Class AA championship Hilton 73, Averill Park 71, OT
TROY – With 15.3 seconds left in regulation, Hilton’s Mallory Heise banked home a shot to send a NYSPHSAA Class AA girls semifinal game against Section 2 champion Averill Park into overtime. Arianna Veradi converted a pair of free-throws with 23 seconds remaining to put Averill Park up 71-70. The Warriors stopped Hilton’s initial drive upcourt but the Cadets got a turnover with 7.5 seconds showing on the clock.
Hilton got the ball in, drove toward the basket before kicking the ball out to Elena Graziano in the corner and the junior responded with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to advance Hilton to the Class AA title game Saturday against the victor of the second semi-final between Albertus Magnus and East Meadow.
