Congratulating the Yonkers Montessori Academy Varsity Girls Basketball Team upon the occasion of capturing the 2026 NYSPHSAA Basketball Class B Championship on March 21, 2026
J02105 is a Senate resolution honoring the Yonkers Montessori Academy Varsity Girls Basketball Team for winning the 2026 NYSPHSAA Basketball Class B Championship on March 21, 2026. The resolution recognizes the team’s overtime victory over Chenango Forks, its 24-3 season, and the leadership of Head Coach Elie Moise and Assistant Coach Michael Marino. It also highlights the team’s distinction as the first girls team in Yonkers history to win a state championship and the first Yonkers team overall to win a state title since 1932.
The resolution does not change state law or create any new legal obligations. Its effect is ceremonial: it formally commends the players and coaches by name and directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to them. The measure serves as an official legislative acknowledgment of athletic achievement and community pride rather than a policy or regulatory action.
Because J02105 is a congratulatory Senate resolution, it has no substantive impact on state statutes, regulations, or public programs. Its practical effect is limited to formal recognition by the Legislature of the Yonkers Montessori Academy Varsity Girls Basketball Team, its coaches, and the school community.

The text emphasizes athletic excellence, perseverance, teamwork, discipline, and historic achievement, and there is no indication of opposition or controversy. With no recorded votes or committee debate provided, the available context suggests the measure is noncontroversial and intended as a unanimous expression of support and praise.
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. The resolution is a ceremonial commendation, and the context provided includes no committee discussion, amendments, or recorded opposition. Any discussion would likely center only on the team’s historic accomplishment and the appropriateness of legislative recognition.
