Jarosz reaches milestone
January 8th, 2010 by Rob DiAntonio
Lakeland’s Tori Jarosz reached 1,000 points tonight just 52 seconds into the Hornets 61-19 shellacking of visiting Mahopac. Jarosz caught a pass in the lane, turned around and fired a short jumper for the milestone bucket.
The Vanderbilt-bound senior star scored all of her 14 points in the first quarter. She left the game in the second after rolling her ankle, and did not return.
Hornets (7-0) senior guard Kristin Pappalardo posted a game-high 16 points.

Ossining’s Awerdick returns, briefly
Ossining’s Hayley Awerdick returned from an ACL injury suffered in a preaseason scrimmage in a 60-35 win over host Putnam Valley tonight. The return, however, was short lived, as Awerdick 
left the game in the third quarter with a noticeable limp. She applied an ice pack to her knee and elevated it against the wall.
Melissa Awerdick, Hayley’s sister who was also a star at Ossining, came over to comfort her (pictured right) after she left the game.
At times, Ossining (6-3) looked out of sync with Awerdick in the lineup and even when she wasn’t in. Head Coach Dan Ricci said Awerdick, who didn’t really look for her shot and was held scoreless, is obviously out of shape right now. It will naturally take her some time to get back in the swing of things. She looks to be about 65-70 percent. Awerdick returned in the first quarter and usually subbed in to give Saniya Chong a break and played no more than 7-8 minutes.
Alex Venuto led Ossining with a game-high 23 points, sinking four 3-pointers. Carey Berry paced PV with 15 points, all coming via three.
