I'm not on here ALL that often Was there some bad news abot Tony's well being that I failed to notice?? (Question for Rocky or anyone who sees this............thanks.)

It may be a variant, but one thing Geno is not is derivative. He is unique all to himself.

Nothing wrong with Tony. He last posted Fri. afternoon. He last viewed the board about nine minutes ago. (You can click on a member's avatar and check the "last seen" feature.)

I'm guessing Rocky just hasn't noticed him around as much as usual.

Again Props to Time with inf. I Join Marie and Rockie wanting to see Breanna go out with the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.Soniya and the other kids have next season with EVERYONE returning! They have already been invited to the Nike TOC Tournament in DEC! What is remarkable about this team is there is a 7th grader 5'9" who is the 6th man. They also have 2 SOs starting and I think 3 JRS which includes Miss Soniya! I hope Soniya develops a relationship with Breanna They may have a further opportunity this pre summer if Soniya tries out for the USA teams,she will be eligible for both the !6 and 18 teams. Breanna plans on going for the USA 18 team<bets on whether she makes it> DD should be going for that this summer also! This is worth following anyway,but it is a great opportunity to follow our recruits known and those not yet known or public for 2013,2014,2015!
2013 DD,Taya,McCall,Soniya,Samuelson both older and younger 2015, 2014_ Turner, Canada,Caldwell,Drummer,Calhoun, Eckerd and ????
** For those who do not know Breanna and MO have developed a close relationship DD with,Bria,Stef,KMLBreanna,Tuck,Stokes,Banks-GA,MO The rest from USA,AAU teams and tournaments! Jen!

I'll dare extend this topic only because of the centrality of Geno Auriemma to the program and, consequently, to the existence of this board.

I reiterate my main point: regardless of the commonness of the form Gino, the sportswriter should have verified the name of the nationally-renowned coach who has secured the services of the greatest female player ever to come out of the writer's backyard. He had a long time in which to accomplish this Herculean task.

I also don't want to see a new piece of misinformation propagated about Geno's name. 'Ambrogino' is not the source of 'Gino.' Ambrogino is, instead, the hypocoristic form of Ambrogio (Ambrose in English). The actual pathway for the shortened form Gino is this:

Luigi (Louis) → Luigino → Gino

By an amazing coincidence, Ambrogio/Ambrogino is related to Joe D'Ambrosio's family name and, perhaps more surprisingly, Svetlana Abrosimova's family name as well. They all are derived from St. Ambrose, an early Church Father.

Uh huh. Your linguistics fascination has nothing to do with it.

Your other point, to which I actually responded, was your implication that, as an Italian, he should know better. And I said his ethnicity -- and the aforesaid commonness -- might make him more, rather than less, apt to make the mistake.

As to his journalistic care and thoroughness, I demur. Must say, though, the misspelling doesn't bother me when I see it, as I sometimes do, in publications with smaller editorial capability that don't usually do business in WCBB. It might raise my eyebrow a bit more if it appeared in the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, the ESPN site, etc.

'Ambrogino' is not the source of 'Gino.' * * * The actual pathway for the shortened form Gino is this:
Luigi (Louis) → Luigino → Gino

Ambrogino is one of the possible sources, according to multiple, um, sources, which also recognize the possible Luigino source. Your alternative pathway is in any event to the same result -- Gino rather than Geno -- and might be a natural train of thought to one versed in the language who knows Geno's birth name was Luigi.

And the most certain thing is that, as regards any additional research, absolutely no one here cares. They don't care about this whole extended discussion for that matter, but mea culpa too. I like to critique critics.

OMG, this thread is re: Breanna's accomplishment and maybe her team's challenge vs.Ossining. How did it morph to silly representation/derivation of Coach Geno's name? Oy Vey!!

It was entirely Wonkster's fault. I had nothing to do with it.

Besides, it wasn't silly. Just irrelevant, querulous and off-topic.

Sorry Wins, been off line for a while - No, far as I know Tony's fine. Just my way of warning when I wax enthusiastic..."channeling Tony"...but he has been quiet.
