Manor’s huge fourth quarter fuels win over Roscoe

Wildcats tighten defense and get key rebounds to ice win

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY—Roscoe coach Fred Ahart looked over the Manor players during their warm-ups, wistfully remembering how much he enjoyed coaching some of them during football when the two schools set aside their historic rivalry and joined forces.

Come spring, the two schools will unite in baseball, track and golf. But during basketball season, they return to what they have always been, fierce foes.

There’s something special about the match-ups between these two schools that are separated by a few miles along the Quickway. Anytime you get Roscoe and Livingston Manor going at it head to head, you can expect high energy and a fight to the finish.
