For your reading pleasure, Saturday notebooks

As I said last night, my three-day vacation begins in earnest today, but here are the links for today’s notebooks:
In the North, “Somers’ Jaki Goldner is torching opponents and drawing the interest of recruiters.”:http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/SPORTS02/612300336/1049 Unless you are involved in AAU ball or caught any of the Empire State Games, Goldner, an athletic 6-foot-2 center in the Emma Markley mold, is probably the best player you don’t know. She’ll likely be one of only two scholarship players in Section 1 this season.
For the rest of Westchester, “Dobbs Ferry welcomed back Lauren Emerson yesterday.”:http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/SPORTS02/612300354/1049 Emerson tore her meniscus in the preseason  one of the countless personal battles she’s waged during her high school career.
If you know anything about Lauren, please wish her well. She’s been through a lot on and off the court. There’s also the mention of Ardsley’s 5-2 start, among other things.
In Rockland, “Jake discusses the turnaround of Clarkstown South,”:http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/SPORTS02/612300356/1049 which is already 5-1 after going winless all of last season. And “North Rockland’s Brianna Peterson was named the Rockland Scholar Athlete of the Week.”:http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/SPORTS02/612300355/1049
From yesterday, “here’s Jake’s story on the Slam Dunk title game,”:http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/SPORTS02/612300350/1049 and “here’s his story on the consolation”:http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061230/SPORTS02/612300327/1049
Former Demon Deacon Alex Myers, in his last assignment before heading to the Orange Bowl to watch Wake Forest beat Louisville, will cover tonight’s Yorktown tourney championship. I’ll let you know how it went down before I sit down to watch the Giants season come to an embarrassing close.
