Gallagher could only lament a couple of borderline possessions MONETTI
but still held his head high on behalf of his players. jumper.

“ ey left everything on the court,” Gallagher said.
John Jay once again got their start on the play of Kendall
Miller. She pulled down the rst of her 13 rebounds, found Sarah
Pieratti on the outlet and John Jay led 2-0.
Miller’s multidimensional talents put Byram on notice.Tallying
26 points, she hit a turnaround jumper, came up with a steal and
was on the receiving end for two layups.
Of course, the Bobcats had plenty of game themselves. Beth
Corelli, who dropped 24, hit two threes for a 7-4 advantage and
Olivia Barry put up 6 with two drives and one hefty follow.
John Jay did hold a small foothold after one, but the 17-14
lead disappeared on Corelli’s step-back three. e teams traded
baskets until Miller hit another turnaround jumper, and Pieratti
nailed a triple to give John Jay a 26-21 lead.

ere was plenty of ght in these Bobcats, though. Jen Mui
answered with a three and Olivia Picca got to the line to close to
27-26 with 3:33 left in the half.

e see-saw continuing, Bryam impressed as Stefana Latella
received a perfect inbound to knot the score at 32, but Lindsey
Neumann went on the backend seconds later. Under John Jay’s
basket, she threw the ball o the back of her defender and
converted for a two-point halftime lead.

e start of the third got John Jay on the board on another
inbound. Kelly Nolan found Miller inside for two, but any
separation was shut down by Mui. She scored 8 of her 15 points
with two drives and a corner three.

Strong up the middle, Miller stopped the run with a three,
and the quarter seemed ready to close at 44-43 as the center
masterfully defended the break. But Mui kept her head up and
hit the follow to extend the lead to three.

e Bobcats maintained at 50-47 as Latella dropped a layup,
and the game looked ready to get away on the subsequent Byram
Hills fast break. But Shannon Nolan, who had 9 points, turned
away Corelli with the rejection.

Nolan then tied the score on a three—a major assist going to
Mia Puccio. Puccio dove into the loose ball scrum and kept the
possession alive.

“She is our workhorse,” said Gallagher. “She often has to keep
up with the opposition’s best player, and still scores, passes and
rebounds.”

Picca answered back with a three nonetheless, but after Miller
sunk two free throws to cut to 53-52, Byram Hills looked like
they might unravel. An o ensive foul and a backcourt violation
put the home team on edge.

After a timeout, Puccio found Miller inside for two, and
Shannon Nolan drained a jumper. Unfortunately, the three-
point lead once again ran into Byram’s backcourt. Corelli hit two
jumpers and gave the Bobcats a 57-56 lead.

Fittingly, John Jay’s nal lead came on Miller’s heels. Missing
the layup underneath, the senior converted the put back on her
third try to go up 58-57.

Following a jump shot and follow by Corelli and Latella
respectively, Puccio’s drive gave John Jay their nal points at 61-
60. Later, Nolan was whistled for a travel, and Puccio was called
for a foul on Mui’s jump shot.

e Bobcat guard would sink two free throws for a 63-
60 lead, and John Jay could not overcome in the nal 1:37.
Even so, Gallagher acknowledged the Indians’ dedication and
commitment—especially as a rst-year coach trying to make his
way.

“ ey mean everything to me,” he concluded.

John Jay,having earned the No.1 seed,begins their section title defense
on ursday (Feb. 27) at the Brewster Ice Arena. eir semi nal oppo-
nent, unknown as of press time, with either be No. 4 Horace Greeley or
No 5. Pearl River. e nals are scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, March 1,
also at Brewster.

e Indians nished their regular season on ursday, Feb. 18, with
a 5-2 defeat to Su ern, the top seed in the Section 1 Division I tourna-
ment.

“We played a very fast team and I thought there were a couple of times
where mentally we broke down,” Smith said. Twice, the coach added,
“We gave up a power-play goal and they scored on the next shift. We
need to be a little mentally tougher when things are not going our way.”

e key to winning in the playo s, Smith said, is to avoid mistakes
without playing tight.

“We want to make sure we’re paying attention to the little things,”
Smith said. “Playo s are a di erent animal. Lose one game and you’re
done. So, you have to avoid any long stretches of [poor play].”

To avoid any rust between the end of the regular season and the be-
ginning of the playo s, John Jay scrimmaged against Mamaroneck on
Friday, Feb. 21.

“We’re working hard to stay in condition,”Smith said.“We’re planning
to play either of the teams (Greeley or Pearl River) and really working on
our e ciency, our execution in practice.”

Everyday I am asked about my medical opinion or protocol for PUBLICITY WITH PERSONALITY
prevention or treatment of a disease.

e purpose of this article is not to make you afraid or depress
you.

Below are some actionable ideas you can make in your life:
1. Have an attitude of gratitude: appreciate everything from the
air you breathe, the food you eat, and the people in your life. Start
your day o writing in a gratitude journal.
2. I base my medical decisions on scienti c studies and 20 years of
experience seeing the successes, and failures, of di erent medications
and vaccines. My decisions directly a ect the life of my patient. I don’t
take my medical responsibilities lightly. When I recommend a Lyme
vaccine to prevent life threatening irreversible kidney damage from an
infected tick, my only concern is to help the animal.
Adopt an attitude of gratitude, savor every moment, understand
life’s fragility and trust your veterinarian.
