Ossining State Championship Game

Note Ossining plays at 4:30 on Friday in the semis....time enough to get back where you are staying and see UConn around 7 against Towsan...though maybe not in entirety with whip-around coverage in NYS.

Win and they play at 6:30 on Saturday I think.

The Federation games used to be in Glens Falls....then they went to Albany for a few years...am delighted
they are back in Glens Falls.

Small town atmosphere is great. The games get GREAT coverage in the local paper....I think every blessed writer on staff covers some aspect of the event...whether they are sports writers or write the obits or whatever.

The arena is wonderful....no bad seats...maybe holds 6 thousand...can get very loud if the teams bring big fan bases.

Note: The Queensbury Hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the arena. Lots of the teams stay there. The lobby is full of players and coaches and the coaches seem perfectly happy to chat with ordinary fans about their teams.

The town takes the event seriously...a wonderful atmosphere.

Unfortunately, next year the tournament moves back to the city at Fordham, where it’s likely to remain. The reason for the move is that most of the teams are from NYC, Westchester & Long Island.

or Fortunately for NYC denizens.
 
The federation tournament began in late seventies when I was in high school.

Not for me. The Glens Falls Civic Center is a 15 minute drive.

Too bad most of the teams aren't from Glen Falls then.

Isn't Christ the King led by the top post player Natalija Marshall?

Natalija Marshall | Prospects Nation

Could this be a likely match-up of future UConn teammates? I can't go through the tens of thousands of postings on the recruiting entry here. Can someone give me a quick update?

somewhat unlikely........................seems to be a recruiting battle between Notre Dame and Stanford with UConn trailing.................

Not a problem. Looking forward to a rematch between Ossining & CTK. If it happens it’ll be on Saturday. Something to do between UConn’s 1st & 2nd round games.
 
I saw CTK in the December tourney at Paul VI in Virginia. They lost twice, and Marshall couldn’t stay out of foul trouble. It was hard to gauge, but Aubrey looked like the better player, despite the rankings. The only player better than Aubrey was the incomparable Azzi Fudd. I was not sold on Marshall.

CTK & Marshall hammered Ossining early in the season by 40+. Ossining was without Griffin and D1 bound pg Jaida Strippoli. They will both be back for the rematch. Should be fun to watch.

The other night at dinner I ordered a “Stella Artose.” My wife was mildly amused, but the young waitress gave me a look that indicated 1) she didn’t get it and 2) old guys are weird.

So much for trying to be funny...

I don't think UConn will miss out on much if Marshall commits to some other school. I was not impressed with her play, as if that means something.

No need to worry. 4 out of 10 millennials believe the earth is flat anyway.
