On April 20th, Mt. Sinai will travel to Bayport Blue Point for an all out war, to determine who rules Suffolk County Class C. The last time BBP was able to claim victory against the Mustangs was in 2014, the County Final game. However for the past three seasons, Mt. Sinai has been crowned ruler of New York State Class C, winning three consecutive Championships. Who will have the edge in 2018?
“Clear eyes and full hearts don’t lose,” the Mt. Sinai Mustangs go into every game ready to battle. A “warrior” attitude, Coach Bertolone prepares his girls to fight with grit, never surrendering. “The perfect storm,” Mt. Sinai returns a heavy starting lineup including attack trio sr. Meaghan Tyrrell (Syracuse), sr. Camryn Harloff (Stony Brook) and jr. Morgan Mitchell (Stony Brook), defensive duo sr. Meaghan Scaturo (Notre Dame) and sr. Kirsten Scaturo (Notre Dame) and midfield standout jr. Emma Tyrell (Syracuse).
Up for the challenge, the Phantom’s of Bayport Blue Point look to scare opponents off the field. With a great start to the season, they are once again ready to face another challenging opponent. A mix of talent in all ages, BBP is led by seniors Courtney Weeks (BC), Cassidy Weeks (BC), and Katelyn Eames (High Point), with contributors including juniors Madison Grazidei, Brooke Sparacio (Quinnipiac) and Meghan Pickel (Stony Brook) and sophomores Madison Waters (USC) and Ailish Kelly. This is a squad that is all about preparing and dissecting teams. Coach Gick wants his girls to “understand situations,” and be able to make adjustments on the fly in order to give his squad the upper hand.
A long lasting battle, this Class C Crusade will prove to be a glorious game. Although BBP is extremely talented, starting with the Weeks sisters, I believe the Mustangs will have the upper hand, as this is a squad that is very senior heavy as well as extremely experienced in big time games.
