Lockport puck opens at new rink Nick Sabato
SPORTS REPORTER
It has been nearly 30 years since the Lockport hockey team had a place to call home. The last time that the Lions had a building in Lockport to call home was 1986, but that has all changed with opening of Cornerstone CFCU Arena on Chestnut Street. Lockport finally took the ice at its new home on Dec. 12 against Niagara Falls on a night that was much bigger than the outcome of the game for the program. Having a home arena eliminates so many hassles for coaches, players, parents and fans to attend games. And it was a long time coming. “They were so nervous today,” said Lockport head coach Rick Eberhart. “They were beside themselves. This is historic. Our superintendent was here, our athletic director was here and our community was here. I can’t explain how excited they were.” The addition of an ice rink could make an impact on Lockport’s program sooner rather than later. No longer do the players and coaches have to board a bus just to practice. No longer do the players have to board a bus to play a game in which they are the home team on the scoreboard. “Now that we have a rink in Lockport I think it’s going to be a feeder program for our high school program,” said Eberhart. “Give us five years, we’ll be stronger than most schools. Now that we have our own rink, people are going to want to play. They’re not going to start in 10th grade like they do now; they are going to start at five or six. By the time they get to ninth grade, they will know how to play hockey.” For the current players, it was an opportunity to play in front of a home crowd for the first time in their high school careers, which is something that athletes in every other sport have never had to worry about. It may not seem like a big deal to many people, but when it has never happened before, it is as exciting as any experience in high school athletics. One of those players is junior forward John Ottaviano, who not only scored two goals on the night, but his father, also named John, was one of the biggest advocates to build the rink. “The fans were great,” said Ottaviano. “It really helped. Having a home rink to practice every day helps a lot. We just really worked together.” The hockey program, which has struggled in recent years, finally became the talk of the school, which gave the players some deserved excitement. “Everyone was talking about it at school two weeks before,” said Ottaviano. “It’s just a lot better than having to drive a half-hour for all of the fans.”

The Newfane wrestling team has established itself as a threat in Section VI early this season after winning tournaments at Tonawanda and Orchard Park.
Newfane wrestling wins OP tourney By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
You couldn’t ask for a better start to the wrestling season than what Newfane has put together. The Panthers have already taken home tournament cham-
pionships at Tonawanda and Orchard Park High Schools to establish themselves as a big threat in Section VI this season. Newfane will enjoy the wins, but it knows that it still has a long season ahead as NiagaraOrleans League dual meets approach. “It was our goal to go there and win it,” said Newfane head coach Sal Montesanti. “It keeps our momentum going after Tonawanda, but we realized that we still have a lot of work because there
were a couple of N-O teams behind us and our win margin wasn’t that much. As much as we are happy and celebrating, we know we have to get a lot better, because we made a lot of mistakes.” Many teams would see this as a big step towards becoming a sectional contender, but the Panthers aren’t thinking about that. They just want to keep getting better. “We are not thinking about sectionals right now, to be honest,” said Montesanti. “Our goal right now is that
we want to pick things up in our practice room. We have to become a better wrestling team and that’s what we are focused on right now. “When matches come, we are going to do our best and win everything we can, but right now we decided it’s time to pick things up because there is a lot of room for improvement on this team.” At the Orchard Park Tournament, Newfane got first place finishes from five different wrestlers including Zack Brown, Andrew Ge-
lyon, Charlie Johnstone, Jake Kubala and Cyrus Simmons. The Panthers also got second place finishes from Paul Dunbar, Devin Maurer, Adam Nowicki and Ross Tester. Despite such a strong showing, even the wrestlers believe that they have to continue to get better. That was echoed by Gelyon, who also took home the Tonawanda Tournament title earlier this season.

