Magee spoke of the importance of change in the future. A longtime supporter of agriculture, he explained it is time to connect residents of New York City with the output of upstate farms. “Governor Cuomo put a lot of emphasis on agriculture and the importance of it.� Magee said. “It’s a message that I’ve tried to carry for a long time.

Agriculture is the upstate economy.

It’s also the number one industry in the state, and we need to do whatever we can to improve it.�

Increasing the trade between the urban and rural areas of New York should be relatively easy and beneficial to both groups, he said. Magee also said that Cuomo will have the support they require, with rising popularity in “green� lifestyles and consumers’ desire to know where

Newly sworn-in Governor Andrew Cuomo supports a cap on property taxes. While this might be welcomed by tax-paying residents, area school districts may suffer significant losses. A cap of 2 percent, or the rate of inflation, whichever is less, is planned.

C a z e n ov i a C e nt r a l School District relies heavily on state aid and revenue generated from property tax. In the past year, state aid has been reduced by 18 percent. The district may have to consider reducing staff and removing programs from the curriculum to account for the potential tax cap and state mandates.

If no additional state aid is received this year and property taxes are capped at two percent, the district will have to cut $900,000 from the budget. “We are looking at everything that we spend within our budget; everything from staffing, to supplies and equipment, to what BOCES services we purchase,� Assistant Superintendent Bill Furlong said. “Everything is on the table this year, in terms of reviewing whether it is absolutely necessary or not.

And unfortunately there are probably some things people view as necessary

Community News Invitational cancelled for 2011 National Horse Show trotting to Kentucky

By Pierce Smith After being named the top U.S show in 2010 by the North American Riders Group, the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament will not take place in 2011. Competing on the same weekend for years, the National Horse Show decided to partner with Syracuse in 2008.

The two entered an agreement to have the show in central New York through 2011, however the NHS will instead hold their competition in Kentucky this year.

Cazenovia resident, and Chairman of the Syracuse Invitational Organizing Committee, John Madden expressed his disappointment in a news release.

For the past three years, the NHS was held in Syracuse and garnered financial success each year except 2009. After separating this year, organizers of the Syracuse Invitational said that there were not enough sponsors,

Snow Ball slated for Feb. 5

Plans are underway for Cazenovia Community Preschool, Inc.’s third Annual Snow Ball at 7 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Brae Loch Inn. Although WinterFest Weekend has been rescheduled for the following weekend, event planners have elected to continue the event on the first Saturday in February.

The event will feature live music from the band Old School, hearty appetizers, a 50/50 raffle, and a silent auction. Past auction items have included dinner cruises on the lake, handmade wooden furniture, photography packages, and a variety of other items. Admission is $15 per person at the door. Dress for the event is casual. All proceeds benefit Cazenovia Community Preschool.

CCP has been an integral part of the Cazenovia area community for more than 40 years. For more information about the SnowBall fundraiser or about the preschool’s programs for 3 and 4 year olds, contact Director Torrey Lansing at torrey.lansing@ yahoo.com or call 655-7234.

NOTICE:

horses and riders to ensure the success of both shows.

Being the larger of the two organizations, it is believed the NHS is expected to attract more notable sponsors and competitors. NHS organizers decided to move their operation to Kentucky because of its geographical location and onsite stabling facilities. The show is scheduled to take place at the Kentucky Horse Park.

Madden owns John Madden Sales and is married to accomplished equestrian competitor and Olympic athlete Beezie Madden.

Free tax help available C ommunity Action Partnership, Department of Social Services and Colgate University will offer the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance program to Madison County residents beginning Jan. 19.

For more information or to schedule an appointment call CAP between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at 684-3144 or 1-800-721-2271.

Particpants must have earned less than: $13,460 if single ($18,470 if married & filing jointly) with no qualifying children; $35,535 if single ($40,545 if married & filing jointly) with one qualifying child; $40,363 if single ($45,373 if married & filing jointly) with two qualifying children; $43,352 if single ($48,362 if married & filing jointly) with three or more qualifying children.

