Starpoint goalkeeper Sam DelPrince, a senior, broke the program record for single-season shutouts when the Spartans beat Pioneer on Oct. 22.
DelPrince breaks Starpoint soccer’s shutout record
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
This season has been one to remember for Starpoint. Everyone is well aware of its
high-powered offense, which has torched opposing defenders for 66 goals this year, but one player has flown under the radar and has put together a record-setting season of his own. Goalkeeper Sam DelPrince now owns Starpoint’s all-time record for shutouts in a single season. DelPrince has won 15 of the 17 games that he has started (two were draws) and of those games, he has held the opposition without a goal 13 times.
He couldn’t have picked a better time to break the record, as the Spartans defeated Pioneer in a Class A2 quarterfinal matchup in the last home game of his career on Oct. 22. “It felt great, honestly,” said DelPrince. “I wouldn’t have wanted it to be in another game. It’s my last home game ever on this field. It means a lot.” What is most impressive about this streak is that it was a goal that DelPrince predicted that he could accomplish this
season. Many would have probably written him off considering that the Spartans finished eighth in their class last year, but Starpoint has had lofty goals all season long and the senior attributes his success to the team in front of him. “I knew that I had a great team in front of me,” said DelPrince. “I definitely, definitely have a great team in front of me that has helped me all season.” There has also been signifi-
cant improvement in his game as a keeper, and like any star, he worked hard to perfect his skills in the offseason. Through the tutelage of Starpoint head coach Scott Bindemann and his travel club, DelPrince was able to work on his technique and his ball-handling skills. “Through all of the training with my club team and even at the start of this year my technique is a little stronger than it was last year,” said DelPrince. “My ball-handling has gotten
a lot stronger, so that really helps to keep everything out.” When a goalkeeper plays on a strong offensive team like Starpoint, life can be dull sometimes when you don’t see very many shots. In fact, the Spartans have outshot opponents 365 to 70 for the season, so DelPrince has found other ways to keep his mind in the game as well as keeping his energy up.

Burdick excels in move back to backfield Roy-Hart shocks No. 3 Tonawanda By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
At times, this season has been a struggle for the Newfane football team. The Panthers have managed to win just one game and started the season with three straight blowout losses. However, a Sept. 26 game against Barker/Roy-Hart seems to have been a turning point for the team in many ways. Despite a heartbreaking loss that night, the team played well and has carried that throughout the remainder of the season. And it was a breakout game for Kyle Burdick. The senior running back ran for 213 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders and followed that up with 279 yards and four total touchdowns in a win
DAN HICKLING
Kyle Burdick has rushed for 730 yards and six touchdowns in his last five games. over rival Wilson. “That was the time when I went off,” said Burdick.
“I think the Barker game, we all kind of clicked as a team, not only me, ev-
eryone was making plays and everyone was where they were supposed to be. That was the time where they just gave me the ball and I had a good game.” Last season, Burdick’s numbers were nearly identical to backfield mate Kyle Guerriera, and Newfane head coach Chuck Nagel saw an opportunity to line him up as a receiver more frequently. That plan started well, as Burdick caught nine passes for 149 yards in the first game, but his rushing numbers began to take a hit. He picked up just 59 yards in the first two games and it was time to move him back to his natural position. “I’m more comfortable at running back just because I like the ball in my hands as quick as possible,” said Burdick. “I feel just as comfortable with splitting out but obviously I have more experience with running back.”

Emma Lindke has a habit of being in the right place at the right time. Lindke scored the gamewinner off a corner as the No.14 Royalton-Hartland girls soccer team shocked No.3 Tonawanda 1-0 in overtime in their Section Class B1 prequarter final game that was played Wednesday (Oct. 22) at Clinton H. Small Stadium in Tonawanda. The Rams will now advance to the Class B1 quarterfinals at East Aurora on Oct. 24. “We’ve had a couple corners just like that this year that I’ve scored on headers,” said Lindke, who scored three minutes
into the second 10-minute overtime frame. “I just saw it and I was like, ‘yes, please!’” Lindke, who now has 29 goals on the season, scored six goals in the Rams’ 11-1 victory over Lackawanna in the play-in game on Tuesday (Oct. 21). Rams coach Coleen Rausch said Lindke gave what all big-game player give in the playoffs: a biggame effort. The two-pronged attack of Lindke and Amber Villella (17 goals) led a Rams offensive attack that was absolutely relentless as it kept Tonawanda keeper Haley Schoelerman on her toes all afternoon. Playing the top-ranked small school in WNY, the Rams had the mindset of ‘it’s a new season’ and ‘regular season records are out the window.’

