Local teams hoop it up

So, after all the smoke from sectionals and regional semifinals has cleared, we're down to three local basketball teams a win away from the state final four.

Kingston is looking for its third straight trip to the Class AA girls semifinals, while Coleman is looking for its second straight final four berth in Class D. The Coleman boys, meanwhile, will take their third straight stab at reaching the Class D semis.

I actually think the locals are going to go 3-for-3 here.

For the Coleman boys, who are facing Greenport again in the regional final, I'm just going to go with the third time is the charm. With their sectional wins you can see the Statesmen getting better and better. Greenport is powerful, no doubt, but with the rising play of Jake Palmer, Conor Maisch and Eric Boesch, this Coleman team has its best chance of reaching Glens Falls.

The Kingston girls, looking for their third straight trip to Troy, are battle-tested and balanced. Rachel Coffey makes the team go, but Charlise Castro, Keyana Williams, Kelly Kell and Courtney Greenway, along with a strong bench are more than enough to beat a talented Mount Vernon team that captured its first Section 1 title in 26 years.

The Coleman girls, too, are on a mission. Just a win away from a state title last year, this veteran Stateswomen squad is poised to take that final step in getting that crown. Facing a Shelter Island squad that Coleman beat easily last year, another state berth is well within their reach.

It should make for an interesting weekend for the locals.
