Preview: NYS Federation Championship

East girls take one final spin on the court upstate.

In a game that's more about bragging rights than anything else, the Sachem East girls basketball team will face the winner of yesterday's Christ the King-Murray Bergtraum contest in Sunday's NYS Class AA Federation title game in Glens Falls, N.Y.

The Federation pins the best private school against the best public school. Sachem East already won the Class AA New York State Public High School Athletic Association title last week when it beat Shenedehowa in Troy, NY.

Facing Bergtraum is nothing new for East, who has scrimmaged the city school  a couple of times over the years. Though East has won 22 of its last 23 games, Bergtraum has won five of the last six Federation titles and Christ the King has won 14 Federation championships in the last 20 years.

Keys: Don't focus on the win or lose at game's end, but check and see if Kristen Doherty scored 11 points. If she did, then she will move into seventh all-time on Long Island's girls basketball scoring list.

Sachem Patch will be upstate covering the game Sunday afternoon.
