Otisco imposes hydrofracking moratorium Supervisor hopes to protect town’s ‘pristine’ nature By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com
have a lacrosse program at the time, so the game was foreign to him. “I’d never played before, but I gave it a shot, and liked it right away,� he said. “It wasn’t uncommon to never have played before back then. Now, it’s much harder because the game is more widely played.� During Deegan’s junior year, a new player joined the team. His name: Rick Young. Young, of Marcellus, began playing lacrosse during ninth grade in Baldwinsville. He played for two years at SUNY Farmingdale before transferring to Cortland his junior year. During that year, 1975, the team won the NCAA Division II Championship title.
The Otisco Town Board passed a local sixmonth moratorium on hydraulic fracturing at its Dec. 13 meeting by a unanimous vote. The Otisco Lake Preservation Association approached all five towns on the Otisco Lake watershed requesting moratoriums. Marcellus, Tully and Onondaga town boards passed resolutions, while Spafford did not. Otisco’s moratorium was passed on the heels of Governor David Paterson’s executive order to prohibit horizontal hydraulic fracturing until July 1, 2011. “The governor had passed one earlier in the day, so this was more or less symbolic,� Otisco Town Supervisor Wayne Amato told the Observer. The town board is not staunchly opposed to hydrofracking — rather, it wants to make sure any drilling does not hurt the pristine, rural nature of the town, Amato said. He noted a consensus among residents for Otisco not to become highly developed. “It’s with caution that we proceed on any of these endeavors,� he said. Some town governments have expressed interest in researching ways to prevent drilling locally, such as regulating the roads or taxing the gas. Amato sees this as a waste of taxpayer dollars. “A lot of what happens may be made irrelevant by what [the DEC and EPA’s] actions are,� he said, adding that taxpayers’ money is “too valuable to waste on suppositions.�

Frank “Brud� Wilson Former Town Supervisor, beloved member of the community Frank T. Wilson, 77, a lifelong resident of Marcellus, died peacefully Friday afternoon Dec. 10, 2010, after a brief battle with cancer. Brud attended and was an avid supporter of the Marcellus school system. He served on the school board, and his wife Ricky and daughter Heidi have both taught for the school district for over 40 years combined. He attended Duke University, played as a walk-on basketball player for one year on the Bluedevils Basketball team, and was an avid Duke fan ever since. Brud served in the U.S. Army from 19521954 during the Korean Conflict and was stationed in Germany. See Wilson, page 2

Rick Young, left, and Bob Deegan don their gold medals after their July win at the FIL World Lacrosse Festival.
Longtime friends, coaches win international lacrosse title By Caitlin Donnelly cdonnelly@cnylink.com Rick Young and Bob Deegan began playing lacrosse together in college, and have continued to play ever since. This summer, 35 years later, the two friends shared a moment that any lacrosse player would dream of: a gold medal win at the World Lacrosse Festival. Deegan, of Camillus, first picked up a lacrosse stick in 1972 as a freshman walk-on at SUNY Cortland. His high school on Long Island didn’t
Marcellus volleyball handles CBA, J-E By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com With early control of the OHSL Liberty division on the line, the Marcellus girls volleyball team did not let a lack of practice time bother them too much. Instead, the Mustangs jumped all over Christian Brothers Academy in last Thursday night’s match, then got all the tough points to finish off
a three-set sweep of the Brothers. Marcellus used its power and precision to dominate the opener 25-11. CBA settled down, though, and played the Mustangs tight in each of the next two sets, nearly snatching both games. In each case, Marcellus still got the late points, taking the second set 26-24 and pulling out the third set 25-23 to clinch the match. See Volleyball, page 6

After graduating from Cortland, both men went on to careers in teaching and coaching. Deegan coached boys lacrosse for grades seven and eight in the West Genesee Central School District before becoming assistant varsity coach at West Genesee in 1984, where he continues to coach. Young was varsity coach at Christian Brothers Academy and assistant varsity coach at West Genesee before landing the role of head coach at Jordan-Elbridge High School, where he has coached for the past 30 years. Over the years, Deegan and Young have remained friends, playing pickup games at Shove Park and attending the Annual Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Classic festival with their families for the past 17 or 18 summers. They have also participated in the Florida Lacrosse Classic, held Martin Luther King weekend, as well as the 2006 World Lacrosse Festival, which was held in the city of London Ontario.

