Ossining versus Christ the King 4:40 today (Friday 4 Jan)

Not sure I agree with the call. Calhoun fouls out with 30 points
 
Ossining has 26 points in period, Chong has 23 of them.
 
She hit hit only 2 of first 5 FT, now just hit tenth consecutive
 
Chong now has 42 points, and at the line again, makes the first, makes the second
 
.-.
CTK scores, and is fouled. Misses the ft, and guess who, Chong with rebound
 
Chong can certainly score in a variety of ways, some unorthodox, and she showed she can hit clutch FTs (14 straight). I like her demeanor, she just goes about her business and doesn't show up opponents. She has long arms and is very thin. She'll need to hit the weight room like all HS kids. Her defense is atrocious.

I didn't see Calhoun do much but it sounds like she scored a lot of points and grabbed some boards. She has a college-ready body.
 
If you want to see more of Saniya, here's the link for Ossining vs St Anothony's. Link

I'm sure later today, MSGVarsity will have the replay of CTK vs Ossining available.
 
Saniya is for real.. Unorthodox, but she has great poise and she gets it done. Sierra did not get nearly as much accomplished in the second half as Saniya did.
 
Tony was ten rows behind the CTK bench but I never saw him

Thanks for the play-by-play, Phil.

Hmm. Saniya missed 3 of 5 FTs to start and then ran off 14 in a row. The latter is a valuable skill.

We got a skinny kid out of Florida about 5 years ago. She had a nice career with about 1,800 points and 140+ wins. The skinny kid from Long Island has already earned AA recognition. I'll take another athletic, skilled, skinny kid.
 
46 points, with 35 coming in the last 11+ minutes of the game. Not bad for a girl battling the flu as well.
 
Impressive performance I would say from someone who was "sick as a dog" before the game began. One would getter a better grasp of her talent with a couple of other division one players on her team.

29 points in the 4th quarter -- and that is an 8 minute quarter. Some intentional fouls and free throws in the last 2 or 3 minutes help explain this huge scoring output.

Saniya had some great passes -- mostly in the 1st half. She will be an assist machine at UConn. She is a wonderfully relaxed player. Moves very fast with very little effort.

Saniya certainly has the ability to play excellent defense; fast/quick hands, fast/quick feet, great anticipation, leaping ability (Saniya jumps center for Ossining) etc., etc.. I think what people see sometimes is more a function of what, I believe coach Ricci wants from Saniya…. Be a disruptive force on the perimeter…take risks…..harass the opposing guards, get in passing lanes, etc..She’s probably been told to keep her fouls to a minimum, and if an offensive player gets a half step on her, then let her go by……thus, the “Matador” defense people sometimes see from Saniya.

I’ve seen Saniya play eight times; she’s made some spectacular defensive plays of all types….blocks, steals,. deflections, etc.. She has the ability…..and when she gets to UConn and learns how to play Geno’s “Team Defense”, UConn fans will see just how good Saniya can be on the defensive side of the ball.

Go UConn! Kick Notre Dames butt tomorrow.

Yes, I was referring to the Matador defense I saw on several occasions today. With her long arms and quickness she has the physical tools to be a pretty good defender. She'll learn that at UConn.

Olde Coach, I think what Saniya tries to do at the start of games is get her teammates involved early. She knows the other team wants to put the clamps on her, so she initially tries to help her teammates score in the first several minutes of the game. And then, later on, she gets her scoring going.

I was at the game against CTK today and Saniya tried to do the same thing again. Unfortunately, at least 6 times, in the early going, passes she threw were fumbled, or layups missed, on easy scoring opportunities for Ossining.

I think you are exactly right, “She will be an assist machine at UConn”………….and I’ll add ….a scoring machine when needed. CTK could not cover Saniya one-on-one….she was more than a handful.
 
29 points in an 8-minute quarter despite the flu. Including 14 straight free throws. Sounds like a gamer. :)

I hope Sierra decides that she'd like to play alongside Saniya.

So who gets that Scarborough kid, who played her heart out for CTK? And what about that eighth grader for Ossining? Let's keep an eye on her, yes?
 
Rick Carpiniello: Saniya Chong takes over late in win vs. Royals


Chong had been shut out in the first quarter by one of the best teams any area team will play this season; she’d missed a couple of free throws and had just nine points at the half.
And her teammates — her mostly very young teammates — kept Ossining in the game and kind of lived up to the team nickname, which happens to be Pride.
Eventually Chong got going, and boy, she gets unstoppable then. She had 17 points after three quarters, and then piled up 29 of Ossining’s 32 points in the fourth to finish with 46 to go along with 11 assists, seven rebounds, four steals and two big blocked shots in an 89-84 win.
 
Geno noticed the 8th grader:

Eighth-grader Andra Espinoza-Hunter scored 18, including five 3-pointers — and Auriemma raved about her to Ricci after the game.
 
Remember what happened when Ossining played ArchBishop Molloy in their opener. Ossining led by 27 points late in the third quarter....Saniya had 37 by that time. She fouled out. AM closed the gap to the final score of 95-88....outscoring Ossining by 20 points in about 9 minutes. That would certainly lead the coach to emphasize to Saniya that she needs to be on the court....and if that means less 'd'...so be it.

It was impossible not to notice Espinoza-Hunter. Her body and court composure are well-beyond her years. I'm not surprised Geno took notice.

Possibly the best 8th grade shooter since EDD.
