Prahalis off to flying start
BY ADAM RONIS
Sammy Prahalis feels there's something missing from her high school resume. One of the last things she wants to accomplish is winning a Suffolk Class AA championship, which she has yet to do in her first five seasons.
The Ohio-State bound Prahalis was close to getting it done last season. The number 3:59 will forever be etched in her mind. That's the time when she fouled out against North Babylon in the championship game as Commack relinquished a 17-point halftime lead in a 71-67 loss.
"It slipped out of our hands," Prahalis said. "Winning is the most important thing. We're a young team, but every girl has improved a lot since our first scrimmage."
Commack is one of the top contenders to win the county title. Commack lost four players from last season's team that played key roles. So far, Commack is 3-1 with victories over Massapequa, Curtis (Staten Island), and St. Peter's (Staten Island) and a loss to Molloy (Queens).
Prahalis has scored 25, 27, 35, and 32 points. There's no doubt Commack will rely heavily on Prahalis, but ultimately its success will come down to how quick the players around her learn to work with her.