“Lacrosse is a really small fraternity,” Young said. “Everywhere you go, you know most of the players, and have played with them or against them in the past at some point.” This summer, the pair headed to Manchester, England, for the 2010 Federation of International Lacrosse World Lacrosse Festival held at the Manchester University Sports Grounds from July 17 to 22. The festival was held in conjunction with the FIL Lacrosse World Games. Deegan and Young played on the “Cloudsplitters” in the Super Grand Masters division, which consisted of twelve teams. The team was made up of twenty men, ages 55 and up, from the Syracuse and Albany areas, as well as Maine and New Hampshire. Their team colors were purple and gold, with an image of the Adirondack Mountains on the front. “The name Cloudsplitters has something to do with the High Peaks in the Adirondacks.

but we didn’t care, we just wanted to play lacrosse,” Young, 57, said with a laugh. The Cloudsplitters took home the gold medal in their age division in a sudden death win over the England Lions, 9 goals to 8. While their families were not able to travel with them due to cost, they were pleased by the turnout. Young’s wife Karen; daughter Jennifer, who played lacrosse in high school, and at Nazareth College; and step-son Ted McCrone were all excited about the gold medal. “Four years ago, Jennifer traveled with me to the festival in London, Canada, and she saw how difficult it was to win, so she was excited when we actually did,” he said. Young said he had some of his teammates sign his Cloudsplitters jersey, which he plans on mounting alongside the gold medal in a frame at his home. Deegan said his wife Susan; son Brian, who played lacrosse at West Genesee and later at Colgate; and daughter Maggie, who
also played lacrosse at West Genesee, were also “pumped” about the gold medal win with the Cloudsplitters. While at the festival, Deegan was also asked to help coach the Irish National Team, which came in ninth place in the FIL World Championships. “Lacrosse is a great game,” said Deegan, 56. “I’ve met some of the best people in my life – lifelong friends – through the game over the years.” The next FIL World Lacrosse Festival will take place in 2014 in Denver, Colo. Both Young and Deegan plan on participating. “God willing, of course,” said Deegan. Both Young and Deegan said the win has them “pumped” for the upcoming lacrosse season. While the J-E Eagles and the West Genesee Wildcats never play against each other due to different class sizes, you can follow each team’s coverage during the spring in the Eagle Observer.

Brud was dedicated to his community and its people. He worked tirelessly to improve the community. He was a member of the Marcellus Rotary for over 40 years. He served the town of Marcellus as Councilor (1978 until 1993) and was Town Supervisor from 1994 to 2003. Two of his greatest achievements during his tenure as supervisor were the transfer of the Marcellus Park from Onondaga County to the town of Marcellus, and laying the groundwork for the three water districts that have recently been completed for the town residents.

Town of Marcellus approves truck purchase The town board approved the purchase of a plow-equipped dump truck at $140,000 at its meeting Monday Dec. 13. Highway Superintendent Don MacLachlan said the town would save $24,000 by buying this particular truck, which had been sitting on the lot at Stadium International in Syracuse. He also said now was an opportune time to buy. “There’s new regulations coming for emissions and fuel which are going to raise the cost of the trucks anywhere from 10 to 20 thousand dollars,� MacLachlan said. The highway department has seven dump trucks, which tend to get replaced every 10 years — in this case, the outgoing truck has been used by the town for 11 years. Money for the purchase was included in the approved budget for 2011. The purchase approval had noth-

ing to do with the current weather conditions, though the record-breaking snow was heavy on MacLachlan’s mind as it continued to fall that night. “It’s been busy. Not much sleep,� he said. “We start all over tomorrow.�
‘Dog Law’ passes The town board held a public hearing to consider adopting a local dog law — the result of New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets handing all dog licensing responsibilities over to towns. The town has been issuing licenses for years. The state’s main tasks were sending out the initial license renewal reminder, and keeping track of dogs in a database. The state’s database will shut down, but the town of Marcellus already has its own in place. “It basically gives us the authority to do things that we’ve been doing on behalf of the state,� Supervisor Dan Ross said. The town raised the yearly licensing fee from $5.50 to $6 for altered dogs and from $13.50 to $14.50 for