Rams off to hot start under first-year coach By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
It’s supposed to be a rebuilding year for Roy-Hart. The Rams entered the season with a brand new coach, one returning starter and the task of replacing over 80 percent of the their scoring from a year ago. But that hasn’t stopped Roy-Hart from getting off to a fast start. The Rams have won two of their first three games. One of the biggest reasons for the early success has been on the defensive end of the court. The Rams have allowed just 47 points per game. “The key would definitely be defense,” said Roy-Hart head coach Joe Pawlak. “Defensively, we are doing a heck of a job right now and we are playing tough. It’s just a tough team, they are working hard and when you combine a great group of kids that are playing de-
fense and playing their tails off, good things can happen. “Now we just have to keep it going. That’s the trick.” Roy-Hart has certainly been resilient in the early portion of the season, erasing a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat OakfieldAlabama in double overtime on Dec. 9 and then coming from behind on the road to beat Tonawanda on Dec. 11. The will to not give up in games can almost certainly be attributed to the new culture and foundation that Pawlak is attempting to build in his first season at the helm. It is something that the players, especially the upperclassmen, have taken notice of already and it seems to be a breath of fresh air for them. “I like the coaching this year,” said senior Aaron Metz. “It’s a big difference, it’s more upbeat. He’s added a lot of confidence for us this year. There is a winning attitude and he lifts us up when we are down in a game.” That also seems to be spreading throughout the school and into the community as the Roy-Hart gymnasium saw a very full crowd for the Rams’ home-

Spartan rollers more experienced entering 2nd season By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Last year, Starpoint fielded a bowling team for the first time in school history. That season was met with success and the Spartans are hoping to continue that this year as the squad’s numbers are about the same as they were the year before and interest in the sport seems to be trending up within the school. The roster consists of 14 girls and 10 boys, which in total is around the same as a season
ago, but there were a higher number of boys. Starpoint practices and plays each match at Brad Angelo’s South Transit Lanes in Lockport, which has been a big convenience both financially and because they have been able to use the teaching tools and experience of the owner. “Brad [Angelo] has a ton of teaching tools in his pro shop,” said Starpoint head coach Christopher Prezioso. “He really helped me out last year with being able to work with the kids and it’s a unique sport because it’s the kids against the pins. There are people who are beginners and kids that are averaging 185 so I try to focus individually on what their needs are because it’s such a wide range. Some of them need the real basic
tools and others just need some adjustment with their speed and marks because they are advanced.” Last year, Starpoint had Samantha Rabatin, who consistently bowled over 185, but this year, there is a lot of consistency across the board on the girls side. Junior Kymberlin Enright projects to be one of the top bowlers on this season’s Spartan team. She believes that she has some improving to do as the season goes along, but her experience in bowling over the years and her calmness under pressure should help her. “I feel like I’m not improving as well this year,” said Enright. “I just need to slow down. I’m rushing a lot. I like the pressure though. I don’t mind it.” Junior Amanda Klamut and
senior Lexi Peters also project to be in the top four for each match for Starpoint regularly, while senior Megan Smith has shown a great deal of improvement from last year to jump up into that top four grouping. The boys have gotten a boost from a former basketball player, Alex Lubner, who decided to try his hand at bowling after injuries derailed his career on the hardwood. Lubner has bowled since he was a child, but the idea of playing a more organized form of bowling intrigued him and he should be one of the key members of the team this year. “I started around 6,” said Lubner. “I bowled with my mom in an adult-child league for years and I decided that after bowling for so many
years to try a more organized approach towards the game.” Bowling is a bit more individualized than basketball is, and that is something that Lubner has been adjusting to. While basketball is a complete team game, bowling has a team aspect, but is more about the player against the pins than anything else. “The biggest difference is while it’s a team sport, it’s more oriented around perfecting your own game than it is working with a team,” said Lubner. “You have to find what you are doing wrong and just work individually and take it step-by-step. If I have a bad approach, I’ll work on that for a day and make myself the best I can be at each aspect of the game.” Lubner will be joined by
fellow senior Eric Facklam, junior Drake Matthews and freshman Brett Steuer in the top four of most games for Starpoint. Aaron Stabler could crack that top four by the end of the season as well. Steuer may have had the biggest improvement from last year, due in large part to his love for bowling, which he does five to six times per week. “Probably the biggest improvement for the boys has been Brett Steuer from eighth grade to ninth grade,” said Prezioso. “The kid just loves bowling. He bowls five to six times per week. His dad constantly brings him. He has probably made the biggest jump.” Starpoint will have its next match Jan. 5 against Williamsville East.
