The Enterprise — Michael Koff

“It’s an emotional thing,” Watervliet Head Coach Gordie Johnson said of last Saturday’s physical, chaotic Class B quarterfinal against Voorheesville, which the host Cannoneers won, 59 to 51, despite the Blackbirds’ anger-fueled comeback. There were numerous steals by both teams, and bodies hit the floor several times, like here, where Watervliet’s Kiki Szczepanski slides on her stomach as the basketball pops up to Voorheesville’s Emily Burke, left, as she looks to grab it; Voorheesville’s Victoria Coluccio sits up from the scrum at right.
