That's because the Pride came away with their fourth straight state title on Saturday, defeating Section 2's Shenendehowa 69-66 at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy for its fourth straight New York State Class AA title.

Seton Hall University-bound senior Shadeen Samuels, the tournament MVP, led the way with a team-high 26 points.

Ossining, which is 26-2 and set a school record for wins in a season, now takes aim at the chance to win a first-ever Federation Tournament of Champions title.

Ossining will face PSAL champion South Shore in the semifinals on Friday at 3 p.m. at Times Union Center in Albany.