Don Siegel, a Syracuse University professor and veteran hydrogeologist who spoke to guests before the moratorium was passed, said if drilling did take place, it would only affect the area for about a year. Gas and oil companies have secured about 170 leases on privately own land in Otisco. Still, Siegel doesn’t expect hydraulic fracturing, often referred to as hydrofracking, to come to the town anytime soon, considering that the Marcellus Shale gas quality here is not as high as in places closer to the Pennsylvania border. “They may lease, but I have a hard time thinking that they’re going to drill it in the near future,� he said. “The real pay zone is much, much closer to Pennsylvania.� OLPA President Anita Williams agreed with Amato that the moratorium was symbolic. She stressed the importance of protecting the water of Otisco Lake that so many rely on. “Towns in our watershed have taken a strong stand for all of us.  They are saying, slow down, let’s make sure if drilling is done, it is done safely and with the utmost respect for the environment and the safety of those we serve,� Williams said Siegel insists that hydrofracking does not pose a serious threat to surrounding water supplies. “The reason for the moratorium shouldn’t be related to fear of drinking water supplies being compromised in any fashion,� Siegel said. “If they have any concerns it should be how they’re going to handle perhaps some of

unaltered dogs. Town Clerk Karen Pollard said the town wanted to be prepared for additional postage fees incurred by the town. “Postage seems to be going up every year anyway,� Pollard said. No one spoke in favor of or against the dog law, which was passed unanimously by the board. Saying goodbye to Mr. Wilson Deputy Supervisor Frank Wilson, 77, passed away Friday Dec. 10 after a brief battle with cancer. Wilson was Marcellus Town Supervisor from 1994 to 2003. “With the unfortunate passing of Mr. Wilson we are without a deputy supervisor,� Ross said. The board appointed Councilor Tom Lathrop to Deputy Supervisor. Wilson’s obituary can be read on page 1. Wrapping up the year The board scheduled its year-end meeting for 5 p.m. Wednesday Dec. 29, to be followed by its organizational meeting for 2011.
the social issues.� Siegel attribute advocates against hydrofracking for bringing attention to the few instances where hydrofracking has failed – such as in Dimock, Penn., where in September 2009 an 8,000-gallon leak of hydrofracking fluids escaped into a fresh water stream. The Department of Environmental Protection attributed the failure to faulty well construction. Siegel said hydrofracking has gone through the necessary growing pains. “And the adversarial groups against hydrofracking have effectively gotten the gas industry to really pay attention to their practices, so when it’s being done now it’s being done more profoundly and environmentally safe compared to what it was done a couple years ago.� Siegel said groups like OLPA have also contributed to strong environmental safeguards in New York State. “But many of those safeguards will be unnecessary — way over the top,� he said. Amato highlighted some of the town of Otisco’s concerns related to hydrofracking, including any increases in industry that would cause taxes to increase. “Suppose there’s a lot of heavy duty truck traffic and it could affect the road systems. Our highway department could wind up having to do a lot of work fixing roads,� he said. Amato added that funding of the highway department makes up a good portion of the town’s budget. “If things increase there it could be significant,� he said.

JET still looking for drivers By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com The Jordan-Elbridge Transport program is in need of volunteer drivers – now more than ever. The town board recently signed on to join the Onondaga County Office of Aging, Centro/Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation and others in creating a coordinated transportation program – “United We Ride� – for seniors and the disabled. “The beauty of this type of coordination is that it will free up our vehicle to return to Elbridge and transport others while OSCAR (Onondaga Senior Call-A-Ride Service) completes a leg of our run, and it will save on fuel as well as wear and tear on the JET,� Councilor Rita Dygert said. To become involved, call Dygert at 689-9461 or the town clerk’s office at 689-9031. Year-end, organizational meetings scheduled The Elbridge Town Board will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 28 to pay bills and address other year-end business. The organizational meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 5, when the board plans to appoint a new board member to replace outgoing councilor George Betts. Betts was elected town justice in November. The board will also change its meeting dates to the second and fourth Thursday of the month for 2011.