Odeon to host singer Treasa Levasseur Treasa Levasseur will be performing at 8 p.m. Friday Jan. 21 at the Nelson Odeon on 4035 Nelson Road, Nelson.

While many American audiences are not familiar with Levasseur, Canadian audiences have been listening to her since 2006 with the debut of “Not a Straight Line” which attracted praise from fans and critics alike.

Heavily influenced by such soul artists as Mavis Staples, Carole King, and Annie Lennox, this singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist remains musically versatile.

Above all, Levasseur has a passion for making music.

She simply wants to play.

Treasa’s latest release “Low Fidelity” was a 2010 Canadian Juno award nominee for best blues album of the year and received rave reviews from the Toronto Sun, The Washington Examiner, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Treasa Levasseur and many more. Jon Sobul with Indie Round Up wrote, “Low Fidelity is an excellent combination of smooth, soulful grooves, and attitude, all melded together with pointed and (above all) fun songwriting.”

“This is music that seeps into your soul,” writes David McPherson of Exclaim Magazine, “with lines that linger long and don’t let go until the last note is sung. Leveraging the muscle of Muscle Shoals, the mojo of Motown, and the blues from Chicago, ‘Low Fidelity’ is Levasseur’s coming-out party.”

Tickets are $18 at the door or can be ordered at nelsonodeon.com.

A brief introduction

After two years as editor for the Cazenovia Republican, Doug Campbell has been promoted to online editor for Eagle Newspapers. I was fortunately granted an opportunity to fill his position. I’d like to take this chance to properly introduce myself to readers.

Like Doug, I was raised in Cazenovia and was a student of the local school district. I thoroughly enjoyed my childhood here.

With the nearby lake, From the abundance of parks and lake effect snow, it was an attractive area in which to grow up.

I graduated from high school with the class of 2005, and traveled downstate to the blooming metropolis of Poughkeepsie to major in communications at Marist College. It was there I submitted my first article to the student newspaper and realized my affinity for writing.

After graduating from Marist in the spring of 2009, I gained experience at a number of public media outlets and decided to venture out west. However, the open road that led me away from Cazenovia eventually brought me back to this special community.

I began working as a freelance writer, occasionally submitting articles to the paper. Doug happily accepted my contributions, even asking me to cover events on occasion. I enjoyed the process and the purpose of reporting, and was soon harassing Doug for more writing opportunities.

When I got word of a potential opening at the Cazenovia Republican, I jumped at the chance to get more involved. I am extremely thankful and optimistic for my new position as editor. Like anyone starting a new job, my first week was filled with excitement and a fair amount of stress. Doug is an excellent mentor, and has helped to make the transition easy.

I’ve always enjoyed Cazenovia’s strong sense of community, and am honored to be covering this historically rich area of Central New York. I’m excited to write about village and town happenings, music, art and school news. As the new editor, I am committed to maintaining the degree of excellence Doug achieved at Cazenovia Republican.

If you have questions, comments, potential story ideas or submissions please e-mail me at editor@ cazenoviarepublican.com.

Further consideration needed for fire department acquisition

To the editor: I read with interest the most recent article in the Jan. 12 Cazenovia Republican, regarding the village’s potential purchase of 6 Farnham St. adjacent to the fire station for our fire department. I would thank the village board for their careful consideration and due diligence regarding this possible purchase. I have also spoken with Peggy Van Arnam as well as other board members to share my perspective and hear and understand theirs.

Let me clarify that the house at 6 Farnham St. is not “listed” as the article of Jan. 12 states. The owner “wants” $110,000, but it is not listed.

Ask anyone who has tried to sell a house in the village the past two or

three years, what the difference is between what you want and what you get and how long it takes to sell even when you have a well priced property. It is presumptuous on the part of fire department members who are not familiar with recent village sales to say that $110,000 is a fair price. Please note that this is not the opinion of every fire department member, as I have spoken personally to one who believes the house is not worth a penny more than $75,000 and he has been in the house, as have I. With that said, I appreciate the enthusiasm and desire to purchase on the part of the fire department, but can not justify overpaying for a parking lot for 11 cars (possible use) of all things, in today’s world of budget cuts and belt tightening.