Football Saturday: Starpoint set for tough first-round test
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
It has been a difficult two weeks for Starpoint. Entering Week 6, the Spartans were 3-2 and had a shot to win Class A North. Unfortunately for them, they have lost the last two weeks to perennial powerhouse and division champion Sweet Home and to Riverside in what was widely considered a shocker. Now, Starpoint (3-4) is the fourth seed in the North division, which means it must travel to face the top seed in the South, South Park/Middle Early College (6-1) in a firstround sectional matchup. Despite the seeds and records of both schools, it would be unfair to consider the Spartans the clearcut underdog in this game. Starpoint has stood toe-totoe with several of the top teams in the class, including
JOE VALENTI
The Spartans will lean on a four-pronged rushing attack against South Park with dual-threat QB Eric Yaeger (13) out injured. Sweet Home and Williamsville South, this season and if it wants to spring an upset, it will have to get the ground game working like it was through the first five weeks. In those first five games, the Spartans averaged 219 yards per game on the ground, but in the last two weeks combined
the team has recorded just 189 total rushing yards. The Spartans were held to under 100 yards on the ground for the first time all year and was blanked on the scoreboard by Riverside last week. Coach Al Cavagnaro will have to re-tool his barbershop
quartet backfield and get them back to the well-oiled machine they had been. Three of those four backs have run for over 250 yards this season and all for have accumulated over 150. Perhaps the man that needs to get going early and often is the biggest home run threat
on the team in sophomore Terry Rutland. The speedster has rushed for just 45 yards on 18 carries over the last three games and hasn’t been able to reach the end zone in that time span after scoring six times in the first four contests. Once Rutland gets rolling, along with the steady senior duo of Alex Goupil and Austin Bratek, it opens up runs up the middle for fullback Tajay Ahmed, who is averaging nearly six yards per carry. On the whole, a steady rushing attack will be a necessity as the Spartans will be playing without starting quarterback Eric Yaeger, who was injured in last week’s loss to Riverside. Mike Chase will most likely take over under center. Defensively, Starpoint must stop dual-threat quarterback Tyree Brown for South Park. The junior has thrown for nine touchdown passes and rushed for six more this season in the Sparks’ big-play offensive scheme. Receiver Daryl Moore has proven to be the go-to guy for Brown, as six of his catches have ended up in the end zone this year.
Keeping Brown under 140 yards through the air will be a major factor in winning this game, as the Spartans have allowed over 140 passing yards on five occasions this year, especially since the run defense is only allowing 123 yards per game. If Starpoint can make South Park’s offense onedimensional, it could be in a position to win the game late in the fourth quarter. After all, the Sparks finished 6-1 last season as well, but was bounced in the first round by eventual Class A champion Williamsville North. The Spartans are making their first sectional berth since 2011, when they were eliminated in the first round. If ever there was a year for Starpoint to make a run at a sectional championship, this would be it, especially since it is the 30th anniversary of the last time the school won a sectional title. That was the year prior to Al Cavagnaro taking over as head coach of the program. Starpoint will take on South Park this afternoon (Oct. 25) at All High Stadium in Buffalo with kickoff scheduled for 4 p.m.
Bryer finds niche Lockport drops Jamestown, falls in with Wilson spikers quarters to No. 3 Clarence
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
After a sluggish start to the season, the Wilson volleyball team finished strong and in second place in the NiagaraOrleans League. One of the biggest reasons for the turnaround has been junior co-captain Ana Bryer, who, despite her 5-foot-2 stature, is a major factor on the floor each and every match. Despite her height, Bryer is still an impact player on the floor and she has become the vocal leader of the team. “I try,” said Bryer. “I like when everybody is up and I feel like if I’m not talking, then we are not as pumped up.” For a lot of teams, the clear-cut vocal leader is a senior more often than not, so Bryer finds herself in a different situation than most captains would. She is a co-captain along with three other seniors on the team, but if you attend a Wilson volleyball match, it is Bryer that takes the lead. “When I first came, I didn’t want to make anyone mad trying to be a leader,” said Bryer. “But it’s just my personality, especially growing up with my sister. She was a leader in every sport that she played, so that’s what I wanted to be.” If the name Bryer sounds familiar, that’s because Ana is the younger sister of former Wilson volleyball and softball standout Lindsay, who is now a member of the Fredonia volleyball team at the collegiate level. Ana chose to transfer to Wilson from Newfane in the spring of her freshman season in order to play softball with Lindsay. “It all started with softball,” said Bryer. “I have played softball for a very long time and she is the reason that I play softball and volleyball. I have just always gone to her tournaments and games. She is just amazing and I have never seen anyone play like her. She just gives 100
percent all of the time. That’s what I wanted to do. …I wanted to be just like her.” Bryer will never be considered the tallest player on the floor, and she is quite content with that fact as she has found ways to make plays in other facets of the game. Hitters get most of the notoriety in volleyball, and originally, that’s what Bryer wanted to be. But she quickly learned that her abilities would be best served elsewhere. “When I first started playing volleyball I wanted to be a hitter,” said Bryer. “I realized my ability to dig everything and that’s definitely what I have worked on so that I could be the best player I can be.” She consistently leads the team in digs from her libero position. Lakewomen head coach Amy Seeley says that she can play just about any position but middle hitter. “She can do everything but probably block the ball,” said Seeley. “Ana brings a lot of spirit and a lot of fire. She is someone who is ready to get to the ball at all costs. She has learned a lot over the last year. She is really aggressive and I count on her to really take control.” Bryer is an honor roll student as well as a standout athlete and she attributes her status in both categories to the Wilson coaches and teachers. “They want to make you as best as you can be,” Bryer said of her coaches and teachers. “They just work with you anything you want to do.” Seeley has been Bryer’s coach since she came to Wilson and she echoed her sentiments of the coaches and teachers that she has worked with at the school. “She gives Wilson a lot of credit for putting academics first,” said Seeley. “She realized that in order to play sports here, she had to focus on her academics, and she really has. The teachers here gave her a ton of support and the coaches gave her a ton of support to make sure that was her first priority.” With a talented team that seems to be coming together at just the right time, and a leader like Bryer, Wilson will certainly be a dangerous team as sectional play is set to begin.

