"It's unreal," said Pearl River senior Christa Scognamiglio, who also started on the Pirates' last championship team in 2008 as an eighth grader. "It doesn't even feel like we got it. It's such an amazing feeling. I'm so happy for us. I'm so proud of us."

Pearl River senior guard Allison Cook led all scorers with 15 points. Scognamiglio finished with 10 for the Pirates (20-2).
