A big scoring game from Mikayla. Congrats to her and her teammates!

Coach Bill - great clips, extremely athletic, quick release, very impressive............I have only seen MC in highlights.............how good/consistent is her outside shot? I had viewed her more as a slasher then a long range shooter.........is that still the case?

I'm getting more amped up about Mikayla all the time. A couple of those highlights remind me of Bria Hartley. Looks like they're about the same size, whatever that size is.

So if Mikayla is Bria's size that means she is somewhere between 5'6" & 6'2".

Give or take.

Emblem: I absolutely plan to be there if Ossining makes it to the semi-finals in Troy
I would greatly appreciate getting a heads-up on the board as they begin the tourney.

Hi Blake!
Interesting developments locally. Last year Shenendehowa (of Clifton Park)lost the public school title game to Ossining by 3 points because they shot 8 of 20 at the foul line. We all assumed a repeat game was coming this year when Shen beat Jamesville Dewitt of Syracuse in January, but Shen just lost to Shaker, who I think only has one loss so far, so it may not be Shen/Ossining this year in Troy. Shen plays Saratoga tomorrow night. I may go just to see how Shen looks. They should beat Toga. They beat them earlier. I'll keep you posted.

That was her final regular season game from Saturday mentioned above. Just an FYI.

Lexi Gordon had 21 points Tuesday (2/14) but just 4 after halftime as she was doubled and shadowed. LD Bell fell to Plano in the district playoffs.

Megan Walker scored 32 Wednesday to help Monacan advance to the conference title game.

The score was 79-60, rather close for local competition. The championship game is at Monacan on Friday. I'd go, except I need to head out of town on a family issue.

Clearly she came down a competition level or 2 in returning to Ossining for her Sr season. I hope it doesn't hurt her game.

Clearly she has worked on her game and has really improved. She clearly is in an offense that is designed for her to score. Saniya clearly was not hurt by playing in that area. I am clearly just messing with because I am bored before the game.

Niskayuna was eliminated last night. Olivia Owens done for the year.