It’s sectional time, and the season is over for one team already. Lockport dispatched Jamestown in a first-round matchup in Class AA, 7-0, ending the Red Raiders’ season on Monday afternoon (Oct. 20). It didn’t take the Lions long to show what direction the match was going as Andrew Sakowski scored on a pass from Joe Alex just 29 seconds in. “We scored 29 seconds into the game,” said Lockport head coach Jeff Hulshoff. “Then we just took it right at them for the rest of the game.” Sakowski would score four minutes later after a feed from Maurice Channer, and then Sakowski and Alex
would flip roles on the first goal as Alex put one home less than a minute later and the rout was on. It was quite clear early that it was not only Lockport’s day, but Sakowski’s as well, as he notched the hat trick about midway through that half from Ignacio Pujana. A few minutes later Phil Sammarco would score from Alex. The Lions would get its sixth and final goal of the half just before intermission as Alex found Ethan Tatro for his third assist of the game. Sakowski would score his fourth goal of the game shortly into the second half on another assist from Pujana. In total, Sakowski would rack up four goals and an assist while Alex added a goal and three assists as Lockport readied itself for third-seeded Clarence on Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 22). The game took a turn for the worse with just over 15 minutes to play, with the score 7-0, as Jamestown head coach Andrew Pihlblad was ejected from the contest after

Jamestown finishes the season 0-17. ••• The Lions’ season came
to an end when the team fell to Clarence, 2-0, in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Alex Fell scored 4:25 in and Cam Law added an insurance goal late in the first half. Clarence outshot the Lions, 16-6. The Red Devils move onto the semifinals, which will be played Oct. 27 at Hamburg High School. They’ll take on No. 2 Orchard Park .
Stingrays qualify four for states The Lockport YMCA Stingrays swim team dove into action on Saturday, already qualifying four swimmers for states. Those who qualified were Jimmy Sacco (200 free, 50 free, and 100 back), Luke Menges (50 free, 100 free, and 50 back), Aidan Moran (25 fly), and Mark Crocker (50 fly, 50 free, and 50 breast). Also impressive for the Stingrays were their newest swimmers: Michael Marker, Sadie Igoe, Ava Thompson, and Izzy Watson. “Our first year swimmers met the challenge of swimming in their first competitive meet with enthusiasm, excitement and Lockport pride,” coach Tim Menges said. “They did a great job.” Thompson sped to a firstplace finish in the 25 breast, Marker looked strong in the 100 free, Igoe was thrilled to swim the breast leg of the 200 medley relay, while

Ava Thompson and Aidan Moran celebrate their individual victories. Watson was touched out in the last few yards in the 25 back. Showing great offseason progress, Luke Genewick was able to shave 30 seconds
off his last season’s best time in the 50 free. Liam Timkey was in great form, placing first in the 50 free, and the Stingrays also celebrated a victory in the 200 medley
relay from Luke Menges, Ryan Santarsiero, Jack Strong and Ken Currie. The Stingrays have their home opener at 1 p.m. Oct. 25 at Lockport High School.

Lockport turns it over seven times in loss By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Turnovers have been the downfall for Lockport all season long, and they were again on Oct. 18. The Lions turned the ball over seven times and were battered by Williamsville North, 26-6, in the final regular season game of the year. Anytime a team turns the ball over seven times, it’s difficult to win — especially against the defending state finalists. “It is and when two of them lead to scores,” Lockport head coach Greg Bronson said of the turnovers. “That’s been an Achilles heel for us all year long. We are at our best when we are wide open and sometimes we are at our worst when we are wide open. That’s the nature of the offense that we run and we aren’t going to run away from that. We are going to try to improve it and hopefully eliminate those mistakes.” Lockport started the game
strong, moving the ball 34 yards on its opening possession and when the drive flamed out it immediately got an interception from Marquise Sanders. But as was the case all afternoon, the Lions were never able to capitalize. Williamsville North would get on the board first on a drive that was dominated by the Hwangs, asAndrew picked up 40 yards on the ground before Jason capped off the drive with a 22-yard touchdown run. If turning the ball over seven times was bad enough, they seemed to come at bad times, as any momentum the Lions picked up was quickly subdued by a mistake. The Lockport defense was strong all game, holding the Spartans to 130 yards on 40 attempts, and they snuffed out what appeared to be a potential scoring drive as Kahlil James came up with an interception just shy of the goal line. But on cue, backup quarterback Javon Ford was intercepted by Nick Morantz and returned 16 yards for a touchdown.

