DIVISION 2

CHAMPIONSHIP

RYE 5 JOHN JAY 1 BREWSTER ICE ARENA

3/1/20

Game Notes: • Anabelle Thomas had 26 saves for Rye • Declan Lavelle led all scorers with 2 goals • Rye will play either Skaneateles or Whitesboro on 3/7 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor The Rye hockey team might have come into Sunday’s Division 2 Section I championship game as the lower seeded squad, but someone failed to tell the Garnets’ skaters that they were, in fact, the underdog. On March

1, No. 2 Rye dominated top-seeded defending champion John Jay for three periods, knocking the Indians from their perch atop the Division 2 landscape and claiming the program’s first Section I title since 2010. Things got off to an inauspicious start for Rye on Sunday, as John Jay’s Mattie Wierl opened the scoring just over three minutes into the game. But Rye reestablished momentum before the end of the period, outshooting the Indians 13-6 and knotting the score on a backhand shot from Reece Dorfman. “Their first goal was kind of lucky, it was off a deflection,” Rye goaltender Anabelle Thomas said. “But it was a wakeup call, that’s where we said, ‘This is a section championship game and we’re going to have to fight.’” That fighting spirit was evident as Rye began to take control on the offensive end. Declan Lavelle finished with two goals and an

assist, while Sasha Vasyuta and Brendan O’Byrne both added to the Garnets’ final tally. Thomas finished with 26 saves on the afternoon, earning high praise from senior defenseman Emmet Carroll. Between Rye’s victories in the semifinal and championship rounds, Thomas allowed just two goals on 52 chances. “This whole season she’s been our rock, she’s kept us in it, and she’s the best player on this team,” Carroll said. “Between her and Declan, that’s a good competition for best player on this team.” Carroll explained that Sunday’s win was especially poignant for the team’s veterans, given how the Garnets’ season ended just one year ago. In 2019, Rye lost its semifinal round contest against Pelham 4-3 when the Pelicans were able to score two goals in the final 26.5 seconds of regulation. “I’m just in disbelief, with

what happened last year in that last second loss against Pelham,” Carroll said. “This is what we’ve been working for the whole way and this moment has been on our mind the entire season.” Rye will represent Section I in the New York State Tournament, and their first test will be taking on the loser of the Section III title game between Skaneateles and Whitesboro on March 7 at the Brewster Ice Arena. According to Carroll, the celebratory period of Sunday’s win will be short-lived as the Garnets get set to prepare for their next challenge. “We’ll enjoy it on the bus ride home, we’ll enjoy it tonight with our families and each other, and we’ll just get back to work in practice tomorrow,” he said. “For us seniors, we don’t want to stop playing, so this is a great accomplishment, but we’re not done yet.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

A New Rochelle man has been confirmed as being positive for the second case of the novel coronavirus in New York State, and also the first known case in Westchester County. The man, who is in his 50s, is now hospitalized in Manhattan after first being transported by a neighbor to New York-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville. The man, identified as an attorney who works in Manhattan, has an underlying respiratory illness, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and is in critical condition.He recently traveled to Miami, but no direct connection to China or any country on the virus watch list has been established, making it an apparent case of “community spread” COVID-19, Cuomo said. “That kind of spreading is inevitable,” Cuomo said at a March 3 press conference. The Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy school in Riverdale, where one of the New Rochelle man’s children attends, is closed on Wednesday, Cuomo said. “There may be some more schools that voluntarily close as they determine if children may have exposed other children,” Cuomo said. And on March 3, at the direction of the state, county Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler directed that Young Israel in New Rochelle halt all services immediately and for the foreseeable future due to potential COVID-19

exposure connected to the man who tested positive today. Additionally, congregants of the temple who attended services on Feb. 22, and a funeral and a bat mitzvah at the temple on Feb. 23 must self-quarantine until at the very earliest March 8. Those who do not self-quarantine will be mandated to by the county Department of Health to do so. The novel virus’ first confirmed case in the state was reported on Sunday, March 1, by a 39-year-old Manhattan woman who is employed as a healthcare worker. The woman contracted the virus while traveling abroad in Iran, and is currently isolated in her home, along with her husband. “Her symptoms are mild,” Cuomo said. Her condition is not life-threatening and she has self-quarantined at her Manhattan home since returning from Iran, authorities said. Cuomo noted that about 80 percent of those who contract the novel coronavirus will self-resolve. “They may not even know they had the illness,” Cuomo said. “There is no reason for undue anxiety—the general risk remains low in New York. We are diligently managing this situation and will continue to provide information as it becomes available,” Cuomo added. (Submitted) FOR MORE see page 3

