I just returned from Eastchester’s 68-64 win over Tuckahoe at Eastchester. Both teams had some pretty impressive individual scoring performances. Eastchester’s Mickey Abbatiello scored 30 points for the Eagles including his 1,000th point. Tuckahoe’s Robert Johnson scored a game-high 43 points. Here are my thoughts on the game:

Here are my thoughts on the big Class B showdown at Lincoln Hall on Tuesday against sectional champion Briarcliff.

The Bears, who were down by 12 with four minutes left in the third quarter, came back to pull out a 78-69 win.

Boys basketball: Memorable day at Peekskill

On a day in which the court at Peekskill High School was named in his honor, 25th-year Peekskill coach Lou Panzanaro guided the Red Devils to a 53-37 win over St. AnthonyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s (6-4).

Mookie Jones led Peekskill (10-0) with 19 points, six rebounds and seven blocks. Junior Darien Thomas chipped in 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Red Devils suffered injuries to two of their starters. Senior captain Elliot Wastson went down with a left ankle injury and sophomore point guard Daquan Brickhouse sustained a right ankle injury.

From the first opening minute, you could tell that the Friars were overmatched both in talent, depth and athleticism.