Andrew Bronson and the Lockport football team finished the regular season 2-5. “We have a propensity to do that to ourselves,” said Bronson. “We haven’t paid as much attention to detail on a daily basis and we have been trying to work with the kids on that. It’s been slow to come around. It was a very physical football game today. They are a very physical football team and I think for the better part of the game we stood toe-to-toe with them. That’s something we can
be happy about and something we can build on.” Chad Steinwachs started slow for Williamsville North, going 0 for 5 with two interceptions. But he would settle down to complete his last five to end the game including an 18-yard strike to Dean Thompson to go up 20-0 in the second quarter. The Lions would show signs of life, though, as Tyler Fraass found DominicWilliams from 7
100-mile relay team honored with plaque at Max D. Lederer Field On Oct. 19, some of the original members of the 100mile relay team reunited to acknowledge the installation of a bronze plaque at Max Lederer Field honoring a world record established in Lockport 46 years ago. During the dedication, Bob Brown thanked the Lockport Board of Education for allowing a plaque to be installed on the actual site where a world record was established in 1968. Four of the world recordholding team members, supported by other friends and family members, met Sunday morning to unveil a plaque etched with the eight original teenagers who set the world record. The four men in attendance shared stories of running on a cinder track for seven hours, 27 minutes and 55.6 seconds. Frank Pfeil recalls one of the team members, Charlie Quagliana feeling fatigued and unable to complete the relay at the 80th mile, but he had the conviction to rally despite his exhaustion to complete the full 100 miles with his team. They reminisced about the over 1,200 baton passes without
yards out to cut the lead to 20-6 at halftime. Lockport’s defense would continue the momentum as they stopped Williamsville North on the opening possession of the second half, but once again turnovers crept in. Fraass, who committed six turnovers on the day, fumbled and the ball was returned 22 yards by 280-pound George Attea for a back-breaking touchdown. “That’s something you don’t forget,”saidWilliamsvilleNorth head coach Mike Mammoliti. “All of the other stuff you don’t remember but to pick up the ball and run for a 280-pound tackle it’s a neat thing. It’s a life-long memory for him.” Attea had a monster day on defense, picking up two sacks and recovering two fumbles, while Morantz added two interceptions. Andrew Hwang rushed for 137 yards on 24 carries, while Steinwachs finished 7 for 13 for 65 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions as Williamsville North (6-1) heads into a prob-
able home playoff game against Frontier next week. “We are happy we finished the regular season at 6-1,” said Mammoliti. “We are looking forward to a playoff game coming up next week. Our kids are healthy. Whenever we play it’s always a game. It’s always a physical game; it’s always a good game. I know the score was the score but I thought it was a pretty good game.” Fraass finished 7 for 17 for 92 yards, a touchdown, two interceptions and four fumbles as the Spartan defense was in his face all game. James rushed for 46 yards on 13 carries but the rushing attack never got going with any consistency as Williamsville North held the Lions to 57 yards on 41 attempts. Stephen Yaremo, David DiTullio and Zachary Myles all added sacks. Lockport (2-5) traveled to defending Class AA champion Jamestown (Oct. 24) for a first-round sectional matchup. Results weren’t available at press time.