Opinion Editorial
Let it snow, but drive safely Central New York has seen an incredible amount of snowfall already and winter has just begun. While we wish everyone safe travels during the holiday season, we also ask you to remember to exercise caution when our children return from their school break, especially considering this is when the weather typically worsens. Frigid winds, snow and ice trigger important winter weather safety reminders to motorists who share the road with school buses. Motorists should use extra precaution and allow plenty of room to stop when approaching or following a school bus as they make frequent stops loading and unloading students. While school buses are the safest way to get to and from school (nearly 10 times safer than walking to school and as much as 13 times safer than traveling in a passenger vehicle, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), parents also need to exercise extra safety measures during the winter months. Tell your children to follow these guidelines: Dress appropriately for cold, icy weather - warm coats, gloves, hats and waterproof footwear. Passengers should not wear clothes with toggles or dangling key chains as they can get caught in the bus doors or on the handrail. Stop, look and listen – Remaining alert is so important for school children. Hoodies, headphones and portable electronic devices can distract students from paying attention to surrounding traffic. Never run after the bus. Plan ahead and allow sufficient time to get to the bus stop. Wait for the bus to stop completely before approaching the bus to get on or before standing up to get off. Always use caution when stepping on or off the bus and at crosswalks. We wish you all a happy and safe holiday season. Source: First Student, Inc.

Searching for Christmas Going green for the holidays It was the first snowy day. I had gone to Skaneateles on Christmas related errands and found myself driving home on unplowed roads. I seemed to be alone on the road. There were no other vehicles in sight. I drove carefully, testing my tires on the new fallen snow. My adjusted speed brought me over what was familiar terrain slowly enough to appreciate the pristine landscape that the winter weather had created. The world was starkly beautiful, a composition in black and white, a road bordered with seemingly endless woods, all covered with clean, silent snow. Visual poetry. I thought of the words of Robert Frost: “Whose woods these are I think I know…” Simple, straightforward, accessible poetry that speaks to us all. In school we were taught that there were many levels of meaning to a poem, and that may be true, but for me this poem is first and foremost for everyone, not just the literati… the mystery of the woods, their beauty, their essence may be, on paper, the possession of a “someone,” they may have other more, esoteric meanings, but their existence … my vision of their loveliness at that moment cannot be ascribed to one person, to obscure meaning. These woods, in the soft light of a snowy afternoon, were transcendent. And I had promises to keep and miles to go… A second vision accompanied my Robert Frost thought… that of a young girl and a Christmas card that depicted a cottage in a
similar but fanciful wood, surrounded by trees iced in sparkling snow. She carried it with her wherever she went, propped it on her bedside table and made up stories about those who lived inside the glowing soft yellow window of the hut. It was a “never was” place that drove her imagination to wander through woods covered in pastedon silvery glitter and later to draw, to paint that scene. It was a place of safety, of peace, of warmth and comfort. It was a child’s, a little girl’s dreaminess of perfection, of pink and purple, of billowing party dresses and glitter on greeting cards. The little girl, me, saw in that greeting card, so much more than it depicted. It was a magic carpet to take her above the backyards of Brooklyn to a fairy tale place where her imagination could soar. And how do these two things relate to Christmas? Like those pristine woods and Frost’s words, Christmas is for all. Its meaning of peace and redemption is for all people of every faith, of every belief and disbelief. The Christmas card captured the innocence of that meaning. Without guile, politics or dissembling, our imaginations can see a world at peace, even if its beauty is only gluedon glitter in an imaginary scene that never was… an inspiration to build it, a motivation to create it in this world.
Dear Neighbors, As we gather our families and friends for the Christmas celebration, it’s a good reminder for everyone to remember to go green this holiday season. Onondaga County Resource Recovery asks that we do the following: 1) Recycle ALL the catalogs and newspaper inserts you get (won’t it make you feel good to do something productive with all that paper?) 2) When unwrapping presents, have two containers handy; one for recyclables (non-metallic wrapping paper, cards, envelopes, boxes) and one for items that can be reused or trashed (ribbons, bows, tissue paper, metallic/foil wrapping paper). Kids or adults can make a game out of separating the items, that way you don’t

need to sort anything later. 3) Recycle all the cardboard and packaging that gifts come in. Be sure to flatten the cardboard and trim it down to smaller pieces (3 feet by 3 feet) to make it more manageable for your hauler to collect. Please log onto ocrra. org for further information on how you can go green this holiday season. Merry Christmas to everyone and a healthy and happy New Year to you and yours. My door is always open. Please feel free to stop in, call my office at 488-1335 or e-mail me at macoogan@townofcamillus.com