Cazenovia taxpayers are the ones who will be paying and carrying the burden, some of whom are our

volunteer firemen, of course. It is important that we all share input to come up with a decision that is reasonable, financially sound and just and takes into consideration long term needs as well as benefits for today. A proper determination of fair market value is still to be determined should a purchase be deemed appropriate.

It is important to state clearly that I am pro Cazenovia Fire Dept. and acknowledge them as a valuable asset to our community. We have a terrific group of dedicated volunteers who are indispensable. We as a community are fortunate to have their services and are appreciative of what they do for us. Thank you to all who give so generously of their time and in such a professional manner.

It’s time for juniors to get started on college search Attention all juniors, and parents of juniors: it is time to get going on the college process. I know it

By Maria Badami seems soon, but I can assure you that the students that started in the winter of their junior year were, by far, better prepared and submitted much more thorough applications.

Perhaps, just as important, they submitted fewer applications than those students that started the process later. This point usually gets parents’ attention, since each application costs about $60. Most of the students I worked with submitted eight applications, but it is not unusual for unsure students to submit up to 20 applications.

So what can students and families start to do? Begin by planning some college visits, particularly if your son or daughter is not sure of what kind of college they are interested in. We are fortunate to have a range of schools in our area. Visit a state school, a large university like Syra-

Caps #GJCL? 5CL?F?MM **!

“Super Quiz” will commence at 1:40 pm., when students will respond to questions in front of an audience.

The awards ceremony will be held following the Super Quiz. The two highest scoring teams will advance to the New York State Competition on March 11 and 12 at Onondaga Community College. The national USAD competition will be held April 27 through 30 in Charlotte, N.C. Participating in the 2011 Academic Decathlon sectionals for Cazenovia are:

cuse, Ithaca, or Cornell, and some smaller liberal arts institutions like Hobart & William Smith, Union and Colgate. Assure your student that these are not necessarily the schools they have to attend, but that this is just practice in how to get the most out of college visits. These early visits will give your student a frame of reference. “I like campuses that have X,” or “I hate colleges that focus so much on Y.” These likes and dislikes help students begin to define what they want from a college, what programs are offered, what kind of students they feel most comfortable with and what learning style matter most to them.

I encourage families to schedule visits online as early as possible. Yes, you do have to register now. Many students waited to the last minute this year and were not able to schedule themselves on tours or information sessions. It’s difficult to get a real sense of what a school is like without taking the tour or hearing the admission staff representative’s address. Holidays like Martin Luther King weekend and February break are great times to visit since college

students are on campus.

The other important area juniors can begin to explore is summer plans. Does the student plan to get a job, attend a summer enrichment program or do community service?

Many of these programs actually have applications due in the winter. How students spend the summer between their junior and senior year matters.

Many colleges actually have an essay question on their applications asking about this. Others certainly ask in the interview. So it is a good idea to give it some careful thought.

I share this advice not to put families in a panic, but to give everyone a “heads up.’” More students are submitting more applications than ever before. So getting yourselves organized and thinking about the process will help your son or daughter approach this important time thoughtfully and with more confidence.

that will also be eliminated from the budget.”

A two percent cap would bring a maximum of $300,000 of tax revenue to the district. If the cap is made at the rate of inflation, which is currently below two percent, even less will be available to Cazenovia schools. Furlong warned that the growing costs will leave the district in a deficit.

“Next year our retirement system costs will increase by $350,000,” Furlong said. “That’s provided no other costs go up. So, no salary increases and no increases in health insurance, which we already believe will go up 5.5 percent. With no other increases in expenses, we’ll still be $50,000 in the hole.”

However, with a 60-percent majority, residents have the ability to override the cap during budget elections.