In a brief acknowledgement speech, Bob Brown thanked Tim Parker and his staff for installing the plaque at Max. D. Lederer Field. Brown also acknowledged John Chew, the relay team’s coach who organized the 1968 event and put the team together. Chew
worked with Max Lederer to ensure permission was granted for the track participants to run. Max Lederer’s plaque was relocated directly beside the newly installed 100 mile relay plaque. The team members present remembered the dedication of these two coaches and spoke very fondly of the many hours they contributed to the sport. Their commitment to the success of these young athletes
was a key part of the team’s discussion during their reunion this weekend. A special thank you was given to the local press for their commitment to ensuring that the world record has been acknowledged worldwide. Much like the 1968 100-mile world record relay time, the bronze plaque will stand the test of time for future generations. This record still stands today.
“We were really focused and we came out strong,” said Rausch. “We knew we had a tough team to beat but we didn’t take that to heart. We definitely stayed on our toes and pushed through.” For the Warriors it was a bitter way to see such a successful season come to a unexpected early ending. The Warriors, who who Section VI Class B runnerup last season, suffered several key injuries as they stumbled to the finish line of the regular season with back-to-back losses to Alden and Holland. The loss of senior Melissa Holler was a huge blow to the Tonawanda defense and while the absence of Grace Stranahan on the offensive side left the Warriors without their best play maker who also has a sweet finishing touch. “ I t ’s t o u g h , ” s a i d
Tonawanda coach Angela Nicholas. “It’s visible. (Grace) is a person who gets in front of the ball. It’s a very big void when she’s not out there.” The loss of Stranahan forced Nicholas to do some position shuffling, but with a total of four starters unavailable due to injury the Warriors simply didn’t have the depth to get the job done on this occasion. Senior Chezney Belcher and freshman Hope Balling did their best to ignite the Warriors offense. But even when Tonawanda was able to work the ball in for a scoring, chance Roy-Hart keeper Ashley Bowers was up to the challenge. “We just came out and said, ‘this is brand new,’” said Lindke. “‘We’re starting over. This is new for us. We can do this. We can win this.’”
Burdick aided by brother Senior keys on vocal leading in college search “Shutout” from page B1
“Burdick” from page B1 Since the transition back to full-time running back, Burdick has racked up 730 yards and six touchdowns on 7.5 yards per carry in five games. He also hasn’t tallied less than 70 yards of total offense in any game since that time, eclipsing the 100-yard mark in four of the last five. Football runs in the Burdick family, as Kyle’s older brother, Adam, was a 2008 graduate of Newfane and went on to be a three-year starter and a captain at St. John Fisher. Kyle has used Adam’s knowledge of the game to help his own as he looks to embark on his own collegiate career next fall. He will use these last two Chuck Funke Bowl games to help bolster his resume for prospective schools. “That’s definitely the case,” said Burdick. “My brother had a big impact on me as I viewed college. He showed me that the college experience is much needed. Everyone
deserves to go through that. I have been working real hard towards that. I treat every game like my last.” Perhaps what is most incredible is that Burdick nearly transferred to another school prior to the season due to outside circumstances. However, he couldn’t seem to leave all of his friends and teammates at Newfane to play his senior year of football somewhere else. His bond with Nagel was also a major factor in his decision to remain a Panther for his final season. “Coach Nagel has had my back since day one no matter what,” said Burdick. “Obviously you are going to go through life and find that there are people who don’t like you or appreciate you, but Coach Nagel has always been on my side. I thought I owed that to him, I owed it to me. I couldn’t handle leaving my boys to go play with another team,
especially in my senior year.” On the football field, that has turned out to be a great decision as Burdick has accumulated 1,081 total yards and seven touchdowns and his average of 113 rushing yards per game has him on track to break the 1,000-yard barrier in the final two games of the season. He has also been a defensive standout this year, accumulating two sacks and an interception while making 32 tackles from his linebacker position. What Burdick enjoys most is that his team has improved as the season’s gone on, especially in his final year in a Newfane uniform. “That’s obviously every team’s goal,” said Burdick. “Going in to the season obviously you are going to be a little more dull than you are at the end and I think the coaches are proud of that. That’s just a huge improvement from the team.”
“It’s a little difficult, which is why I try and talk as much as I can,” said DelPrince. “It gives me a little something to do during these games where I maybe touch the ball three or four times.” One of the best skills that a goal keeper can have is to be a vocal leader to help put his defense in the right positions to be successful and to help let his own teammates know where defenders are coming from in the offensive zone. DelPrince has mastered that trait as he is one of one the more vocal goalies around. It’s something he picked up when he was younger and has stuck with him throughout his soccer career. “It was something that I developed around the age of 12,” said DelPrince. “Coaches started telling me that it was very important to have a leader in the back to let everybody know if there is a man on or to tell them what to do. So I’ve pretty much had that as many years as I’ve played.” Starpoint is the top seed in Class A2 and it is certainly

DelPrince takes his role as a vocal leader seriously. striving to win a sectional championship this year. As has been said repeatedly, the Spartans fully expect to win, and with eight seniors on the squad, it will only make a tremendous season even more memorable. While DelPrince has been a three-year varsity player, he is elated that this record-setting season has come during his
senior year and he will be able to look back on it fondly. “I think it’s very important,” said DelPrince. “I wanted our team to be of this quality and this caliber since I stepped on the field my first game sophomore year. So to have it finally happen and to have it happen the last time that I played at Starpoint is great.”

