Welcome to Patch's daily snapshot of sports in Bedford and Katonah. Knox does it all On the court, nobody has a sweeter stroke than John Jay's Raegan Knox. Knox is the school all-time leading scorer in girls basketball as she broke Dawn DiMicco’s record of 1,278 points which stood for 16 years. Now she’s just eight points away from the overall basketball scoring record at the school. Boys record holder Tim Nevins finished his oustanding career with 1,471 points scored.

Superintendent of Schools Jere Hochman warned parents and others against “assumptions” or thoughts that “our decisions are based on subjective or unfounded opinions.”
In a statement to the Bedford School Board, Superintendent Jere Hochman defended last month’s firing of longtime Fox Lane girls basketball coach Ayo Hart. Her dismissal—for reasons the district adamantly refuses to disclose—has generated a low-key controversy, with at least one petition already claiming 65 signatories beseeching officials to reinstate the coach. Hart, who was not a district employee, had been a part-time coach with the basketball program for 11 years, most recently as the varsity’s head coach. Her dismissal followed a Jan. 12 incident, in which she departed a game against Port Chester, leaving her team in the hands of an assistant coach. Hart, a self-employed Pound Ridge resident, later said a business commitment made the …