Superintendent Bob Dubik organized a community forum on Jan. 13 to allow residents to voice their opinions to guests State Sen. David Valesky and Assemblyman Bill Magee. Townspeople in attendance voiced concerns such as the tax cap, unfunded state

“Enough is enough,” said Cazenovia School Board member and state employee, Cindy Bell-Toby, when discussing state mandates. “If they aren’t mandatory, they shouldn’t be done at this time.”

District expenses such as facilities’ maintenance, paying prevailing wages to outside contractors and pollution control compliance for buses, which

adds $10,000 to the cost of every new bus, are increased by state mandates.

Valesky mentioned Cuomo’s recently formed “Mandate Relief Redesign Team” to the forum attendees.

The newly appointed 23-member team will examine ineffective mandates and look for ways to reduce costs.

The representatives detailed plans for the upcoming year and assured residents their concerns would be heard in Albany.

Valesky expressed disappointment with his fellow politicians in his fourth term as a New York State Senator.

“I have made some changes in how I represent all of you in Albany. We have had far too many embarrassments and moments that put dysfunction in the reference to our New York State Legislature.” Valesky said. “We found out a couple weeks ago that over the past two years, the Senate Majority had overspent its budgeted allocation by $14 million, at the time of the greatest state fiscal crisis that we’ve seen since the 1930s.”

After voicing his concern, Valesky shared a bright outlook for the upcoming year. Attempting to avoid the pitfalls of Albany’s “hyper-partisan nature” he and three other senate colleagues have formed an independent conference, apart from the two primary conferences in the State Senate. Valesky said the new arrangement will allow him to easily work with both the majority and the minority, increasing chances for bipar-

tisan cooperation.

Mayor Tom Dougherty offered an optimistic look back at the previous year in Cazenovia. He and the village board successfully established the Traffic Violations Bureau and passed a new “Social Host Law.” A new backhoe was purchased for construction projects, and numerous streets were repaved. Dougherty attributed the year’s success to the 12 public hearings that were held and attended by townspeople.

“We had a very busy legislative year,” Dougherty said. “The more public input we have when we are trying to put together legislation, the better the end result is. I want to thank all the residents that came and contributed to the public hearings.”

A brief question and answer period followed the speeches. Chamber Chairman Gene Gissin concluded proceedings by thanking the representatives and the 70 area residents in attendance for their continuous support. The Chamber of Commerce has hosted the forum for the past decade.

The American Legion parking lot was packed the morning of Saturday Jan. 15 for the Winter Farmer’s Market, put on by the Greater Cazenovia Area Chamber of Commerce. Residents from all over Cazenovia braved the snow to purchase locally grown produce and handmade crafts from 36 vendors. Held every summer weekend at the village green, the farmer’s market continues once a month from November through April at the legion.

The legion’s upper level was occupied by produce vendors, offering samples of area cheeses, breads, honey and wine. Vendors on the lower level displayed their handmade jewelry, handbags and fur hats. Locally made wood products, soaps, jams and candy, as well as locally grown vegetables, wheat, barley and beans were available for purchase at the market.

Chamber Chairman Gene Gissin congratulated Andy Shepard, market manager, for suggesting the continuation of the market through the winter season.

“He came to us and asked us about a trial winter’s market, and it’s really taken off. Next year, he’s going to talk to a lot of the people and see if we want to do it twice a month,” Gissin said. “With the attendance we’re getting, I think we may do it.”

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!

Lakers win first OHSL indoor track title

By Kurt Wheeler

The Cazenovia girls indoor track and field team won their first-ever Onondaga High School League championship in impressive fashion, scoring 169 points to top the 11 team field including defending Section III champion Skaneateles, who was second with 101 points.

The Lakers also dominated the OHSL Liberty Division All-League selections, earning 18 of 24 slots on the first team and six more on the second team.

