PATERSON – The Queen of Peace players that were on the floor last season in the section final remember the feeling of blowing a fourth-quarter lead and watching Saddle River Day celebrate a state sectional championship. It is not the fondest of memories, but, after an upset of top-seeded Immaculate Conception in the section semifinals, Queen of Peace earned another shot at the Rebels in the same round and on the same floor and this time it seized the moment and played its best in crunch time. The fourth-seeded Golden Griffins got contributions from everyone in the fourth quarter. Senior Raven Farley-Clark had her way in the paint with teammates Natalie Arrouaye and D’aviyon Magazine each hitting huge 3-pointers before the Queen of Peace closed it out down the stretch at the foul line to win the first section title in school history.
