Northport residents will officially have a chance to reduce the size of the Northport-East Northport board of education this spring. The board passed a resolution at its Feb. 11 meeting that will add a proposition to the budget vote this spring to decrease the membership of the board from nine trustees to seven. The United Taxpayers of Northport-East Northport came to the board with a petition in June 2015 saying that nine members have made the board less effective. In its petition the United Taxpayers stated “statistical and anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that school districts operate in a more effective and efficient manner when the composition of the board is limited to no more than seven board members.” Armand D’Accordo, a member of the group, backed up its sentiment. “I have gotten the sense at board meetings — both through watching and interacting — that it seems a bit dysfunctional, due to the makeup of how many members and how long they’ve been around,” D’Accordo said in a previous interview. He also said the organization became interested in this idea after reading a study by Nina Dorata and Cynthia Phillips, titled “School District Boards, Audit Committees, and Budget Oversight: Seeking a Formula for Good Governance,” pub-

lished in the March 2013 issue of the CPA Journal, which exposed the correlation between school district budget increases and tenure of board members. “I do feel confident in the public,” D’Accordo said of the resolution passing. “There is a general sense I have been getting while collecting signatures for this petition that the public wants a smaller school board.” Trustees have said they do not think this is a necessary step. “We have a large and diverse community with a lot of different areas to represent,” Vice President David Badanes said in a previous interview. “The more people that participate gives you more eyes for each issue. The statistics are speculative and so far the arguments do not convince me.” After the resolution passed, Trustee Jennifer Thompson asked if the district would be held responsible to inform the public on this issue. “Since this proposition came from the community and not the board or the district, how will the community be informed of the pros and cons of it?” she asked at the meeting. “Who is responsible for disseminating that information?” Trustee Lori McCue suggested that at one of the upcoming budget meetings, the board give the factual information and discuss how, if this proposition is successful, the members would be dwindled down from nine to seven.

Sex offenders to start dropping off registry By Elana Glowatz

Suffolk County is entering obscure territory this year as some sex offenders drop off the state registry and others have lost restrictions on where they can live. It was one year ago that the New York State Court of Appeals ruled that local laws restricting where sex offenders could live were invalid, following a lawsuit from a registered offender from Nassau County who challenged his own government’s rule that prohibited him from living within 1,000 feet from a school. Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. wrote in his decision that “a local government’s police power is not absolute” and is pre-empted by state law. State regulations already prohibit certain sex offenders who are on parole or probation from living within 1,000 feet of a school or other child care facility, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, but the local laws went further. In Suffolk County, Chapter 745 made it illegal for all registered sex offenders — not just those on parole or probation — to live within a quarter mile of schools, day care centers, playgrounds or their victims. But following Pigott’s decision, that law, while still technically on

the books, is no longer enforceable. To make matters more complicated, Jan. 1 marked the beginning of the end for some of the lowest level sex offenders on the state registry. Offenders are grouped into one of three levels based on their perceived risk of committing another sex crime. On the lowest rung, Level 1 offenders who have not received special designations for being violent, being repeat offenders or having a “mental abnormality or personality disorder” that makes the person “likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses,” according to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, are only included on the registry for 20 years from their conviction. The New York State correction law enacting that system has just turned 20 years old, meaning the earliest offenders added to the registry are beginning to drop off. The Sex Offender Registration Act obligates Level 2 and Level 3 offenders, as well as those with the additional designations, to remain on the registry for life, although there is a provision under which certain Level 2 offenders can appeal to be removed after a period of 30 years. At a recent civic association meeting in

laura ahearn has advocated for local governments to have the power to regulate where registered sex offenders live.

Port Jefferson Station, Laura Ahearn from the advocacy group Parents for Megan’s Law — which raises awareness about sex crime issues and monitors offenders — gave examples of offenders set to come off the registry this year, including a man who raped a 4-year-old girl, and another who raped and sodomized a woman. But it doesn’t stop there. “It is thousands over time that are going to drop off,” Ahearn said.

