Just wanted to drop in with some results from tonight, the first of which is…

MOUNT VERNON 48, WHITE PLAINS 41: Close, close game, with White Plains leading after three quarters. The Tigers held a 41-40 lead with a little over a minute remaining when Angelei Aguirre, who had 29 points and eight boards, missed the front end of a one-on-one. The Knights then went on to hit 8 of 10 free throws in the final minute-plus to escape White Plains unbeaten in League I-A.

I talked to both coaches on the phone and, ironically, it was about what you’d expect despite the score: Sue Adams was happy and Patrice Moore was not. … Adams told me her players competed for 32 minutes for the first time. She feels they can play this way all the time. … Moore said WP did a solid job of making her team play its game.

The Knights were limited, with Shanyce Stewart not starting because she’s been sick, but still had their three best players on the floor. … All in all, very interesting.

JJEF 53, CARMEL 26: To me, this is not a good sign for Lourdes. The Warriors are scheduled to meet JJEF on Thursday, but the Pats look like they’re a machine right now. Carmel barely lost to OLL but struggled mightily here vs. John Jay. Will that prove telling?
OSSINING 87, PEEKSKILL 77: I talked to Dan Ricci briefly after this game and he was breathing a sigh of relief. Roberta Sleigh was back on the court for the Red Devils, who ran with Ossining all game. Alex Venuto starred for the O. She poured in a career-high 33 points on the strength of 17-of-17 from the FT line.

YORKTOWN 60, BREWSTER 51: Here are two teams I can’t figure out. I may have to stop trying.

The Huskers had a tough, tough Saturday against Briarcliff, but they rebound here behind 20 from Maggie Natell to earn a quality win over Brewster??? The Bears, on the other hand, seem to trip up every time I think they’re on a roll. I just don’t know where they stand in the Class A picture come playoff time. Anyone want to venture a guess?

NORTH ROCKLAND 59, SUFFERN 40: The Red Raiders strike again in their league, and should have it wrapped up pretty soon now. … It’s nice to see that Mary Abrams scored 18 points. She’s an awfully talented player who has seen her senior season hampered by injuries to her knee and wrist. You never want to see that happen to anyone.
And a few more… Maria Regina returned to action tonight with a win over St. Edmund’s. Jennifer Nixon led a balanced effort with 11 points. … Dobbs Ferry, which would be a real live team were it still in the Class C field, defeated Tuckahoe 47-30 behind 22 and 11 from Jackie Giulliano. … Irvington beat Valhalla 61-33. It marked, I believe, the second straight game Gillian Morley led them in scoring, which is a good sign following her recovery from a leg injury. … Sophia Aleksandravicius had 24 points and 14 rebounds in Holy Child’s 60-44 win over Greens Farms. It probably doesn’t mean much to Section 1 fans, but if you want to know all the area’s best players watch her this summer at ESGs. … The restaurant Confused was certain I was hiding the name of is Buon Gusto. Credit the assist to Gina Maher…