Ease of commute a Johnstone wins at 126, impresses coach bonus of new rink “Panthers” from page B1
“Home” from page B1 The experience will be limited in the future for some of the upperclassmen, but the younger players have the rest of their high school careers to play home games in Lockport. They will never have to know what it was like to play home games at an opposing team’s rink or to have fewer fans than an opponent nearly every time out. “It’s huge,” said sophomore Ryan Boci. “Last year when we played, it was a 25-minute drive and it’s a 5-minute drive. We have a lot of people coming out to these games and I’m looking forward to it. I have three more years to play here.” One of the other built-in
bonuses of having Cornerstone CFCU Arena is for the parents, as they don’t have to worry about picking up their kids from practice. Lockport takes the ice for practice at 5:30 a.m., which can be unpleasant for many, but the school provides a bus from the rink to school following the morning skate. “We practice until 6:50,” said Boci. “We have a bus that goes to the school and it’s a lot better than going to Wheatfield every day.” Despite the fact that Lockport dropped its first true home game in nearly 30 years to Niagara Falls, 103, the outcome of the night went beyond the score.
“We are not happy,” said Gelyon. “There were definitely some tough teams at these tournaments, but we are striving for a sectional title. I want to go to states this year; there are some serious kids that we have to beat.” One impressive showing at the Orchard Park Tournament came from eighth grader Charlie Johnstone at 126 pounds. Montesanti believed that he wrestled very well at the tournament and took home a well-deserved championship medal. “He wrestled very well,” said Montesanti. “He’s only an eighth grader and he had one of the tougher weight classes. He ended up winning it and beating a couple of tough kids along the way. He had a good tournament.

Members of the Lockport Stingrays keep warm between heats. From left to right: Luke St. Amore, Ramsey Ross and McKenzie Ross. The Lockport YMCA Stingrays traveled to Maryvale High School last Saturday and swam their best meet of the season. In a three-way meet that included Olean and Independent Health, coach Tim Menges had his swimmers in high gear, and they responded with personal best times virtually across the board. “We are extremely proud of all of our swimmers today. Even those that didn’t end up in first still put up some very impressive times,” Menges said. “It truly shows how hard these young men and women are working.” Mark Crocker and Madelyn Timkey posted personal best
times in all three of their individual events. Already qualified for states, Crocker continues to improve with three first place finishes (200 free, 100 free, & 50 back), while Timkey’s top times were swam in the 100 IM, 50 free, and 50 back. In more first place finishes, Luke Menges dropped an amazing 9.24 seconds off his 50 fly and 5.92 seconds off his 200 free. Luke Genewick crushed his 100 IM time by over 10 seconds. Other first place finishers notching personal bests were: Gina Artieri (200 IM), Riley Adams (200 IM & 100 free), Ava Thompson (100 IM), Jes-
sica Sacco (100 fly), Madison Fragale (100 free & 50 breast), Laurel Creamer (25 free), Zackary Santarsiero (25 fly), Ryan Santarsiero (50 breast), Lauren Quirk (100 free), Jack Strong (100 free), and Liam Timkey (25 breast). Coach Menges also noted the efforts of Angela Papiernik and McKenzie Ross. Papiernik shaved off a few seconds in both the 50 free and 50 breast, while Ross was noted to swim a strong second leg of the 200 free relay. The Stingrays next travel to Rochester for an Invitational Meet on Dec. 27-28, and will then be home on Jan. 10 at Lockport High School (1 p.m.).
It may not be a current mainstream sport, but badminton certainly has a following and players are as dedicated as any athlete in any sport. The fact that badminton is not quite as prevalent as football or basketball is the exact reason why Rally Niagara Badminton Club was founded. Mike and Cara Hacker have enjoyed playing the sport for years and they wanted to find a way for their children to play competitively. The result? Founding Rally Niagara in 2011. “My wife and I really enjoyed playing badminton,” said Mike Hacker. “We loved playing with our kids in the backyard, but there is not an outlet for the kids to play. For instance, through Ken-Ton Community Education, they won’t allow kids to play, it’s just adults. So we said, ‘let’s start our own badminton club and we can work with the kids and any other kids interested.’” The club started in March 2011 with only a handful of kids, including the Hackers’four sons, Daniel, David, Jonathan and Joshua. Now, the club consists of 38 kids ranging in age from 5 to 17. Members meet for a few hours on Sunday afternoons at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in North Tonawanda. Rally Niagara also hosts singles and doubles tournaments that are open to the public, which brings in kids from schools such as Mount St. Mary, Sacred Heart, Rochester and even some from Canada. Those tournaments
have netted as many as 65 participants. Growth in any club or business is essential in staying afloat, and one of the biggest ways that Rally Niagara has grown is through word of mouth. “The best advertisement is word of mouth,” said Hacker. “Once people find out this is a great program, they enjoy playing badminton, then their kids come with them. After a lot of the kids’ classes, we have found it very successful to have the parents bring their sneakers and they can play their kids afterwards.We advertise at a lot of schools and open houses around the area.” If you go to a Rally Niagara class on a Sunday afternoon, your kids will be taught by six regular instructors that have played and been around badminton for years. Hacker is joined by Zhengrong “Ziggy” Xu, who has been involved in club play in Canada since 2008, as the basic youth instructor. Hetram Sookdeo began playing badminton in Guyana, South America as a teenager and even won the country’s U16 tournament. Christina Malyn Gossett began playing after watching her father play in the National Senior Games Association Badminton championships and fell in love with the sport. Together they are the intermediate youth instructors. NavinAgrawal is the advanced youth instructor, and he has played competitively for over 15 years after overcoming physical obstacles as a teenager. The high performance instructor is Alex Sung, who began playing badminton with his siblings in the backyard.
