Whalers Win a Title, Too

   The Pierson (Sag Harbor) High School Whalers won the county Class C championship at Suffolk Community College-Selden Monday by virtue of Forrest Loesch’s last-second desperation 3-pointer that stunned Stony Brook 34-32.

    It was the first county championship for the Whalers since 1994 when they won the Class D title with Tyler Ratcliffe, John Schroeder, Jeremy Brandt, and Eric Bramoff.

    Pierson, which made it to the C final in similar fashion, edging Port Jefferson 36-35 Friday behind Loesch’s 4 overtime points, was to have played Bridgehampton, the D champ, in the county’s C-D game at the State College at Farmingdale yesterday.

    The B-C-D game is to be played tomorrow at Suffolk Community College-Selden at 6 p.m. The county small schools championship game is to be played at Farmingdale Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

    As for the state Class C tourney, the Whalers are to play East Rockaway for the Long Island championship at Farmingdale on March 6 at 5 p.m.