Cazenovia won seven of ten events on the track, including all three relays, to build a solid foundation for its first league title. Ashley Winn led a powerful contingent of runners, winning the 55 dash (7.63) and 300 dash (42.34) in Section III-leading, school record times and starting the first place 4x200 relay. Senior Captain Hollie Marcelle won the 600 (1:45.75, one second off the school record) and anchored the 4x400 and 4x800 relays to victory. Jillian Vogl was also impressive, placing second in the 300 (43.50), fourth in the 55 dash and setting a new school record in the 400 (1:02.0) as she led off the winning 1600-meter relay (4:24.94). Emmajean Speer and Jackie O’Sullivan also contributed

to the victorious 4x400. O’Sullivan, along with Audrey Bowers and Piper Gianforte combined with Winn for the 4x200 victory (1:55.71).

Freshman sensation Jeanette Cudney smashed the school record in the 3000-meter run, speeding to a second place, 11:15.13 finish. She also lead off the winning 4x800 relay, combining with Marcelle, Caroline Marshall and Margaret Wolsey for the win in the Lakers’ fastest time of the year (10:37.35). Paige Biviano also added a win on the track in the hurdles (9.39) with teammate Beth Marcelle capturing fifth in 11.42.

Marshall ran her fastest 1500 meter of the year (5:22.50) to place fourth while Rachel Grimm (fifth, 3:28.90) and Margaret Wolsey (sixth, 3:29.86) both scored in the 1000 meter.

Paige Biviano led the Lakers in the field, winning the long jump at 15-7.75 and taking second in the triple jump at 31-11.5, just a half inch from first place. Audrey Bowers had her best long jump of the year (15-6) to back up Biviano for a 1-2 finish while Hannah Light-Olson also had a personal best triple jump to claim third at 29-2. The Lakers also went 1-2 in the pole vault as Piper Gianforte claimed the league title with a 9-0 vault (the best in Section III this season) and Michelle McGinnis took second at 7-0. The shot put duo of Grace Eberle (26-9.25) and Molly Woodworth (26-7.5) placed second and third for Cazenovia to grab critical points in that event

Paige Biviano, pictured above during spring 2010, earned AllLeague honors in three events including the long jump, where she finished first in the OHSL with a leap of 15-7.75. Biviano helped lead the Lakers to their first indoor track league championship in program history. and Laura Fitch rounded out the scoring with a 4-8, third place effort in the high jump.

After clinching the Mohawk Valley and OHSL titles, the undefeated Lady Lakers now have two weeks to prepare for the sectional championship on Jan. 28, where they will pursue their first Section III title.

Caz hockey wins twice, improve to 12-0

By Phil Blackwell For those following the Cazenovia ice hockey team, the consistent destruction it has performed against opponents this season as it roared to a 12-0 start and the state’s top Division II ranking has proved a singular thrill.

Rarely has the Lakers faced a serious scare – but it did get contained Thursday night at Onondaga Nation Arena, when it faced CBA/ J-D. Still, a strong defensive effort pushed Cazenovia past the Brothers 2-0 to

make it 13 in a row.

Unlike so many times this season, when three or four goals in the first period was a norm, the Lakers managed a single tally in each of the first two periods. Brian Gara and John Greacen scored, with Joe Colligan, Sam Lewis and Joe Nardella earning assists.

CBA/J-D goalie Dan DiStefano kept it close, turning away all kinds of chances as he finished with 37 saves, but his teammates could not help out.

Cazenovia’s back line, led

by Colligan, Nardella and Sean Cannizzaro, kept on breaking up the Brothers’ pushes down the ice, holding them to just 15 shots, all of which Mason Powell stopped.

Two nights earlier, the Lakers won its 12th straight game with yet another onesided effort at Whitesboro, not letting up until it had beaten the Warriors 9-1.

Accustomed to quick starts, the Lakers did so again in this game by amassing four goals in the first period. As this went on, the defense tightened

It is ironic that the exercisers in weight rooms may leave their workouts less healthy than when they arrived. The fact is that weight-room injuries have increased by 50 percent since 1990. The largest increase in this type of injury has occurred in people aged 45 years and older. Clearly, precautions must be taken to eliminate injuries among wellintentioned individuals seeking to increase their muscle strength. The first step in injury prevention involves warming up with a few minutes of jogging or calisthenics. It also may help to use resistance P.S.

to make sure Whitesboro could not properly answer, holding the Warriors to 12 shots for the night.