“We also have a network of about four others that help fill in if somebody is missing, so we have a lot of dedicated volunteers that have a lot of passion for badminton,” Hacker said. “All of the volunteers and coaches are all good badminton players. They play in local tournaments and they are very experienced. We are lucky to have them.” Many of the kids that are members of Rally Niagara have taken the skills taught to them to play in tournaments nearToronto, which is a hotbed for badminton. Finding a place to play can always be difficult for a budding club, but that has not been the case for Rally Niagara, since the Hackers have had a longstanding relationship with St. Matthew’s. “My son went to this school,” said Hacker. “We have been really blessed, we have a great relationship with St. Matthew’s and they blessed us with a gym about four years ago. Sunday is a great day because there is not a lot of conflict. It’s just a great relationship that we have here.” One thing that the Hackers would like to continue to do is to spread the word about the sport of badminton and to show how great of a sport that it can be. “That’s what the success is all about — having the kids have fun, have goals to shoot for such as the tournaments, that’s the kind of thing we want to continue to share with the kids.” Rally Niagara finished part of its season on Dec. 14 with a doubles tournament, but it will resume instruction in January. Fees for open badminton are $3 for children and $5 for adults, while the cost for youth instruction is $35 per session.

Brunswick wins Wilson Tip-Off
Wilson girls’ success attracts strong competition
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Wilson is home to many historical landmarks and expensive boats that are launched each summer in the harbor, but not many people are aware of how big basketball is there. The Lakemen have hosted a boys basketball tip-off tournament on-and-off for nearly 15 years, and over the last couple of years, it has begun to attract many of the major programs in Western New York and beyond. Teams such as Canisius, St. Mary’s of Lancaster and even teams from outside New York have participated over the years. Most schools that host a tournament put themselves in a position to win it annually, but for Wilson, it is about attracting good competition and programs to the impressive Zipp Gymnasium. That was no different as the Lakemen hosted their tip-off tournament consisting of Brunswick (Ohio), South Park and Niagara-Wheatfield from Dec. 12-13. “We have won very few games in this tournament and we have only won it once,” said Wilson head coach Brett Sippel. “We also get really good teams in to challenge ourselves. We have had a really good lineup of teams and we like to make it competitive.” When you can attract such high-quality programs to attend your tournament, especially when they have their pick of the litter each season,

Zach Sarratori, pictured during a game against Barker last year, and the Wilson boys basketball team hosted their annual tip-off tournament last weekend. Wilson won the consolation bracket by defeating Niagara-Wheatfield. it says how impressive the school, the facility and the program is. Wilson may have been down in the standings of the Niagara-Orleans League the last few seasons, but other schools are aware of how strong its tradition of basketball is. “I think teams love coming here,” said Sippel. “We have a great facility, the gym is beautiful and teams love that. They like the competition, they like the people here and I think they feel like it’s a great tournament and want to come back every year.” Brunswick, which is a 2,500-student public high school just outside of Cleveland, has made the trip to play in the tournament on multiple occasions. One particular reason why is the connection between Sippel and Brunswick head coach Joe Mackey, which goes back to the pair being college roommates at Baldwin Wallace
University in Ohio. The tournament gives Mackey an opportunity to see his old friend and it gives his players and their families the chance to see Niagara County and its many landmarks. “Team bonding is one of the reasons we come out,” said Mackey. “We’ve played here and at the Cataract Classic. It gives me the opportunity to see Brett and it gives the kids to see one of the most incredible sites in the United States that they may never see again.” While there are some nonbasketball related reasons as to why Brunswick chooses to come so frequently, they have been tested frequently in the tournament. Canisius was able to nip them in the past and they also gotten strong challenges from St. Mary’s, so the potential to play competitive basketball will always be part of the equation. “We like to travel once a
year; it brings the kids closer together,” Mackey said. “Last year, we were invited to play in the Ohio vs. Kentucky Challenge, but the kids really liked this trip and liked the area. We have had some good games here. …We will always come back.” Getting the quality competition has not been an issue for Wilson in the past, obviously, and once a team comes, it enjoys the experience and wants to come back. While there was a lot of talent on display over the course of two days, Brunswick was too much to handle for the other three teams in the field this year. Brunswick took home the tournament championship after defeating Wilson in the first round and South Park in the title game, with Wilson defeating Niagara-Wheatfield in the consolation game. NateArmagost of Brunswick was named the tournament Most Valuable Player.
