Hoop-ing it up

If you like girls basketball, then tonight is for you.

Along with many great area games, three kind of standout for different reasons.

1) Middletown at Kingston: Anytime you can see the No. 1 girls basketball team in the state is a treat. Add watching two of the premier players in the area -- Rachel Coffey and Charlise Castro -- and Kate Walton should be a fun place.

2) Spackenkill at Onteora: Julia Hinchey is seven points shy of 1,000 for her career. Only three others have eclipsed that mark, so history will be in the making.

3) Millbrook at Coleman: The Stateswomen raise the banner for last year's Class D state championship and, by the way, Coleman is still the top-ranked team in D in the state this season.

Should make for a fun Friday.