A database search of Level 1 offenders along the North Shore of Suffolk County turned up many offenders who had been convicted of statutory rape or possession of child pornography, and who had served little to no time in jail. However, there were more serious offenses as well. Some of the undesignated Level 1 offenders who were convicted shortly after the Sex Offender Registration Act was SEX OFFENDERS continued on page A7

Duo saves Eaton’s Neck woman from house fire By Elana Glowatz & Victoria Espinoza

An officer and a good Samaritan from Kings Park rescued an elderly woman from a burning home in Eaton’s Neck on Feb. 10, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. The 2nd Precinct’s Matthew Funaro responded to the house fire on Old Winkle Point Road in Eaton’s Neck at 4:45 p.m. to find flames and heavy smoke coming from the second floor, police said. He went inside and found 88-year-old Helen Morris, who was in a wheelchair, in the first-floor living room. With help from 55-year-old oil technician and Kings Park resident Joseph Cartelli, who had been working in the home, Funaro carried Morris out to safety, police said. She was then transported to Huntington Hospital by the Eaton’s Neck Rescue Squad and treated

for minor, non-life-threatening injuries, Eaton’s Neck Assistant Fire Chief Richard Rizzuti said. According to Rizzuti, the Eaton’s Neck and Northport fire departments worked together to put out the blaze at the house, which is located just off Northport Bay. “It was challenging because of the terrain,” Rizzuti said in a phone interview. “There were 30 winding steps down to her house because her property is located at the beach level.” Rizzuti said it took a while to get a specialty hose line set up because of the landscape, but by 6:15 p.m., the fire was completely out. He also said they battled a content fire due to the fact that only the bed and comforters went up in flames and none of the structural parts of the house. Detectives from the SCPD’s Arson Squad were investigating the cause of the fire, police said.

Huntington native is getting folksy with it By alEx pEtroski

Huntington High School graduate Kirsten Maxwell, 23, was like all other high school students at the end of her senior year. When she graduated in 2010, the singer-songwriter didn’t know what she’d pursue at SUNY Potsdam in the fall. “Both of my parents majored in music, but it didn’t occur to me that that was a path,” Maxwell said in a phone interview. Her high school music teacher, Jason Giachetti, encouraged Maxwell to capitalize on her musical talent for a career. She said Giachetti helped her put together a repertoire of songs and gave her music theory lessons every day at 7 a.m. The hard work put into her foundation has paid off. After graduating from SUNY Geneseo in 2014 with a creative writing degree, she was a winner at the annual South Florida Folk Festival Singer-Songwriter competition in Fort Lauderdale in January. That win may not come as a surprise to those familiar with her abilities. Giachetti, who is in his 16th year at Huntington High School, said he heard Maxwell sing for the first time during a vocal contest. Maxwell was in the chorus, but he said he didn’t know how talented she was until then, and told her she had to pursue a career in music. “I’m just unbelievably proud of her,” Giachetti said in a phone interview. “For an educator of any sort, seeing one of

their students really follow their dreams, it’s a dream come true.” Maxwell’s path to a music career began long before high school, however. Her mother was an opera singer and her father was a conductor, and Maxwell said she grew up singing. When she was 12, she learned how to play the guitar and started writing some of her own songs.

“I’ve been writing ever since,” Maxwell said. She released her first album, entitled “Crimson,” independently in 2015. The album was part of a “healing process” following a particular relationship, she said, and its tone has a distinctive contemporary folk sound. She is touted on her website as the “love child” of “Joni Mitchell and Gordon

Lightfoot … raised with the help of godmothers Judy Collins and Maria Muldaur.” In her quest to make a living out of music, Maxwell said she’ll define her success by being not only financially stable, but also by being mentioned in the same breath as some of the iconic 1960s folksinging women. “Things have changed, but I’d love to have the kind of career and image and respect that they’ve gained over the years,” she said. Those who have heard her don’t hesitate to heap praise on the up-and-coming artist and her talent. Jon Stein, who hosts a folk music-focused podcast called “The Hootenanny Cafe,” is a fan of Maxwell, according to her website. “I never thought I’d ever hear a voice as angelic and mesmerizing as I did when I first listened to Joan Baez some 50 years ago, but then I heard the voice, songs and melodies of Kirsten Maxwell,” Stein said. Maxwell credits her upbringing in Huntington as building a foundation for her music career, and now she will get to perform for the community that raised her. She is slated to perform a live show at the Huntington Public Library on March 25. “It’s definitely significant in the fact that I have sort of a hometown pride and connection, growing up [and] being in the area,” she said.

superintendent Diana todaro speaks during the budget presentation on Feb. 10.