Xapsos accounts for 42 percent of scoring “Fast Start” from page B1 While Roy-Hart has gotten off to a good start in the Pawlak era, the Rams know that there is still room for improvement. Pawlak has seen his team reach some of the goals that he had set early in the preseason, but now he wants them to continue that throughout the year and remain consistent. “We have established a lot of things that I wanted to establish,” said Pawlak.
“The hard work, the hustle, the energy, the teamwork, the togetherness, believing in themselves, the positive attitude and all that are all standards that we work for. Now it has to be consistent. Three games is one thing, but we need to do it throughout the season and into sectionals and beyond.” Pawlak also wants to see a progression in the play on the offensive end,
and he knows that he has to play a major role in that too. The Rams have been a one-man show on offense at times as point guard Andy Xapsos has accounted for 42 percent of the team’s points so far. As a result, Pawlak will be looking to run some more sets to get others involved so that they don’t have to rely so much on one player.
“Right now I want to run whatever play puts the ball in the basket,” said Pawlak. “We are struggling to score. We need to get out in transition to manufacture points that way. Offensive rebounding, whatever way we can put the ball in the bucket is what I want to run right now.” Roy-Hart closes out the calendar year with a home game against Alden on Dec. 23.
The Wilson girls basketball team has won four sectional championships in the last five years. It is 80-4 in Niagara-Orleans League play since Brian Baker took over as head coach in 2009-2010. When the topic of the top programs in Western New York comes up, the Lakewomen are rarely in the conversation, due in large part to the geographical location of the school. However, when Wilson hosts its annual tip-off tournament, it is clear how much respect it has from its peers as some of the area’s top programs participate. “My philosophy has been to bring in tough competition,” said Baker. “Let’s bring in schools that haven’t been down here to see our facilities and to see what we are all about. …At the end of the day we are trying to get our team recognized by some teams that might not see us in the regular season.” Baker and athletic director Jeffrey Roth hit a home run with the teams that they brought in for the 2014 Wilson Tip-Off Tournament. Lewiston-Porter and traditional Monsignor Martin League powers Mount Mercy and Nichols joined the Lakewomen in the four-team field on Dec. 11 and 13. The fact that those schools, which could have chosen to
play in any tournament that they wanted, opted to participate shows the respect that Wilson has accrued over the years. “I think it’s great,” said Baker. “These are schools that are reaching out to us to come to our tournament. For me, that is a credit to the girls working hard in our program.” The Lakewomen played strong for three quarters before Nichols’ size overwhelmed them in the first round. The loss pitted a matchup between the Lady Vikings and Mount Mercy in the finals. After a rough second quarter that only netted Mercy one basket, the Magic was able to claw its way back to win the championship. Given the competition in the tournament, it was a big early-season achievement for the team. “It’s huge,” said Mercy head coach John Glose. “This was our first goal — to win the Wilson Tournament. The girls went out and worked extremely hard for the win. This tournament is extremely well-run. The facilities are great.” As far as attending the tournament, Mercy chose to do so because of how strong Wilson has been in recent years. It provided the Magic with an opportunity to come challenge itself early in the season, which is a testament to how revered the program and tournament are. “We knew Wilson is always a strong basketball program so we wanted to challenge ourselves to come out here and compete,” Glose said. Emily Sheehan of Mt. Mercy was named tournament MVP after scoring 12 points in the final, while Wilson defeated Lew-Port in the consolation game.