PRO FOOTBALL CORNER
FROM the SIDELINES Bills’ Orton getting involved, makes appearance at Doodle Bugs By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR
Having led the Bills to a pair of last-second comeback victories in his first three games under center for them, Kyle Orton has certainly endeared himself to fans in Buffalo of late. He endeared himself to a much younger contingent of fans on Tuesday (Oct. 21). Orton traded in his playbook for a children’s book when he made an appearance at Doodle Bugs! on Red Tail Drive in Orchard Park to read Rosemary Wells’ “Bunny Cakes” to 3- and 4-year-olds at the daycare center. The 10th-year NFL veteran has only been in Buffalo for a couple of months since signing as a free agent at the conclusion of training camp, but he’s already immersed himself in the Buffalo community. “Everything has been great [since coming to Buffalo],” Orton said. “Everyone has been great to us. We live in a great neighborhood and have made a
bunch of friends already. “It’s nice being in a small, close-knit community.” Orton and his wife, Bridget, are tied to Doodle Bugs through their daughter Olivia’s enrollment in the program there. Olivia, 3, was among the many children on hand to listen to Orton read Wells’ tale of a grocery store-bound Bunny on a quest to bake a cake. Orton, who grew up enjoying children’s books like “Curious George” and the “Berenstain Bears”, suggested that it was a gratifying experience. “I love being around kids and anything you can do to help kids is great,” he said. “[Doodle Bugs] has been great to us. Coming to Buffalo late, we got Olivia right into school and she loves it here. “Friday afternoons, I come pick her up here with my wife and it’s the best half-hour of my week. So anything I can do to come and help out I’m going to do.” Orton is one of a flurry of Bills that have gotten involved in the Buffalo community of late. Among

