Massapequa Girls Basketball Advances to County Finals

Balanced attack leads Chiefs to win over Saturday showdown with Uniondale.

Maybe 13 will be lucky for the Massapequa Girls Basketball team.

The Chiefs will be headed to the County finals for the 13th time in 18 seasons by virtue of a 64-41 win over MacArthur, in Wednesday night's semifinal at Garden City High School.

Massapequa was led by Lauren Van Buren and Melanie Hingher, who each scored 12 points, while Hingher pulled down 10 rebounds.

But the Chiefs had a balanced scoring sheet as Meghan McCabe came off the bench to score 9 points in the second quarter, allowing Coach Shari Roessler to keep an up-tempo attack going,

"Having all these kids off the bench allows us off the bench to keep running and resting, running and resting," she said.

Top seeded Massapequa now heads to Saturday's conference final against Uniondale to be held at LIU-Post at 5 p.m to try to win their first Class AA title  since 2006.

when you say elite do you mean the hard working people who have money? it's a matter of labels. youRead More call them elite..they call themselves hard workers. yes, some inherit money. but most of us work for it.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treatedRead More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

Will the new Massapequa station platform be covered end-to-end as it is now? If it will only beRead More partially covered, like Seaford station, there are going to be a lot of cold, wet, unhappy commuters.

Mr. Coyote, The design plans only call for a canopy over certain parts of the station platform, likeRead More almost all of the other stations along the branch. The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.