Important facts about the novel coronavirus Am I likely to become infected with COVID-19? While there are known cases of COVID-19 in New York State, including Westchester County, the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 remains low. If widespread cases were to occur in our area, most people are likely to experience mild to moderate disease with full recovery. In addition to staying informed, you can reduce your risk of becoming infected by taking proper prevention measures similar to what is recommended to avoid the common cold and flu. What is a coronavirus? Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that can cause either mild illness, such as a cold, or can make people sick with pneumonia. What is a novel coronavirus? A novel coronavirus is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. Recently, a novel (new) coronavirus called COVID-19 was

detected in thousands of people worldwide, primarily in China. Multiple cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the U.S. and it is expected that more cases of COVID-19 will be identified in the future. For the most recent case information, visit the Centers for Disease Control, CDC, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Summary webpage.

bly be inhaled into the lungs. What are the symptoms of COVID-19? The most common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

How is COVID-19 spread? Many of the initial patients with COVID-19 in China had links to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. However, cases being reported at this time have been occurring through person-to-person spread. The virus is thought to spread mainly: •Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possi-

What should I do if I (or someone I know) traveled to an area where COVID-19 is spreading? Anyone who has traveled to a CDC Level 3 destination (one that is experiencing widespread sustained transmission of COVID-19) should self-quarantine at home for 14 days following their return. For the most recent travel alerts, visit the CDC Coronoavirus Disease 2019 Information for Travel webpage. You should monitor your symptoms and call your healthcare provider if you feel sick with fever, cough or have difficulty breathing. If you need to go to your doctor’s office or

an emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms. The same precautions should be taken if you have been in close contact with someone who has confirmed COVID-19. You should also avoid contact with others. Who can be tested for COVID-19? New York State is now able to perform testing for COVID-19. All testing performed on patients in Westchester County must be approved by the county Department of Health. The CDC has developed specific criteria for who can be tested for COVID-19. As the situation evolves, the criteria may change. For the most current testing criteria, visit the CDC Evaluating and Reporting Persons Under Investigation webpage. Is there a vaccine or treatment for COVID-19? There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. There is also no specific

treatment for COVID-19 disease at this time. However, most people will recover on their own after resting and drinking plenty of fluids. To relieve symptoms, people with the virus can take pain and fever medication, use a room humidifier or take hot showers to help ease a sore throat and cough. What can I do to protect myself? You should go about your daily life, but take the same precautions that you would during cold and flu season: • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. • Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or a tissue (not your hands), then throw the tissue in the trash. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. • Stay home when you are sick. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched

objects and surfaces using a cleaning product that contains bleach Will wearing a surgical mask protect me from COVID-19? Surgical masks do not protect the person wearing the mask from infection with COVID-19. Surgical masks should only be worn by people showing symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of disease to others. In addition, N95 respirator masks are not recommended for the general public and should only be worn by healthcare workers who have been properly fitted for them. Should I travel during the COVID-19 outbreak? If you are planning to travel, visit the CDC Coronavirus Disease 2019 Information for Travel webpage for the latest travel advisories related to COVID-19

By Andy Landorf & John Colquhoun

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

Standing at center court with former Section One champions Lowes Moore (Mount Vernon), Patrice Wallace-Moore (Mount Vernon), Dr. Jim Bostic (Charles E. Gorton High School), Bill Pleas (Mount Vernon) and Stefanie Svoboda (Ossining), County Executive George Latimer welcomed the return of the Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball semifinals and finals to their rightful home—the iconic Westchester County Center. This press conference marked the return to the County Center for the finals of this tournament after a two year hiatus. Section One had hosted the finals at the County Center since 1933. “For the sake of the players, parents, coaches and fans, this is where this tournament should be,” said Latimer, a native of Mount Vernon. “The discipline of learning a sport like basketball, and the lessons learned within it, are lessons learned for the rest of a player’s life. Many of the players who played on this court went on to be successful, in all walks of life, thanks to those lessons. Many Westchester communities will be represented at this tournament— and that is what makes this place come alive—the competition and sense of accomplishment.” Moore, who presented the county executive with a Mount

Vernon Knights basketball shirt, said, “Every time I come into the County Center, I get a flashback. I was a 10 or 11 year old kid who played recreation and dreamed of playing here. I got that chance at Mount Vernon High School when we won championships on ‘The Big Floor.’ For me, this is a family thing, my wife and daughters won championships here. This is our home away from home.” Bostic said, “Coming back

here to the County Center is such an incredible experience. Growing up in the City of Yonkers, playing basketball all my life, we played ball in Yonkers but never left our city. The thought of being a high school player and playing at the County Center was like dying and going to heaven. I salute Section One, the Parks Department, and of course, the County Executive for making this a reality for these young folks. Fifty

years later, I can still remember the night I won a championship here.” Wallace-Moore said, “I am excited to be able to support all of the teams coming back here to the County Center. There is nothing better than being here on this Court. This is Westchester’s Madison Square Garden and we are looking forward to seeing more great things.” Pleas, who Latimer watched

play in high school, said, “I coach kids at the Mount Vernon Boys’ and Girls’ Club—and I always tell them ‘if you don’t limit yourself you can play [at the County Center one day]’ and I hope to motivate them to get to this place like I was able to.” The Section One basketball boys’ and girls’ semi-finals and finals begin on March 2, and run through Sunday, March 8.