From the mailbag The Friends of Dave Pirro thank you To the editor: As 2010 comes to a close, The Friends of Dave Pirro send a heartfelt thank you and wishes for a happy holiday season to the many supporters and contributors of this organization. 2011 will mark the 7th golf tournament named in memory of Dave Pirro whose untimely and tragic death brought forth this charitable event at the bequest of his father, Mike Pirro, of Solvay. Since that first tournament in 2005, over $170,000 has been raised to benefit local charities and organizations, including the Skaneateles and Marcel-
lus food pantries, Cystic Fibrosis, Vincent House, Skaneateles and Solvay high school scholarships, Vera House, SAVES, CNY Food Bank, Enable, Elmcrest Children’s Center and After the Ball… just to name a few. Countless other local organizations and individuals have received financial assistance from this annual golf tournament, which is held every year at the Skaneateles Country Club. A single mother with small children was provided with a desperately needed new fuel tank for their house, the Presbyterian Manor received funding to build a new porch, various children received summer tutoring or a stay at a summer camp, a child who
could not afford preschool tuition was provided with a scholarship, and several families will experience the magic of Christmas with our support to the Skaneateles Outreach Holiday Basket Program. Many families face medical setbacks, which result in financial and personal hardships, and assistance was provided for medical bills, insurance premiums or a much deserved family vacation. Two brothers suffering from Cerebral Palsy required surgery out of state and travel expenses incurred by the family were taken care of. A severely handicapped 6-year-old girl now has the help of a guide/service dog. Dave’s altruistic spirit
continues because of the unending support and actions of so many in our community. Similar to Dave’s “pay it forward” attitude, the Marcellus Girl’s Soccer Team was provided with financial assistance this past Spring so they could travel to New Orleans to help build houses for those still displaced by Hurricane Katrina. During this holiday season we remember Dave Pirro for his selfless generosity and good will and we wish all of our community a very happy and healthy new year.

Ludden, J-E girls both beat Marcellus
West Genesee hockey sweeps trio of foes By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Now that it no longer had to worry about a perfect record or protecting a long win streak, the West Genesee ice hockey team could just relax and focus on the games – and perhaps create a new streak in the process. As of now, that new win streak is at three, the key moment arriving Friday night at Shove Park when the Wildcats beat its neighbors from Solvay in a 5-2 decision. Solvay (with team members from Jordan-Elbridge, Marcellus and Westhill) just joined Division I as part of the state-ordered realignment. Still, this would be the only time the two sides would meet in the regular season. For two periods, it remained close, the defenses each making a wide series of stops. Rarely did either side break, but WG took a 1-0 lead, then traded goals in the next period as the outcome remained in doubt. Finally, the Wildcats got away, using its depth to wear down Solvay as it scored three times in the third period. Shawn Lynch, with a goal and three assists, anchored the attack as Nick Holzhauer found the net twice. Erik Kurz and Josh Duquette also converted, with Cody Ryan adding two assists and John Sabert getting an assist, too. As for the Bearcats, Tom Missert and Will Downs both scored, with David Graf, Tyler O’Mara and Ben Carrock earning assists. Ryan Bonk worked in goal and recorded 24