One is what he described as the simple rollover budget, which would require less than 0.5 percent of an increase in the tax cap and bring the total budget to $81,633,862. “But what if we add some mandates?” Ianni asked during the presentation. The district presented a potential budget that included mandates like an additional librarian, AIS teacher and an English as a New Language teacher, which would bring the budget to $81,833,862 and a tax levy increase of 1.17 percent. Ianni said the third possible scenario is the most costly because of additions

like $600,000 for full-day kindergarten, $20,000 for a teacher’s assistant testing room and anywhere from $100,000 to $150,00 for a BOCES cultural arts program. The total here brings the budget to about $82.7 million, and would bring the tax levy cap to 2.57 percent. Ianni said the district has not made any decisions yet as to which budget they would pursue, and would continue to discuss options at various workshops and community forums over the coming weeks. The next budget workshop is scheduled for Saturday, March 5, at 9 a.m.

Movers & Shakers

Basketball coach sticks to his roots for success BY VICTORIA ESPINOZA

Head coach Andrew D’Eloia has brought the Northport boy’s basketball team to its first undefeated season. D’Eloia is in his fourth year as head coach, but he is no stranger to the halls and basketball courts at Northport High School. He graduated from Northport in 1991 and played

as point guard for the boy’s basketball team. “I’m extremely familiar with the district,” D’Eloia said in a phone interview. “I wanted to be able to give back to the community. The Northport High School basketball team did a lot for me, to help me develop — it taught me discipline, teamwork and investing in a common goal.” D’Eloia now lives in Hunting-

SEX OFFENDERS Continued from page A3

created include a Smithtown man, now 43, convicted of first-degree sexual abuse against a 19-year-old; a 61-yearold Rocky Point man who sexually abused a 12-year-old girl more than once; a Huntington man, now 40, who sexually abused an 11-year-old; and a Rocky Point man convicted of incest with a 17-year-old. Ahearn’s group has argued that sex offenders are more likely to reoffend as time goes on. According to Parents for Megan’s Law, recidivism rates are estimated to be 14 percent after five years and 27 percent after 20 years. One midnight in January, Suffolk County police arrested a 48-year-old man, later discovered to be a registered

ton with his family and owns AD Hoops Training, a basketball training business in Brooklyn. Before coming back to Northport, he worked as an assistant coach at various institutions including Hunter College in Manhattan and Bishop Ford Central Catholic High School in Brooklyn. He was then offered the assistant coach job at Northport High School and D’Eloia jumped at the opportunity. After a year as assistant coach, D’Eloia became head coach, and while he said he didn’t want to bring any major changes to the team, he did want to implement some new focus points. Among his ideas, he said he wanted to encourage the boys to set up a plan for the off-season, to stay in the best shape they could. He said he believes this helped the team’s bond become even stronger. “The team chemistry is phenomenal,” he said. “This is one of the best teams I’ve been around in terms of the element of camaraderie, and it’s one of the most unselfish groups as well.” Since taking over as head coach in 2012, the boy’s record is 72-14, they have won 18 playoff games and made it to the Suffolk County final four all four years. In 2013, the boy’s made it all the way to the state semifinals but fell to New Rochelle.

Level 1 sex offender, in Fort Salonga after the suspect was allegedly caught undressed inside a vehicle with a 14-yearold boy. Police reported at the time that the two arranged the meeting over a cellphone application and there had been sexual contact. The man had been convicted of sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old girl in 2003 and was sentenced to six years of probation. His new charges included criminal sex act and endangering the welfare of a child. “So it makes no sense logically” to let Level 1 offenders drop off the registry after 20 years, Ahearn said in Port Jefferson Station. She has advocated for the terms to be extended or to have offenders appeal to be removed from the registry, like Level 2 offenders can after 30 years, so it can be decided on a case-by-case basis. It’s a “you-know-it-when-you-see-it

Left, a Northport player jumps for a ball. Above, head coach Andrew D’Eloia speaks to his team during a game.