County Executive George Latimer on Monday, March 2 announced a series of senior programs taking place throughout Westchester as part of National Nutrition Month. Focused on the theme “Eating Right Bite by Bite,” the program promotes eating a variety of nutritious foods every day, planning and creating healthy meals each week, and the value of consulting a registered dietitian nutritionist.

County Department of Senior Programs and Services, DSPS. “Each day we have the power to make healthier food choices,” Latimer said. “Even small changes over time will help improve our health. I encourage seniors to join us, have some fun, and learn more about how to eat better and live better.” National Nutrition Month is an annual education and information campaign presented by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Its

purpose is to focus attention on the importance of making informed food choices, and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

County police seize 4 kilos of illegal narcotics

The alleged heroin, cash and backpack seized on March 2 near Central Park Avenue in Yonkers.

Westchester County police arrested four persons and seized four kilos of illegal narcotics on March 2 following a vehicle and foot pursuit in the city of Yonkers. About 1 p.m., the Real Time Crime Center at county police headquarters reported that a black Mercedes Benz, which was wanted in connection with a shooting investigation in New York City, was traveling on the Hutchinson River Parkway. A patrol officer located the vehicle on the Cross County Parkway, followed it to the northbound Saw Mill River Parkway and attempted a traffic stop on the exit ramp to Yonkers Avenue. The driver refused to pull over, fled eastbound along Yonkers

Avenue and then traveled southbound on Central Park Avenue. The driver stopped near a Mavis auto dealership, grabbed a backpack from the car and ran off. He was chased by a county police officer who observed him toss the backpack behind the Mavis shop. The officer was able to catch that suspect a short distance away and take him into custody. The backpack, which contained heroin and cash, was recovered. Three passengers in the car—a man and two women—were detained at the scene by county officers and were also taken into custody at that time. Another backpack containing illegal narcotics was found inside the car.

In total, one kilo of suspected heroin and three kilos of suspected cocaine were seized along with $9,400 in cash. County police on Monday night charged all four suspects with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 1st Degree, a felony. They are identified as: • Jeidy Rodriguez, 35, of Paterson, New Jersey; • Red Pichardo, 28, of Manhattan; • Amely Disla, 21, of Manhattan; and • Nicolle Baez, 21, of Manhattan. The suspects were booked at county police headquarters in Hawthorne and held overnight for arraignment on March 3 in Yonkers City Court. (Submitted)

Welcome back LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Absence—as the saying goes—makes the heart grow fonder. And for local sports fans, there is no venue in the area that is held in higher regard than the Westchester County Center. The longtime home of the “Championship Week”—traditionally the semifinal and final rounds of the Section I basketball tournament—the County Center has seen its fair share of history and been the ultimate goal for generations upon generations of scholastic basketball standouts. And after a two-year absence, championship basketball is officially back where it belongs. Beginning in 1933, the County Center played host to some of the biggest, most talked about basketball matchups in the area until Section I executives moved the finals location to Pace Universi-

ty’s Goldstein Center prior to the 2018 season. And while the facilities at Pace are more than adequate for championship affairs, something felt amiss about the whole situation. It didn’t feel like home. But in June of 2019, Section I announced that it had reached a deal to return to the County Center, which would once host a full Final Four schedule. 20 teams from five different classes would get the chance to step out onto that hallowed hardwood and play on Westchester’s biggest stage. Understandably, it was among the biggest sports stories of the summer, and now we’re finally able to enjoy the results. Even as a reporter, there’s something comforting about covering championship week at Westchester’s Most Famous Arena. From being greeted by the same old faces at the media check-in gate, to seeing Section I superfan Keith Yizar in his typical front-row midcourt seat, to hearing the same familiar pop

and rock songs blaring on the PA system during breaks in the action, everything about it just feels right. And the County Center experience is something you can tell that is cherished players and students alike. Pace, for all its amenities, still felt like a gym at an academic institution. The County Center, on the other hand, with its massive LED displays and its two-tiered stadium seating, feels like something bigger, adding a certain gravity to each on-court matchup. It’s more than just a venue for games, it’s an event site. So here’s to all the people who fought to bring the games back to their rightful home. And let’s hope that our student-athletes who got the chance to take the court this week will walk away from the experience with some indelible memories like the scores of players who came before them.