Starpoint 2nd-grader stands out as gymnast
Holiday ‘wish list’ not limited to kids By Mike Haim
SPORTS COLUMNIST
At this time of year, in a variety of locations from coast to coast, kids are lining up to have a chat with Santa Claus and relay what’s on their Christmas wish list. But why limit it to the kids? I’ve long have been alarmed at the number of school-age kids who no longer visit with Santa, thinking they’re too cool to be part of a timehonored tradition. I was personally horrified years ago when my own son, perhaps around age seven, seemed to be the oldest kid in line. So in the spirit of the season, I’m taking the tradition back and have made a sports-related list of things I’d tell Santa I’d want this Christmas: First, I’d like to see one of our local college basketball teams pull off an upset of a nationally-renowned program. UB almost did it
against top-ranked Kentucky a few weeks ago and will have another kick at a highlyregarded opponent when they travel to Wisconsin for a Dec. 28 game. St. Bonaventure took Pitt down to the wire this past Saturday, nearly ending the Panthers’ 25-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents. There are a wealth of stories about some upstart program recording a significant victory against a powerhouse, so why can’t we enjoy that kind of moment for a change? Next, I’d like to have some sort of personal epiphany which leads me to either love or loathe UB’s mission to become identified as “New York.” I’m still ambivalent about the idea, since I think the state needs a true representative on the national athletic stages but I also don’t want to see the university’s civic identity get compromised. I tend to think that most universities with a state moniker are
located in smaller communities (think Michigan and Ann Arbor, Missouri and Columbia, Kentucky and Lexington, etc.), so it doesn’t make sense for Buffalo to make itself seem smaller. But the idea of having New York City-based alumni become a force in fund-raising and awareness is irresistible. At some point I’d like there to be an overwhelming reason to commit to an opinion either way. Next, I’d like to see fewer kids get saddled with terminal illnesses. While this doesn’t appear to be a sports-related wish, it becomes one when I see what seems to be a constant parade of teams and individual stars offering wonderful, heartwarming experiences to children who have been dealt a devastating prognosis. Bad news is a fact of life, and organizations such as “Make a Wish” have tried to make tragic journeys more palatable, but I’d like to see a day when this sort of outreach
isn’t necessary. Next, as someone who’s been involved in “behind the scenes” aspects of sports for over 30 years, I’d like to reflect more often on how lucky I’ve been to be part of the local sports scene. There are times when I’ll walk into a venue or leave an event and get that chill down my spine and remind myself about how many other people would love to be in my shoes. But those feelings always seem to pale in comparison to how I felt when I was a kid, getting my formative tastes of sporting events and feeling like nothing in the world mattered like that day’s game. Age may somewhat dull the senses, but I’d love to recapture the innocence of my youth and suspend worry about “real world” issues. It’s kind of like the holiday season itself: may we all tap into the wonder of it like we’re kids again. www.twitter.com/mikehaim

FROM the SIDELINES A time of the year for giving: Bills distribute gifts, wins By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR
Buffalo Bills long snapper Garrison Sanborn fondly remembers what it was like to be a kid during the holidays. “I was a kid once,” Sanborn began. “It’s a blast to get gifts.” That’s why Sanborn decided to give a few of his own recently. Sanborn, a sixth-year NFL veteran, was one of a host of Buffalo players to participate in the Bills Toyota Rookie Club’s annual holiday party for children on Tuesday, Dec. 9, inside a winter wonderland-themed Jim Kelly Club at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Over 100 children from 10 local organizations were invited to attend the event. Children from each organization submitted a holiday wish list before the party,
and Bills players — Sanborn included — distributed bags full of gifts to everyone of them. Sanborn, who’s taken part in the event since his rookie year, said seeing how excited the kids were made participating more than worth his while. “There’s nothing like it, seeing kids happy,” Sanborn said. “It’s just a regular day to try and bring a smile to their face, and that’s why we’re here. I know I’ll keep coming as long as I’m [in Buffalo].” And Sanborn wasn’t alone. Bills running back C.J. Spiller, who has also taken part in the event since his first NFL season in 2010, was also in attendance and agreed that making kids happy is something he and his teammates strive to do. “The biggest thing is just seeing the smiles on their