This was the first year since 1995 that the team has gone undefeated in the league, and D’Eloia credited that to the work of the entire team. “They are coachable and they do right both on and off the court,” he said. “This is a team in every sense of the word.” The head coach said that not

kind of thing, because you know when an adult man or an adult woman rapes a 4-year-old, that is just shocking,” she said. “That [should be] a lifetime registration.” Even if the offenders remain on the registry, the court ruling that struck down restrictions on where most offenders can live has made matters trickier. Ahearn said the fact that multiple layers of local government had enacted restrictions contributed to the situation. “What happened is it got out of control,” she said. Below the Suffolk County level, for example, the Town of Brookhaven had its own restrictions that prohibited offenders from living within a quarter mile of schools, playgrounds or parks. There are bills floating around the state government that would tighten restrictions on where certain sex offenders could live, but the only one that has

only are the starting players key to the success of this season but also the supporting players, who have worked well to “conserve small minutes.” Looking forward, D’Eloia said he hopes his team will continue to play at the highest level possible at every game and go as far as they can in the playoffs.

gained traction is a bill state Sen. Michael Venditto (R-Massapequa) sponsored along with state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) that would return to local governments the power to regulate where offenders can reside. “Local laws designed to protect children against registered sex offenders are enacted in response to unique conditions and concerns of specific communities and should act in complement with existing state law,” the bill’s summary read. Although the bill passed the Senate last year, it died in the Assembly. But Venditto reintroduced his proposal this year. For more information about sex offender laws or to search for sex offenders in a specific neighborhood, visit the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services at www.criminaljustice.ny.gov or the Parents for Megan’s Law group at www.parentsformeganslaw.org.

OPINION EDITORIAL

State should carry the torch

Laws governing sex offenders have turned a corner over the last year. County and town governments recently lost the authority to regulate where registered sex offenders are allowed to live. That power now rests solely with New York State, which only limits offenders on parole or probation. While we appreciate the good intention behind one state senator’s bill to let local governments enact their own residency restrictions, it is not ideal. Part of the reason the local municipalities’ authority was overturned in the New York State Court of Appeals last year is that there were too many layers of restrictions. In just our area alone, both Suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven had their own separate restrictions on where registered sex offenders could reside in their jurisdictions. There should be laws that prevent sex offenders from living within certain distances from schools or their victims, but allowing each county, town or village to decide on their own creates a mishmash of rules that are nearly impossible to follow. When this is the process, there are counties and towns next door to one

New York State should establish uniform rules for where registered sex offenders can live, with an eye on distances from their victims as well as schools and playgrounds like the one above.

another, or even overlapping, with different rules. That makes it more difficult for sex offenders to comply, and it would benefit us all if offenders are more able to actually comply with the laws we have enacted. wIn addition, clean-cut laws that are easy to identify, and thus follow, would also likely bring peace of mind to their victims, who deserve to feel safe.

The onus should be on the state to design more comprehensive restrictions on where registered sex offenders can live. That system should include required distances from victims’ homes and places of employment, as well as schools, playgrounds and other places where children gather. And the regulations should vary slightly based upon a community’s density, so as not to treat

urban, suburban and rural areas as if they are the same. Although more state regulation is not always an appealing idea, this is one of those cases when we need the state to intervene, in order to make enforcement more uniform. And it is an important issue, because it has an immediate impact on our children and on the sex crime victims we have a moral responsibility to protect.

George Washington, an unlikely whiskey baron

Between you and me By Leah S. Dunaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

his past Monday was Presidents Day, and we might have been thinking of our great presidents, if we were thinking of them at all in the midst of a vacation day, as being larger than life. However,

in a recent biography of George Washington, Ron Chernow tells us that for all the 8,000 acres of splendid estate and many slaves to work the property, Washington when he retired from the presidency in 1797, was hard up for cash. Financial pressure was “unrelenting.” I don’t know about you, but to me that makes him a more human founding father, one almost every business person and resident can identify with. So what did the father of our country do? He looked around his farmland for a new profit source, one that would supply cash rather quickly, and came up with the idea of making whiskey. It was not, The New York Times tells us in a recent article, his idea alone. His new plantation manager, James

Anderson, was a Scotsman and distiller. Mount Vernon had plenty of rye and together with what Washington called “Indian corn” and a still, they were able to make ample supplies of whiskey. Now this is not how we usually think of our first president, the guy who chopped down the cherry tree and the president who sent militiamen to quash the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania when local distillers revolted against a federally imposed whiskey tax. Washington was aware of his image problem but, entrepreneur that he needed to be, he became something of a whiskey baron. In the first full year of operation, almost 11,000 gallons were produced and the whiskey earned a profit equivalent

to some $142,000 in today’s dollars. A distillery was built that was one of the largest of the time. Washington blamed his new success on Anderson, unwilling to take personal credit. The distillery was rebuilt after tours of Mount Vernon began and can be viewed by the many visitors to the estate each year. The old recipe is still used when samples are handed out. Washington did enjoy alcohol, favoring “sweet wines, rum punch and whiskey,” but his reputation for alcohol in moderation was established by his stern action toward his troops when they became drunk and his reluctance to pass out drinks when he ran the first time for election to the Virginia House of Burgesses. His opponent did and duly won. A quick LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia

Now this is not how we think of our first president. study, Washington did so the next time he ran, and this time he was successful. Unfortunately for Washington, he was not able to realize a growing success from his whiskey efforts. In 1799, the second full year of production, he died at the age of 67. He willed the distillery to a granddaughter of his wife Martha, but a fire destroyed the operation in 1814. Only relatively recently has this chapter in Washington’s life become widely known, and it adds a colorful dimension to the man and his myth.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

North Shore hero: Veteran keeps giving back By rich acritElli

To say that Long Island native Butch Langhorn has lived a full life would be an understatement. As a veteran and a community man, he has both seen a lot and given a lot back to the county that raised him. From his youth, Langhorn was a gifted three-sport athlete, excelling in football, basketball and track for Riverhead High School. His impact was so great that he held the record for the triple jump for 10 years after his graduation. In 1964, the young man enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Totten in Bayside, Queens. While he worked in the personnel office, his sporting abilities allowed him the chance to

play basketball within the Special Services of the Army. Langhorn competed as a 5-foot-8-inch guard against many who had experience playing semiprofessional and Division I hoops. The servicemen competing had the rare opportunity of representing their military bases in games that ranged from Maine to New Jersey. The next year, Langhorn was deployed to South Vietnam, where he saw the earliest action of the war in Southeast Asia. In an interview, he noted the beauty of the nation and the influence of French culture on the former capital of Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City. For a couple of months, Langhorn was a gunner on a helicopter that flew into the major combat areas of South Vietnam, engaged against the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong. He was tasked with helping medical evacuation crews with the vital mission of returning wounded and dead U.S. soldiers to American bases. As a young African-American soldier during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, Langhorn observed the treatment of blacks in South Vietnam. According to Langhorn, he had a relationship with a local woman of French descent who took him home to meet her family. When he met her mother, the woman told him to shower and take a nap before dinner. Again he came into her presence and she wrongly believed that he was a white soldier who had too much dirt on his skin. It was one example of a different racial experience for Langhorn — he quickly learned that most of the black soldiers who were fighting against the communists in South Vietnam were not understood by the very people they were trying to protect. After more than a year overseas, Langhorn went home to finish his Army tour. By 1971, he quickly re-enlisted as an active guardsmen reservist, serving

full-time for the New York 106th Air National Guard base in Westhampton Beach. For many years, he was the head of the recruiting station that brought in many fine airmen, noncommissioned officers and officers. Langhorn had a prideful hand in signing military members from different backgrounds to enhance the Air Force wing. Many of the men and women he recruited have been deployed to the Middle East to fight the war on terror, conducted massive air-sea rescues in the Atlantic Ocean, endured the rigors of the elite pararescue jumper training and deployments, and tackled the older mission of aiding space shuttle landings. Langhorn later oversaw the personnel department that was responsible for sorting out the paperwork needs of the military unit. Langhorn may be retired after serving four decades in uniform, but he is still

a dominant member of his community and has spent a lot of that time trying to help young people. He served on the Riverhead Central School District Board of Education for five years, working to keep athletics and other programs in the schools, and as a current assistant for the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, he organizes educational programs that bring high school criminal justice students to visit the county jail. In his role, he also helps guide nonprofit groups that are focused on rehabilitating inmates. In addition, former Congressmen Michael Forbes and Tim Bishop both recognized Langhorn’s professionalism, and he served as an instrumental member of their staffs to handle veterans affairs. Since his youth, this North Shore citizen has given back to his society and to his nation. TBR Newspapers salutes him during Black History Month.

