For the last couple years more than a few of you asked how Westchester County and its parks department could sponsor a tournament that treated girls teams like second citizens. I cannot validate whether your voices were heard or not. But what I can report is that your wish has, to a degree, been granted.

I have a few things to report, but first up is this: The sixth annual Metro Classic will be played on Sunday at 2 at Christ the King in Queens.

Five Section 1 players were selected for The Burbs, which take on The Boros, a team that consists of players from New York’s five boroughs. Felicia [...]

A quick post: We have a story today about former Ursuline and Georgia star Cori Chambers, who will join the staff at Marist this fall.

Chambers was named the director of basketball operations under Brian Giorgis.

For details of what her new role will be, check out the story here.

The Sixth Annual Howie Frajberg Metro Classic will be held on Sunday, Oct. 25th at Island Garden on Long Island. John Reilly of the Lady Knicks will coach “The Burbs” for the girls.

STAC needs little introduction to Rocklanders out there. The school has long been a destination for local players. Harrington will join a roster that currently houses FOUR former LoHud-area stars: Kaitlin Page of Pearl [...]

Former Journal News Westchester/Putnam all-star Meagan Wood pled guilty in court today on felony charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. The 24-year-old former Carmel High School star was indicted after a drunk-driving crash last year killed Lisa Moray, a former basketball player at Ketcham.

In exchange for her plea, Wood will receive a reduced [...]

I just wanted to pass along a link to a story in today’s paper about Ramapo senior-to-be Allissa Basquiat (right). She’s playing in the USA Junior Nationals International Sports Festival next week.

Basquiat told our reporter, Peter Ferraro, that she hoped the competition (to be held in Champaign, Ill.) would help her land a college scholarship.

Basquiat [...]

A couple quick notes here that I will follow up on later in the week:

Angelei Aguirre will transfer to UCSB. The 2008 Journal News player of the year has, indeed, left Cal. She has transferred to Cal-Santa Barbara, where she will play for former Cal assistant Lindsay Gottlieb. Of course, Gottlieb played at Scarsdale, but [...]