saves, twice that of WG counterpart Max Barone. Making its debut in the revamped Division I ranks last Tuesday night, the Wildcats went to Cicero Twin Rinks and wasted little time taking over in a 7-0 shutout of Fayetteville-Manlius. Before the first period was done, WG had already scored four times, more than what the defense needed. As had happened so many times in its 2009-10 state title run, WG’s back line shut down any F-M attack, holding the Hornets to a mere seven shots on goal. Meanwhile, Ryan LaVallee, with two goals, led a wellbalanced Wildcat attack. Holzhauer, Duquette and Lynch each had one goal and one assist, while Sabert and Tom Hanley also took turns finding the net. Jimmy Sauda had two assists. Kurz Rob Michel and Matt Schattner got assists, too. Stepping out of league play on Saturday, WG made it three straight wins by shutting out Potsdam 4-0, getting three goals in the first period to establish quick control. Jacob Pelton, taking his turn in the net, stopped all 17 shots he faced as Lynch scored twice and added an assist. Kurz had one goal and one assist as Sabert also converted. Duquette and Kurz got single assists. WG would be back at Cicero Twin Rinks Monday to face Central Square before meeting Ithaca Wednesday night at Shove Park. Solvay hosts F-M Tuesday at State Fair Coliseum before going to CNS on Thursday.
Boys hoops Wildcats roll to 3-0 Ludden tops Marcellus By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com True, the big challenges still lie ahead for the West Genesee boys basketball team. But it is already getting close to matching last season’s modest five-win total. The Wildcats are 3-0 under firstyear head coach Fred Kent, having dominated Blessed Virgin Mary in last Thursday’s home opener in a 90-30 decision. Fresh off its season-opening tournament victory in the Scranton (Pa.) area on Dec. 10 and 11, WG did not suffer too much for losing two practices last week to the winter snows. Against an overmatched Blessed Virgin Mary squad, the Wildcats steadily built a 46-22 halftime lead, then held the visitors to a cant eight points in the second half. Eric Spencer nearly matched BVM by himself, finishing with 25 points, mostly off 12 successful field goals. Mike LaValle hit five 3-pointers to account for most of his 17 points. Corey
Herrington finished with 11 points as Adam Wierbinski (eight points), Sean Howard (seven points) and Scott Sidnam (six points) made solid contributions. By stark contrast, West Genesee’s girls basketball team had a real struggle on that same night, going to Utica Proctor and losing to the Raiders 69-23 to fall to 1-2 on the season. The game got away in the second quarter. WG, down 16-9, could only watch as Proctor outscored them 22-3 the rest of the half. No single player got more than the five points put up by Marie Temara, Marissa Hudgins and Vicki Graveline. Meanwhile, Proctor senior Brianna Kiesel, her school’s all-time leading scorer (she’s going to Pittsburgh next year), had 17 points as teammate Barrie Brooks added 18 points. As WG’s girls rest until the Dec. 28-29 Marcellus Tournament, the boys Wildcats went for four in a row Tuesday, at Watertown, before getting ready for Bishop Ludden’s Rosemary Corcoran Holiday Classic, also on Dec. 27 and 28.
By Phil Blackwell Pat Donnelly insists that his Bishop Ludden boys basketball team did not have it easier when it returned to the Class B ranks and the OHSL Liberty division after uneven years in Class A and the Freedom division. “We’re not dropping down,” Donnelly said. “Top to bottom, it’s a better league (than the Freedom division).” Still, the Gaelic Knights are enjoying far more success in its new surroundings, as it moved to 3-0 on the season Tuesday night by putting together a 51-33 home victory over the Marcellus Mustangs in Geddes. By far, Ludden’s big concern on this night was how the team would respond a mere two days after beating one of the Liberty division favorites, Skaneateles, in the Holiday Classic at the Carrier Dome. And it had to take Marcellus seriously, since the Mustangs had won its opener Dec. 11 over Solvay in overtime. From an offensive standpoint, the Gaelic Knights did let down a bit, not See Knights, page 6
Perhaps it’s a stretch to consider the second game of a season as a turning point – but the Bishop Ludden girls basketball team would not mind it. Trailing Marcellus in last Tuesday night’s game, and staring at a possible 0-2 start in the hyper-competitive OHSL Liberty division, the Gaelic Knights made a strong late push and beat the Mustangs by a score of 57-54. Ludden, who had lost its opener 53-38 to Cazenovia on Dec. 10, fell behind 16-11 as Marcellus appeared to have momentum from its Dec. 11 win over Bishop Grimes carry over. For the next two periods, the Mustangs remained productive, but could not get away despite forward Melissa Lee earning 20 points and Emily Brissette adding 12 points. And in the final period, the Gaelic Knights, down 45-43, moved out in front, then held on behind a superb performance from Nicole Granteed. By the time she was done, Granteed had 24 points, a new career mark, as she camped at the foul line and made 14 free throws. Lauren Roy chimed in with 12 points, while Kelly Granteed and Kayla Kibling earned seven points apiece. The Mustangs had to go from this game to facing league favorite Jordan-Elbridge (coached by Marcellus alum Leslie Ahern) on Friday night. And the Eagles were ready, putting away the Mustangs 69-46. Taking charge right away, J-E outscored Marcellus 19-5 in the first quarter and kept on pulling away, eventually gaining a 57-29 edge by the end of the third quarter. Molly Hourigan continued to sparkle, the senior center pouring in 28 points as Kali Davis added 17 points. Erin McLaughlin and Grace Dungey each had six points. Lee, struggling in Hourigan’s presence, had just six points as Brissette got 15 points and Jessie Nye added 11 points.
West Genny wrestlers dominate ITC By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Two days after a scheduled meet with Cicero-North Syracuse got snowed out, the West Genesee wrestling team did compete on Friday night, dominating Institute of Technology Central (the team composed of Syracuse city wrestlers) by a score of 58-13. Other than that, the Wildcats kept quiet, with just one more event left in 2011 as it heads to Central Square’s Brett Dixon Memorial Tournament on Dec. 29. Marcellus, who saw its own showdown with Skaneateles snowed out on Wednesday, went to Saturday’s Tiger Duals and Onondaga and emerged with a 3-2 mark. The Mustangs edged East Syracuse-Minoa 38-36 and had more comfortable wins over host Onondaga (56-22) and APW/Pulaski (46-35), but lost a tight 40-39 match to Mohawk and also fell to Central Square 69-13. Marcellus would host Herkimer Tuesday night. Jordan-Elbridge also saw its scheduled match with Hannibal last Wednesday postponed by the snow, but it hopes to face Cazenovia on Wednesday before going to the same Dixon meet at Central Square with West Genesee.