Buff State hockey downs Johnson & Wales BUFFALO, NY—Jason Zaleski (Scranton, PA/Scranton) scored three times and Ryan Salkeld (Virginia Beach, VA/Churchland) tallied four points to lead Buffalo State (3-6-2) to a 5-3 victory over visiting Johnson & Wales (55-1) in a non-conference game today at the Ice Arena. Salkeld opened the scoring with just over three minutes remaining in the opening period when he forced a turnover just inside the Wildcats’ blue line and buried the breakaway attempt. Johnson & Wales drew even, but Zaleski’s first of the game reclaimed the lead for Buffalo State with just 20 seconds remaining in the opening frame. Salkeld gave the Bengals a 3-1 lead with his second of the game and fifth of the season on the power play early in the
second period, but the Wildcats answered again with a power-play tally of their own. Zaleski’s second just under a minute later pushed the lead to two again, but JWU closed the deficit to 4-3 late in the middle stanza. Buffalo State allowed just five shots in the third period, all in the closing minutes, and Zaleski scored his third of the game and fifth of the season on the empty net to seal the victory. Ian Sylves (Sloan, NY/ JFK) finished with 20 saves in the victory as the Bengals outshot the Wildcats, 25-23. The Bengals finished 1 for 6 on the power play, and JWU was 1 for 3. Buffalo state will break for the holidays before facing Neumann in the first round of the Norxqwich Tournament in the New Year on Jan. 2.
Wallace, Edwards guide Bengals past RIT BUFFALO, NY – Senior Ashley Wallace (Lockport, NY/Starpoint) poured in a team-high 23 points to lead Buffalo State women’s hoops (4-4) to a 74-66 non-conference victory over RIT (5-3) on Saturday afternoon in Sports Arena. Keyonte Edwards (Buffalo, NY/O’Hara) recorded a career-high 12 rebounds, pacing, the Bengals defense and tallied eight points.
Buffalo State finished the night shooting 39.1 percent (25-64) from the floor, 44.4 percent (4-9) from long range and 55.6 percent (20-36) from the charity stripe. The Bengals also recorded 14 fast break points and outrebounded the Tigers, 58-38. The Bengals returned to action Monday at Pitt-Bradford, where they lost, 77-68. Wallace had her third double-double of the season.
faces,” he said. “Growing up, most guys didn’t have this opportunity to have NFL players hand them Christmas presents. So for us to be able to be put on a platform and be able to give back to the community, it means a lot, but most important, it means more to the kids, just to see them smiling.” Smiles turned into super duper smiles during the latter stages of the gift-giving. With tree-side gifts becoming sparse and a handful of children yet to receive one, a group of Bills players emerged from another room riding bicycles. And the child-sized bikes certainly weren’t for 6-foot-4, 310-pound center Eric Wood or 6-foot5, 343-pound guard Cyril Richardson. They were for the kids, an announcement that drew both laughter and applause from party-goers. “It was great to see,” Sanborn said. Throughout the evening, children got a chance to dine and engage in conversation with Bills players. Rookie cornerback Ross Cockrell noted that was his favorite part of the evening. “Just sitting down and getting a chance to talk with some of the kids about what they go through every day, going to school, what their favorite subjects are and stuff like that,” Cockrell said. “That was the best part about it. “It’s gratifying. Any chance you get to hand out smiles and happiness, it’s

At 8-6, Buffalo can finish no worse than 8-8. It last had a non-losing record in 2004, when Drew Bledsoe was still under center and Mike Mularkey was calling the shots as head coach. The Bills’ secondary shined against the Packers, holding likely MVP Aaron Rodgers to no touchdowns
and two interceptions for the first time in his illustrious career. Recent addition Bacarri Rambo had both picks. While the Bills were victorious, their offense struggled mightily and didn’t find the end zone once. Marcus Thigpen returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown, Dan Carpenter tacked on four field goals, and Mario Williams had a late-game strip-sack of Rodgers that resulted in a safety to round out the team’s scoring. “We have a great defense. We know that those guys are going to make plays for us and we’ve got to take advantage of them,” running
back Fred Jackson said. “We didn’t get in the end zone, which is something you need to do to win games, but as long as our defense keeps us in the game like that and keeps making plays, we have an opportunity to win.” Buffalo will take its staunch defense on the road Sunday when it visits Oakland (2-12). The Raiders are coming off a 31-13 loss to Kansas City but have won two of their last four games, including a Week 13 win over San Francisco. Kickoff is slated for 4:25 p.m. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
Cheektowaga’s softball central is focused on all softball, all the time
Softball Central is located at 3223 Broadway St. By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER
Even during down times in life, Kevin Hufford always had softball in his life. Back on his feet now, the Cheektowaga resident is looking to make the sport an even bigger part of his daily routine. Hufford and his wife, Melissa, launched Softball Central, located at 3223 Broadway St. in Cheektowaga, last week. The indoor facility is focused strictly on softball. Softball has kept us going for an awful long time,” Kevin Hufford said. “We’re always been doing softball anyway. They say if you do what you love, you never have to go to work. I hope to come here every day.” Hufford has always been involved in softball. He started coaching at Cheektowaga Southside softball in 2001 and combined with his
wife as well as Beth O’Brien to rebuild the Cheektowaga Crabapple travel team. He’s also been an assistant coach at Medaille College, Hutch-Tech High School and currently Erie County Community College. But his life changed on Aug. 28, 2009 when he was seriously injured after being hit by a truck while paving city streets. Unable to work and battling multiple back surgeries, Hufford also had time to dream. “The thought of being able to possibly open this thing up while we were coaching all these kids kind of kept us going,” said Hufford, who obtained a business degree after the accident. “Now we’re going to take a shot at it.” Softball Central will include two batting cages, two pitching cages and a stationary cage. There will be batting lessons, pitching lessons and
a place for girls to stay sharp when the snow is falling. It’s all softball. “It’s just going to be softball,” Hufford said. “There’s plenty of places people can go and get all the baseball they want inside. We’re hoping if we just focus on softball. Hopefully we can be a little less expensive and a lot more focused and it will all work out.” Hufford said he will offer some free time at the facility to JFK, Cleveland Hill, Maryvale and Cheektowaga Central. And of course St. Mary’s of Lancaster, where his daughter Erin is a sophomore and one of the elite softball players in Western New York. A member of the Gold Coast Hurricanes out of Florida as well as the lo-
cal New Era Diamond Girls, Erin has a goal of playing collegiately for the University of Tennessee. “She’s almost more talented than we can afford her to be right now,” Kevin Hufford said with a laugh. But that’s ultimately the goal for Softball Central, to help local players grow towards big dreams. Hufford expects players from Niagara Falls to Hamburg to Clarence will be at the facility for individual lessons. Now that it’s up and running, it’s expected to grow stronger and stronger for years to come. “If it makes a dollar more than it costs, it’ll be here forever,” Hufford said. “I’ll just have to get a job. If I can make a living doing this, that would be all the better.”

Regional Food Enterprise Center being planned for fairgrounds Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Niagara County has announced plans to do a feasibility study for a food enterprise center to be located at the CCE Niagara grounds (also known as the Niagara County Fairgrounds) in Lockport. The proposed facility will serve small and mid-size farmers who are looking to do value-added products, food business entrepreneurs who want to develop new products for market, and will also be an outlet for community education. The main goal of the project is to create a facility that grows food-related companies across the Western New York. “CCE is pleased to have received federal funding to conduct this feasibility study. We regularly receive calls from local farmers and other foodrelated business entrepreneurs looking for the resources and services this Food Enterprise Center would provide,” said Cathy Lovejoy Maloney, executive director.
The planning for the facility will encompass a variety of activities including a regional survey of growers, business owners, educators and social entrepreneurs that will inform what programs and services need to be developed that would best support the needs of the food and agriculture community. A brief survey is currently available online at cceniagaracounty.org where farmers, food-related business owners and interested stakeholders are encouraged to fill out and provide their input. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Niagara County is the owner-operator of the Niagara County Fairgrounds, which is home to many functional buildings that are mostly used during the five days of fair in late July – early August. As such, the planning project will look at adaptively reusing one of the existing buildings on the grounds as the possible site for the food enterprise center. The proposed food enter-

prise center’s proximity to and affiliation with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Niagara County will allow for the facility to easily work with and capitalize on the technical expertise and research through New York State’s Ag Experiment Station, The Technology Farm and other food enterprise resources Cornell University can provide. Additionally, this location is central to the region making it easily accessible to its intended audience across the Western New York Region. Federal funding for this project was awarded under the Local Food Promotion Program of the Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
