The upcoming county championship basketball game between the Plainview-Old Bethpage Hawks and Syosset Braves marks a significant moment for the underdog fourth-seeded Hawks. Coach Nick Tomasulo reflects on the team's transformation from a perennial loser to a competitive force, thanks in part to star player Emma Heaney. After a key loss to the Braves earlier in the season, the Hawks bounced back with a seven-game winning streak, leading to this championship showdown against the seasoned defending champions, who are eager to carve their own legacy.
They wouldn't want it any other way.
This program, when I took it over, was winning like two or three games a year.
It was after that loss that we vowed to each other, 'This is it. There should be no other losses.'
This team really wants to win. But we don't talk about back-to-back a lot.