By contrast, Cazenovia took 57 shots, more than one per minute. It led to Gara earning another three-goal hat trick as he added a pair of assists.

Sean and Connor Cannizzaro both found the net twice, while Lewis and Greacen got the other goals.

Both Lewis and Nardella finished with two assists as Greacen, Jeff Stowell and Connor Cannizzaro got single assists.

Hamilton, staying in Division I playoff contention, got a huge win on Friday when it went to Ithaca and stunned the Little Red 5-2.

Unafraid of the hostile

setting, and shaking off an early 1-0 deficit, the Emerald Knights used three straight goals in the second period to take the lead, and kept on producing down the stretch.

Alex Foster scored twice, adding an assist as Alex Brink earned a goal and two assists. Nick Koen and Kinnon Nolan-Finkel also converted, with Marc Donahue adding an assist.

Brady Carroll had a superb outing the net, turning back 35 of 37 Ithaca shots.

Three nights earlier, Hamilton hosted Solvay at Colgate’s Starr Rink and played the Bearcats to a 2-2 tie.

Many different honors went to the Cazenovia field hockey team in the wake of winning the school’s firstever state championship in a team sport.

The latest one came from the Syracuse Sports Corporation, who presented its “Believe to Achieve” Fall 2010 trophy to the Lakers in the Female Team Award category.

They received the award last Tuesday in a ceremony at LeMoyne College, where the boys soccer state Class B champions from Skaneateles also were honored, as was CBA football quarterback Tyler Hamblin and three individuals from Fayetteville-Manlius, including Bill Aris, coach of the five-time national champion girls cross country Hornets.

Under the direction of head coach Lorraine Scheftic, the Cazenovia field hockey team had won four consecutive Section III titles prior to 2010, but this time it went all the way.

With a record-setting attack and airtight defense, the Lakers went 21-2, culminating in the state Class C title won Nov. 20 at Cicero-North Syracuse in a 1-0 overtime decision over Pierson-Bridgehampton.

The roster: Jenna Raleigh, Emily Clipston, Kelly Dougherty, Molly Hudson, Ellen Burr, Caroline Marshall, Jillian Vogl, Mary Kate Conley, Tori Widrick, Kara Stalder, Raeanne Clabeaux, Emmajean Speer, Jessy Silfer, Abby Eschen, Emily Mastropaolo, Megan Cooney, Shelby Chase, Megan Kurucz, Belle Hoagland, Rachel Nourse, Sarah Rose Gabor and Lauren Devine.

Caz wrestlers pinned

Hockey

By Phil Blackwell Prior to hosting its own invitational meet on Saturday, the Cazenovia wrestling team had two different meets, one inside the OHSL Liberty division and the other outside it.

In the league match last Tuesday, the Lakers had a difficult time against Hannibal, taking a 72-14 loss to the Warriors.

Hannibal claimed the first eight matches, five of them forfeits, before Chris Biviano finally got the Lakers on the board with a forfeit at 103 pounds. Right after, Nick Petroff (112 pounds) beat Dennis Spaulding 5-2, while Ryan Cook won at 125 pounds with a 22-4 technical fall over Nick Shepard.

Cazenovia hoped for a better effort Thursday against Rome Free Academy, but didn’t get many points in a 60-8 loss to the Black Knights. Petroff beat Collin Newman 12-2 and Dylan Evans, at 119, beat James Redpath, but RFA took every other title.

first two periods. Alex Brink and Alex Foster scored and assisted on each other’s goals for the Emerald Knights, while Solvay countered with Tyler O’Mara and Mike Sniffen finding the net.

Hamilton had more shots, but in the third period and overtime Bearcats goalie Ryan Bonk turned everything away, finishing with 38 saves. Emerald Knights goalie Brady Carroll stopped 26 of the 28 shots he faced.

Cazenovia would wait for its shot at going 14-0 until Friday, when it makes a highly-anticipated trip to Clinton, the team that sits second in the Division II standings. The Lakers beat the Warriors 4-1 in their first encounter Dec. 14 at the Morrisville State IcePlex.

