By Matt Spielman 2 min read

TROY - The Frewsburg Bears are state champions.

Again.

Jadyn Trocki had 26 points, six assists, five rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots as Frewsburg rallied from a double-digit first-half deficit to beat Greenwich 59-52 in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class C title game Saturday evening at Hudson Valley Community College.

The Bears trailed by 13 after one quarter, but Trocki hit a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer to pull Frewsburg within three heading into the third quarter.

Trocki gave the Bears their first lead of the game with 5:02 left in the third quarter, but a 7-0 run by the Witches put Frewsburg in another hole.

Sophomore Elysse Gruber and senior Abery Harvey scored on back-to-back trips before sophomore Jaden Jimerson's three-point play made it 37-36 Bears with 1:16 left in the period.

They would never trail again.

Greenwich opened the fourth quarter 0 for 9 with two turnovers and didn't make a field goal until Bailee Wolfe's basket with 2:20 remaining. By that point, it was 49-40 in favor of Frewsburg.

The Witches cut it to 53-48 with just under a minute remaining on a Brooke Kuzmich 3-pointer, but the Bears went 8 for 8 at the foul line in the final two minutes to put the game away.

Frewsburg became the first Section VI girls program to win back-to-back titles since Pine Valley won three straight from 2003 to 2005. The Bears are also the sixth Class C program to go back to back and first since Millbrook in 2022 and 2023.

NOTES: Harvey had 13 points, four rebounds and two assists; Jimerson had 10 points and three assists; and Gruber had nine rebounds for Frewsburg, which shot 21 of 53 from the field, including 4 of 12 from 3-point range, and turned the ball over nine times. ... Bailee Wolfe had 15 points, five rebounds, three blocked shots, three assists and two steals; Olivia Davis had 13 points and nine rebounds; and Kuzmich had 12 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and two steals for Greenwich, which shot 19 of 56 from the field, including 5 of 22 from 3-point range, and turned the ball over 11 times.
