Sectional Hoops: Ossining & Croton Daily Sports Digest, March 2

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

Ossining girls basketball

Not that we didn't know it already but Ossining proved that its No. 1 seeding in the Section 1 Class AA Tournament was well deserved as it blew out a solid No. 4 John Jay-EF squad 106-66 on March 1 in the semifinals of the tourney at the Westchester County Center in White Plains according to LoHud.com.

Saniya Chong had 33 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and five steals to lead Ossining to the victory.

Andra Espinoza-Hunter registered 21 points, including six 3-pointers, for the Pride.

Ossining advances to the title game at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 4 at the county center, against another Dutchess County team, No. 3 Our Lady of Lourdes, who comes from Poughkeepsie.

Croton-Harmon boys hoops

No. 6 Croton-Harmon enjoyed an incredible season on the hardwood as it earned a trip to the Section 1 Class B semifinals at the county center against No. 2 Albertus Magnus.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, they could not overcome the defending Class B champions as they fell to the Falcons 72-44 on Feb. 29.

Croton-Harmon was led by Wes Turner’s 12 points and four steals.

Teammate Ian Thom was right behind with 11 points.

County Center Action

In addition to the Ossining girls squad, there is plenty of other action in the Section 1 boys and girls basketball championships at the county center this weekend with Class A and Class AA boys semifinal games today.

Championship games in all classes for both boys and girls then will follow on Saturday and Sunday.

Eleven years after he retired, Carter was elected into the baseball Hall of Fame and many consider him one of the best catchers of all time. 

But where do you think “Kid” ranks among the best New York back stops of all time?
