NYSPHSAA Girl's Basketball Championships




As a girl's basketball varsity coach myself, I've always taken the family to Hudson Valley Community College each March to watch the state championship games. I've watched many great players and teams over the years. This year I decided to take the cameras for the first time and shoot some of the games. It was pretty exciting being right under the basket at the games. Being this close really gives you a feel for how athletic and physical these teams are.

This year Section V had two state champions in Nazareth (Class C) and Newark (Class B). The picture above was from the wanning moments of the Newark championship game. Newark was clinging onto a slim lead and they had a player on the foul line. The players on the bench were pretty intense waiting for the results of a vital foul shot.