helped by the fact that guards Kelly Beaudoin and Matt Rogers both picked up three fouls in a sloppy, uneven first half. What helped was that Ludden’s defense, right from the start, caused all kinds of problems for Marcellus. Mixing in man-to-man and zone looks, the Gaelic Knights never gave the Mustangs much room and especially frustrated Steve Raven, who had just one point in the first half after accounting for 28 points against Solvay. Despite this shutdown, Marcellus only trailed 25-14 at the half, and Raven got six points in the third quarter

A steady first half saw Marcellus move ahead 40-29, but it saved the big run for the third quarter, where it flattened J-E 28-6 to settle matters. Raven, with 23 points, connected on three of the Mustangs’ eight 3pointers on the night. Kyle Hastings had 14 points, while Geoff Crysler (12 points) and Chaz Hayes (11 points) also reached double figures. On J-E’s side, Tyler Richardson led with 13 points.

As the reigning boys swimming power in Central New York, the West Genesee boys swim team began the 2010-11 season riding a 21-meet win streak. Make that 22 in a row, as the Wildcats had its snow-delayed opening meet last Friday night, at Nottingham, and beat the Bulldogs by a score of 93-81. WG was supposed to open against Nottingham Dec. 9, but that meet, plus a contest against Fayetteville-Manlius (at that same Nottingham pool where the Section III championships take place) got postponed by the record snowfall. So the Wildcats were eager to get started, and did so with Ben Seketa, Carson Elias, Ian Bushnell and Brendan Marks combin-
ing for a swift time of 1:41.49 in the 200 medley relay. Seketa wasn’t done, of course. He tore through the 200 individual medley in 1:58.96, then had a strong 500 freestyle, too, as he finished in 4:50.78, more than a minute ahead of the field. Marks would prove victorious in the 100 freestyle in 53.44 seconds, this after Elias dazzled in the 100 butterfly, outdueling Nottingham’s Joey Guy, 53.44 seconds to 54.68. Elsewhere, Josh Byrne accumulated 246.90 points in diving, while Collin Zapisek earned first place in the 200 freestyle in 1:56.90. Pat Guy took the 50 freestyle in 24.54 seconds as Jake Mullett held off Tyler Zapisek (who was also second in the 200 IM) to win the 100 breaststroke in 1:06.69.