Bills QB Kyle Orton, whose 3-year-old daughter Olivia is a student at Doodle Bugs, read to a group of children at the daycare center on Oct. 21. them, center Eric Wood teamed up with Carly’s Club for a Jocktails event a few weeks ago, Keith Rivers appeared at PS 79 in Buffalo in support of the school’s launch of a Fuel Up to Play 60 campaign, and Brandon Spikes chaired the Buffalo Zoo’s ‘Adopt an Animal’ program and appeared at the zoo for a meet and great with fans in September. Additionally, a host of Bills are involved in the
organization’s ticket donation program and were in Niagara Falls for the Bills’ ‘Pinktober’ event earlier this month. “We have a lot of guys on our team that give back to the community and spend a lot of time and effort doing so,” Orton said. “I think all of our players know it’s important and they do a good job with it.” While Orton and the Bills were off on Tuesday, with a visit to the AFC East’s last-
place 1-6 New York Jets on the horizon Sunday (Oct. 26), it was back to the playbook for them on Wednesday. The team eked out a home victory over Minnesota last week when Orton guided the offense on what seemed like an improbable 80-yard drive in the final minutes that was capped off by top pick Sammy Watkins’ game-winning touchdown reception with 1 second left. It was Orton’s second display of late-game heroics since joining the Bills. He led the team on a lastminute drive against Detroit two weeks ago and helped to set up Dan Carpenter’s game-winning 58yard field goal with 4 seconds left. “Hopefully we don’t have to make it a fourthquarter game all the time and we can play better earlier in the game, but the wins have been exciting,” said Orton, who backed up Tony Romo in Dallas the last two seasons. “They’ve been fun. We’ll take them any way we can get them and hopefully we can keep
on doing it.” It’s possible if Orton continues to put up the numbers he has through three games. In leading the Bills to a 2-1 record since taking over for second-year QB EJ Manuel, Orton’s thrown for 890 yards and five touchdowns, numbers that prorate to over 4,500 yards and 25 touchdowns in a 16-game season. He’s just grateful to have the opportunity to start again. “I love it here,” Orton said. “I’ve made that known and I think everybody in the organization knows how much I appreciate that they’ve brought me in.” The Bills have a chance to improve to 5-3 when they take on the Jets at 1 p.m. inside MetLife Stadium. The Jets have lost six straight since opening the season with a win. Percy Harvin, who New York traded a conditional pick for last week, will make his Jets debut as a receiver and kick returner. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
DeMarsh earns 100th victory, still has one goal in mind By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER
Nick DeMarsh took over the struggling women’s soccer team at Buffalo State College a dozen years ago with one goal in mind. “I wanted to win the conference and represent this school on the national level at the NCAAs,” said DeMarsh, a three-time All-SUNYAC player for the Bengals who assisted the men’s program for four years prior to becoming the women’s head coach. That has not happened yet. “So we still have some work to do,” DeMarsh is quick to point out. But the program has come a long way under DeMarsh’s direction. DeMarsh entered this weekend’s homestand with 101 career victories. In the 21 seasons prior to
DeMarsh taking over, the Bengals won 114 games. “I have to give a lot of credit to Jerry Boyes, our athletic director, for allowing me to build the program and build the team,” DeMarsh said. “This was a situation that really needed to be built from the ground up.” DeMarsh was teaching at Native American Magnet school and coaching the Bengals part-time during his first two seasons, before Boyes promoted him to a full-time coaching position. “When you are a part-time coach, you are going to get part-time results,” DeMarsh said. “We really didn’t start winning until I got the job fulltime.” The Bengals have posted winning records in seven of the past 11 seasons, and last year finished second in the SUNYAC. With a very young roster this
season, the Bengals are 6-7-1 and 3-4 in conference play. Buffalo State hosts New Paltz (8-6-2, 2-3-2) at 3 p.m. Friday. A win would solidify the Bengals at sixth place in the SUNYAC standings and keep them out of the play-in round of the postseason tournament. “We want to take it one game at a time, and really, all that matters for us is our next game,” DeMarsh said. Buffalo State hosts defending champion Oneonta at 10 a.m. Saturday and wraps up the regular season Oct. 29 with a non-conference home game against St. John Fisher. When DeMarsh took over the Bengals program he had players who weren’t even starters on their high school teams. DeMarsh, who lives in North Buffalo and is the director of coaching for the Kenmore Soccer Club, has
COURTESY OF BUFFALO STATE ATHLETICS
Nick DeMarsh has 101 career coaching wins. extended his recruiting range throughout the state and into New Jersey – and even has one player on the team from California.
But the Bengals are captained by local recruits in senior Liz Malinowski (Williamsville South) and junior Gabrianna Boldinski (Ken-
more East). “Liz came to us with great experience in terms of highlevel club soccer and has really learned the ropes of college soccer,” DeMarsh said. “She’s a very smart player, a good student, and a good example for our younger players.” Boldinski is “probably the best center defender in the SUNYAC,” DeMarsh said. “She’s an absolute monster of a ball-winner. I could probably player her at any position on the field.” Sophomrore midfielder Katie Shaw (Newfane) has been key contributor for the Bengals this year and is pushing to be a captain next season, DeMarsh said. With 100 wins in his review mirror, DeMarsh has no plans to stop before he reaches his ultimate goal. “I’m pretty stubborn,” he said. “I would never leave the job undone.”
Simonick inducted into Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame By Catherine Miller THE SUN CORRESPONDENT
It’s a good time to be a sports fan in Buffalo. The Pegula family has made more headlines than money recently – and the players on the Bills and Sabres are doing their best to make their owners proud. As Buffalo’s name rises to the top pages of nationwide sports news outlets, the newest group of local sports honorees were inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame on Oct 16 – and one of the inductees was the Old First Ward’s Robert “Rip” Simonick. By many measures, Rip Simonick has led a fairly basic life. He grew up in the Old First Ward amidst a great group of family and friends and attended Bishop Timon High School. He married the
love of his life, MaryAnn “Maize” McGuire, a Mount Mercy Academy alumni. He took a job just a few blocks away from his childhood home and has worked for the same company for the past 44 years, presently living about a half-hour from his original place of birth. Pretty standard by most counts. So why, then, when you ask a man like former Sabre Rob Ray to tell you one thing about Simonick, he just throws his hands up in the air and tells you that it’s impossible to say just one thing? Simonick doesn’t work for just any company. Simonick, known to many, is the head equipment manager of the Buffalo Sabres. He has designed specialized gear for players when they were in need, learned players’ preferences on how they liked their skates sharpened, and when equipment
was all set and they just needed someone to talk to – Simonick was there. What you may not realize is that Simonick has been with the Sabres since day one – and has never left – becoming the most skilled and tenured equipment manager in the league. He was there for the ups – like his favorite seasons in 1975 and 1999 – and he refuses to talk about the lows of the “no goal” days. Rip’s knowledge and expertise in the NHL goes well beyond his title as head equipment manager for the Sabres. “Rip is just a tremendous guy,” said Rob Ray of the man he introduced at the awards banquet for the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. “Everybody in the NHL franchise knows him and everyone respects him. He is the father of the fran-
chise.” Ray continued to share personal thoughts on his admiration for the man that knew exactly what equipment Ray needed to play and the words he needed to hear before heading onto the ice. “We were rookies together,” stated Gilbert Perreault, who took center ice in 1970 as Rip stood behind the scenes making sure the players had all they needed to play in the Sabres’ inaugural season, “Rip was a great guy then, and he’s a great guy now.” Other hockey names mimicked the views of Ray and Perreault. Ray rattled off dozens of other NHL names that look up to Simonick, the renowned equipment guru. Ice manager Bob Strianese and Digger Kennedy, father of NHL player Tim Kennedy, both spoke highly of their friendship with Si-
monick. Much of Simonick’s family still lives in the Old First Ward, and many attended the GBSHOF awards dinner, sharing similar thoughts on the greatness of Simonick. He had more family and friends attend the awards dinner than any other inductee. Simonick never stepped out on a professional field in uniform, never scored the winning goal and was never nominated as an MVP. Still, his name is known in the sports industry better than most and for more decades than many, and he is the only member of the NHL franchise to work from day one to today. Many NHLers state that it’s Simonick’s personality that makes him unique. In addition to his equipment expertise, it is his ability to listen when players need listening to that endears him
to so many. And if you ask Simonick – he believes he’s important to the game on a very basic level. “Hey, you can’t play the game without equipment,” Simonick said with a smile. Whether talking about hockey or life in general, Simonick is correct – and he has definitely brought forth the right equipment to help bring out the best in our players from the days of the French Connection, to the seasons when Ray and Brad May battled in corners with opposing players, to the present-day Pegula era. With everything that he has given to the game of hockey, there is one thing that he would like to get from it in return, and that is to see Lord Stanley’s Cup in Buffalo. But for now, he’s content to join a host of great names in the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