Hamilton, fourth in Division I-A and eighth overall (in the last playoff spot), has a great chance to improve its position in games against Central Square and Fayetteville-Manlius this week where it will be favored.

Girls hoops Lakers top J-E in battle of unbeatens

By Phil Blackwell Only twice this season has the Cazenovia girls basketball team played with its full lineup - and it has not mattered one bit.

The Lakers are 9-0 midway through its regular-season schedule and seized first place in the Onondaga High School League Liberty division last Thursday night when it closed strong and rallied past fellow unbeaten Jordan-Elbridge 5239 at Buckley Gym It helped, no doubt, that J-E, who entered the night at 7-0, played down the stretch without its all-state center, Molly Hourigan, who suffered a hyperextended knee falling to the court early in the fourth quarter. Without Hourigan to worry about, Cazenovia closed the game on a 202 run, holding the Eagles without a field goal in the last 7:39 of the game.

Of course, the Lakers could relate to J-E’s concerns about absent starters. It played for a month without senior forward Ashley Stec, and in Monday night’s 38-30 victory over Solvay, senior guard Raeanne Clabeaux missed the game due to illness.

Yet another missing starter threatened Cazenovia’s perfect mark on this night, as senior forward Ellen Burr was ill and could not play. Caroline Franz took Burr’s spot, just as she had filled in for Stec, and Franz, along with Stec and Maggie Carpenter, would take turns defending Hourigan, using double and triple teams when necessary.

Both teams made first-quarter runs, the Lakers opening with an 8-2 lead, the Eagles countering with eight straight points - four of them from Hourigan, whose imposing inside presence has led to triple-doubles in points, rebounds and blocks five different times this season.

Overall, Hourigan had 12 points in the first half - but Clabeaux and Stec earned seven points apiece, and Cazenovia led late in the first half before J-E moved back in front, 25-22, at halftime. The third quarter proved just as tight, the Eagles staying out in front because Kali Davis assumed the offensive burden.

When Davis hit on a 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter, Cazenovia trailed 37-32. Then Clabeaux converted a pair of free throws and Taylor Malmsheimer made her first basket of the night, cutting it to 37-36, and seconds later Hourigan went to the sidelines, not to return.

As any good team must do, Cazenovia took full advantage of Hourigan’s absence.

Clabeaux hit from all parts of the court, getting 10 of her 22 points in the fourth quarter, while Stec hit back-to-back baskets in the late going to improve her total to 13 points. Carpenter contributed eight points off the bench.

Three nights earlier, the Lakers, playing without an ailing Clabeaux, got a real scare from Solvay before rescuing itself late.

A rough first quarter saw just three points on both sides. Cazenovia, effective

again on the defensive side, finally saw some baskets go in during the second period as it seized a 17-10 lead.

Just as quickly, Solvay, led by Tessa Pucello (11 points) and Tiffney Guinta (10 points), came back, tying it 26-26 just before third period ended.

Only in the last quarter did Cazenovia move ahead for good, holding Solvay to four points. Burr led with 12 points, with Stec adding 10 points and Colleen Dougherty getting eight points.

While all this was going on, Cazenovia’s boys team split its two games, staring last Tuesday with a 58-37 loss to Solvay. From the time the Bearcats opened on an 18-6 run, the Lakers were playing catch-up. It closed within 25-19 by halftime, but Solvay took over again in the second half.

Tanner Whiteman, with 13 points, was the only Cazenovia player to reach double figures as Travis Mimms added six points.

Solvay saw John Savo get 12 points, Dan Aiello 11 points and Chuck St. Andrew 10 points.

The Lakers recovered Friday to beat Jordan-Elbridge 59-46, taking control by opening the game on a 21-4 run. The lead grew to 35-14 by halftime, and the Eagles never got close again as Whiteman and Mimms each had 12 points, with Doyle Judge (eight points) and Tom Toole (six points) close behind.