Love is a marathon By Victoria Espinoza

Love was in the air at Huntington Town Hall this past weekend as couples filed in all day for a marriage marathon. For the past 21 years, Town Clerk JoAnn Raia has been hosting this event on Valentine’s Day, where she performs marriage ceremonies and vow renewals for couples who are also treated to a small celebration with gifts, desserts and flowers donated from local vendors. “In 1995, I thought it would be romantic to begin a Valentine’s Day marriage ceremony marathon,” Raia said in a statement. “It is a privilege and a pleasure for me to unite these couples and to share in their happiness as they embark

on their new lives together.” The ceremony has gained popularity over the years, and this year one couple came all the way from Brooklyn and Westbury to say, “I do.” Andre Shakeem Williams, from Westbury, said he came to Town Hall to do some paperwork when he saw the flyer for this event. “He came home with the flyer and said, ‘Would you be interested in this?’ and I said ‘Sure, let’s do it,’ and here we are,” Shantell Bennett Williams, of Brooklyn, said after the ceremony. “We said ‘We’ll do something small now, and then something big later.’” Local couple Lisa Locker Marshall and John Paul Marshall came from East

Tornadoes head to Class A finals on Friday Girls’ BasketBall

Game 1

Game 2

By Bill landon

the Mustangs left the lane opened for Harborfields sophomore guard Erin Tucker, who netted four field goals and a free throw to add nine more points to the Tornadoes’ 31-17 halftime advantage. “We always play Mount Sinai in other sports, so we know not to underestimate them, and they came out very strong in the first quarter,” Tucker said. “It’s what we expected. They had a tough second quarter, but we knew they’d come back.” Three-pointers were flying to open the third quarter, as de Borja banked a pair and Mount Sinai junior guard Victoria Johnson swished her second and third of the game, but still, the Tornadoes edged ahead 43-28 to begin the final quarter. The Mustangs opened the last eight minutes with two fast breaks that paid dividends for Johnson, who was fouled while shooting and calmly swished both. The back end marked the 1,000th point of her varsity career. She’s the first girls’ basketball player in school history to reach that feat. “They’re really tough on defense,” Johnson said of Harborfields. “We ran on them because they’re a very fast team and they were going to try to stop us in the middle. We had one rough quarter, but we gave it our best. We’re a young team so we’ll make a run next year.” Tucker netted two more points at the free-throw line for the Tornadoes, to again make it an 11-point game. Mount Sinai inbounded the ball, throwing it the length of the court, where freshman guard Margaret Kopcienski gained possession and, with a spin move, found the rim to trim the deficit back to nine points. Mount Sinai junior center Veronica Venezia made her presence known down low as she muscled her way to the rim on a put-back to help her team trail by seven with 1:41 left in the game, but the Mustangs would not come any closer. “The second quarter is where we got hurt, but we’re graduating two seniors and we’re returning 12 — including all five starters — so we’re looking forward to the off-season,” Mount Sinai head coach Michael Pappa-

The Mustangs rallied to close within seven points with just over two minutes left in the game, but the Tornadoes’ girls’ basketball team closed with a late surge of its own, to claim a 59-47 victory in the opening round of the Class A playoffs Saturday morning. Mount Sinai led 13-12 after eight minutes but managed just four points to Harborfields’ 19 in the second. Harborfields point guard Christiana de Borja had the hot hand through the first half, as she drove the lane and muscled her way to the rim, drawing fouls along the way. The five-foot, two-inch junior tallied 13 points over the two quarters. As Mount Sinai double-teamed de Borja,

lardo said. “[Harborfields has] great players, and to be with them in the final minutes makes me proud of our team.” In a foul-riddled final minute, both teams traded points at the charity stripe. Mount Sinai’s Gabby Sartori went to the line shooting three, and the ninth-grade guard swished all of her opportunities. With six seconds left, de Borja, who led her team in scoring with 23 points, put the final points on the scoreboard off of free throws. Tucker finished with 12 points. “They spotted us 22 points, and we knew they would come back because they have a lot of talented players, but I thought our kids had the resolve to make the big plays to stop those runs,” Harborfields head coach Glenn Lavey said. “Any time we see trouble we get the ball to Christiana de Borja, and having her on the floor is like a security blanket. As much as they were cutting into our lead, I knew we had Chris de Borja on the court.” In the game against Elwood-John Glenn, junior center Grace Zagaja’s layup with 2:30 left gave the Tornadoes a 51-37 lead. Zagaja finished the game with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Senior forward Falyn Dwyer scored eight of her 12 points and senior

guard Angela Deren hit two 3-pointers in a 19-9 third quarter. Harborfields will take on No. 2 Islip in the Class A finals on Friday at 8 p.m. at Suffolk County Community College in Selden.
