Notes On Sachem East Girls Basketball LI Championship

Doherty, Everson led the team to its second Long Island Class AA crown in four years.

Perhaps lost in the shuffle of the "We Are Sachem" rally held on Saturday and the Ronkonkoma St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday, the Sachem East Girls Varsity Basketball Team defeated Massapequa High School 55-50 to win the Long Island Class AA Championship.

This is the second championship for Sachem East in four years and earns the team a ticket to the New York State Public High School final four, which is held at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY on March 15-17. According to The Sachem Report, the Arrows will face Ossining or Monroe-Woodbury in the state semifinals.
