2 8th graders, 2 freshman, 1 junior on the court with 12 seconds remaining and we execute in front of this amazing atmosphere. Huge thank you to the Pleasantville community for the support. Our girls showed grit, perseverance, and played hard. A season full of learning. 💚
Here’s 8th-grader Maddie Becerra putting in a running, left-handed hook to tie the score vs. Westlake with 5 seconds and change left in their Class B semifinal game.

Unbelievable. Scott puts YMA ahead with 10 seconds left with an acrobatic layup. And then Faith Brown takes the ball down the floor and scores for Pleasantville with 3 seconds left.
YMA shot at buzzer misses
Final: Pleasantville wins 46-45 in Class B girls quarters
0-7 start ➡️ Class B Final Four
Becerra led with 16 pts. Brown with the go ahead layup for the win. Unbelievable fight by our young squad. Motto of the season: Crazy things happen when you play hard ‼️
The Pleasantville girls started the season 0-7 and in danger of not making the postseason in late January. And now they are in the Class B Final Four.
Maybe the best story in Section 1 girls basketball:
Pleasantville girls beat YMA, reach County Center
We fall to Ardsley 43-25. So incredibly proud of the fight, passion, and togetherness of our squad. Culture changing season. When the tears fall, it means so much more. 💚