Roswell Park now offering screening Local receives achievement award mammograms for general public Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) announces the expansion of its breast imaging services to the general public, offering routine screening mammography to non-patients in an effort to improve breast cancer screening rates and increase detection of breast cancer at the earliest, most curable stages. Current statistics show that as many as half the women who should be receiving an annual mammogram are not getting this important cancer screening. “We are pleased to be able to offer our technology and expertise for breast cancer detection to all women,” says Ermelinda Bonaccio, MD, director of breast imaging at RPCI. “Cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment are our specialty. Applying our capabilities to breast cancer screening is an important part of our mission.” Mammography is the only screening test that’s proven to reduce a woman’s risk of dying from the disease. But in the City of Buffalo, a lack of facilities that offer mammography screening makes it more difficult for women to get the screening. “Currently, there are only
five U.S. Food and Drug Administration-certified mammography centers in operation in the City of Buffalo, including Roswell Park; in 2012, there were 11 facilities,” says Christy Widman, a community outreach manager with the Western New York Cancer Coalition (WNYC2) Center to Reduce Disparities at RPCI. In addition, Erie County has the highest breast cancer mortality rate compared to the rest of New York State and has the highest breast cancer mortality rate among African-Americans in the state, too. A new and larger breast imaging center will be located within the 11-story clinical sciences center, currently under construction adjacent to the main Roswell Park hospital, but the need for these services was deemed too urgent to wait for the building’s completion. At RPCI, screening mammograms are batch read by two RPCI radiologists. Studies show this method of batch reading lowers the rate of false positives, which means fewer women need to return for additional images. The breast imaging and diagnostic services now avail-
able to the general public include: •Mammography, both screening and diagnostic types •Advanced breast imaging such as ultrasound, breast MRI and digital mammography •Minimally invasive breast biopsy •Pathology analysis by pathologists who focus exclusively on breast cancer •Access to genetic counseling, the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment and Prevention Program for those at high risk of developing cancer and the multidisciplinary breast cancer care team. Afternoon and evening appointments (3 to 6:20 p.m.) are reserved for women getting a screening mammogram, and free onsite parking is provided. Appointments take approximately 30 minutes, and women receive a personal phone call the following morning with their results. RPCI recommends that women at average risk should begin yearly mammograms at age 40. Personal risk factors such as family history of the disease may warrant screening beginning at an earlier age.

Wendy Liebman’s got talent
SUBMITTED
By: Lauren Kirchmyer Did you watch this past season of “America’s Got Talent?” If you said yes, you probably have heard of standup comedian Wendy Liebman. After being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the show, judge Howard Stern selected Liebman as his wild card, allowing her to appear on the show one more time. Though it was magician Mat Franco who won season 9 of the competition, Liebman was able to bring her already successful career to new heights. The Long Island native’s stand-up career began after graduating from Wellesley College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She performed research at Harvard Medical School and worked as the assistant to the director at a fellowship program at Radcliffe College. One day, Liebman decided to look into taking a comedy class at The Cambridge Center for Adult
Education in Cambridge, Mass. “I was reading the course catalogue when I saw, ‘How to Be a Stand Up Comedian.’ That really resonated,” Liebman said. “I wasn’t planning on pursuing comedy but it fell into place.” Her first professional standup performance took place about 30 years ago at Stitches, a comedy club in Boston, Mass. Her career took off. Liebman became a regular on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and she appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” She was the first comedian to perform on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and has done comedy specials for HBO, Comedy Central and Showtime. Her most recent special, “Taller on TV,” celebrating her 50th birthday, aired on Showtime and
audience when it’s live. It’s really fun.” Experience this interaction first hand when Liebman brings her stand-up show to Helium Comedy Club, located at 30 Mississippi St. in Buffalo. Performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30; and
Liebman on the other hand is new to this side of the entertainment industry. “I was writing songs and didn’t know where they came from. The collaboration brought it out of me.”

7:30 and 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1. “I’ve never been to Buffalo. I better pack a parka,” Liebman joked. “I heard the people there are the nicest. I’m looking forward to entertaining them. I heard the food is pretty good too. Any food is good as long as I’m not cooking it.” Her show will contain new material as well as a lot of jokes about her parents, husband and two stepsons. Besides performing standup around the country, Liebman and her husband, Jeff, are currently writing a musical about stand-up comedy titled “Home on Tuesday.” “My husband is very musical,” Liebman said. Jeff’s father and uncle, The Sherman Brothers, wrote music for many famous Disney films.
is available on DVD through Amazon. Her comedy has allowed her to open for bigname stars like Ray Charles and Reba McEntire, and in 1996 she received the American Comedy Award for Best Female Standup. Though Liebman has experienced multiple noteworthy moments in career, her most memorable moment was performing on “America’s Got Talent.” “America’s Got Talent” brought more exposure to Liebman’s name and knack for comedy, but what she couldn’t do on the show while on stage was interact with audience members. “My favorite thing is performing live in a club and getting gritty,” she said. “It’s like there’s an inside joke with the
