Besides the Slam Dunk, two other local tourneys went on today. In the championship at Carmel, Gillian Felix’s 20 points and 18 boards carried Mahopac over Brewster 62-56. Some of our readers think the officiating was less than stellar. Carmel won the consolation over Kennedy. My question is, why didn’t Haldane get the fourth invite to make it an all-Putnam tournament?
On the other side of the river, Nanuet beat Nyack and TZ beat North Rockland to advance in the North Rockland tournament. N-Rock is really struggling. I’ll be at the championship and consi games tomorrow so maybe I can diagnose why to those of you who are as curious as me.
Here’s the full complement of games.

Jake,
The tournament at Carmel has had the same 4 teams for many years. It used to be called “The Big Four” and the boys were included. Now the girls play in The Ron Weaver Memorial games in honor of the former assistant coach who died suddenly a couple of years ago. It is not really a tournament because the opponents are pre-scheduled no matter which teams win the openers. Arguably you could declare Mahopac this year’s “winner” because they were the only team to go 2 and 0.