Meyer’s putback sends Rye to semis GIRLS BASKETBALL

SEMIS

RYE 61 SOMERS 59 2/26/20

RYE HS

Game Notes: • Natasha Meyer hit the game winner to send Rye to the semis • Amanda Latkany led the Garnets with 20 points • Rye will play Harrison at the Westchester County Center on 3/6 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Feb. 26, Natasha Meyer hit what was undoubtedly the biggest shot of her high school career, collecting the rebound on a half-court shot and converting on a put-back as time expired to give Rye a 61-59 victory over Somers in the Class A quarterfinal game. But even though Meyer’s heads

up play helped send the Garnets to the semifinal round at the Westchester County Center, the junior guard nearly found herself watching the game’s decisive play from the bench. With her team up by one and just over four minutes left to play, Meyer was forced to exit the game after sustaining a leg injury that threatened to put an end to her night—and potentially the season. “My first thought when I went down was to check the clock; I knew I had to get back in,” Meyer said. “So I told the trainer to get me back in as soon as I could go, and then I told Coach Hackett I was ready, and that’s what I needed.” After sitting out a few possessions, a noticeably hobbled Meyer made her way back onto the court and not a moment too soon. With 10 seconds left and the score knotted at 59-59, Somers had one last chance to put the game away but Amanda Latkany stripped Dani DiCintio, collected a pass from Mara Ball and

sent a desperation heave towards the basket that came high off the glass and right into the arms of a streaking Meyer who beat the Somers defenders down the floor and followed through with the game-winner. “My first thought when Amanda put it up was that it was going in,” Meyer said. “But then I saw the [Somers] girl stopping, so I figured ‘why not’, kept going, and put it in.” Meyer finished with 16 points on the afternoon, while Latkany paced the Garnets with 20. “[Meyer] steps up,” Rye coach Margo Hackett said. “She had a big game against Byram, she had a big game tonight and that’s something you really can’t teach. She just rises to the challenge.” Somers was led by a 20-point effort from DiCintio, and was nearly able to unseat a Rye team that had handed them a 54-35 loss early in the season. “Somers had been playing well as of late and they had nothing to lose, so I was expecting exactly that,” Hackett said. “DiCintio is

a great player and she’s got talent around her, so that’s a tough team.” With the victory, the top-seeded Garnets will get the chance

to play in the Class A semifinals against a familiar foe, No. 4 Harrison, on March 6 at the County Center. The Huskies and Garnets split a pair of regular season con-

tests this year, with Rye winning a Feb. 10 meeting 57-35.

Defensive effort sends Rye to finals BOYS BASKETBALL

SEMIFINALS

RYE 53 PEARL RIVER 46 WESTCHESTER COUNTY CENTER 3/5/20

Game Notes: • Rafael Velasquez scored 12 points for the Garnets • Mike Morrisey led all scorers with 17 • Rye hasn’t been to a Section I final since 1989 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor It has been more than three decades, but the Rye boys basketball team is finally heading back to the Section I championship game. On March 5, the Garnets were able to score a historic victory for the program, topping No. 7 Pearl River 53-46 at the Westchester County Center. But while

offensive explosiveness has long been the Garnets’ calling card, it took a terrific defensive performance on Wednesday to push Rye past the Pirates and on to the title game. Taking on an upstart Pirates team with a talented big man in Mike Morrisey—who led all scorers with 17 points and also grabbed eight rebounds—the Garnets came into Wednesday’s matchup knowing that they would need to rely on their team speed, tenacity, and their ability to disrupt passing lanes to increase the tempo of the game. Led by a game-high seven steals by senior Matt Tepedino, the Garnets were able to do just that, turning the Pirates’ miscues into transition points that would eventually decide the game. Tepedino and Quinn Kelly both tallied 11 points for the Garnets, while Rafael Velasquez led the team with 12. “That was the plan coming in,” Kelly said. “We knew they were big so we had to force turnovers,

be quick and get a lot of fast break points.” Even though the Garnets executed the game plan, they proved unable to pull away from the Pirates for most of the game. The two squads were tied 24-24 at halftime and Pearl River was able to pull within three points with just 14 seconds left to play in regulation, before Rye was able to ice the game with a pair of free throws by Velasquez. “Just like coach always says, ‘basketball is a game of runs,’” Kelly said. “Our motto all year has been to fight through adversity and we did that tonight.” With the win, Rye will move on to the Class A championship game, where they will take on the defending state champion, No. 4 Poughkeepsie, on March 8. The Pioneers beat top-seeded Tappan Zee 59-49 in the semifinal round, led by a 23-point effort from Revelation Garriga. The fact that it’s been so long since Rye’s last finals appearance

is not one that is lost on the current Garnets’ roster. “It’s really special,” Kelly

said. “The County Center is a great arena, every high school player looks forward to playing here, and
