Final Four Preview: Ossining & Croton Daily Sports Digest, March 14

Welcome to Patch's daily snapshot of sports in Ossining & Croton.

Final-Four Preview

Section 1 girls basketball champion Ossining will take on Section 3 titlist Cicero-North Syracuse at 8 p.m. Friday, March 16 in the Class AA state semifinals at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy (Albany area).

MSG Varsity's Rob DiAntonio breaks down that game as well as others right here.

States Suspended?

For those who have the opportunity, make sure you can get to Troy to see the Pride play. One reason of course is the obvious one, that following a local team at the state final four is a special thing.

But another reason is it isn't certain how many more state tournaments fans will be able to see in the future.

That's because there has been talk about suspending state tournaments for two years in all sports, because of financial reasons, beginning with the 2013-14 school year, according to Rich Thomaselli's fine work on MSG Varsity.

Lax Rule Adjustments 

The Croton-Harmon and Ossining boys lacrosse squads will have to get used to some adjustments to the rules that are being made this year, with the biggest among them being the elimination of the 10-second count after the initial touch. 

See what it's all about in Mike Dougherty's post on the LoHud Boys Lacrosse Blog.
