Emotions flare as Orchard Park’s season comes to painful end in loss to Jamestown By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

As Ron Shul was walking off the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium, he stopped once he hit the entrance of the tunnel. Holding his helmet by the facemask, he turned around and took in however more he could. It was nearing 1 a.m. The game he and his Orchard Park football teammates started on Friday (Nov. 7) turned into Saturday by the end. But time was no issue. Actually, in that moment, that was the least of Shul’s worries. There was too much to bask in. It was an emotional late night that ended with overall top seed Jamestown defeating the Quakers, 34-14, in the Section VI Class AA championship at The Ralph. It came three weeks after Jamestown won the Class AA Southdeciding first meeting, 19-0, in the regular-season finale, leaving OP as a No. 2 seed. OP finished 8-2, with both losses coming to Jamestown, which has won back-to-back sectional crowns. But playing on hallowed ground such as The Ralph was something Shul said he hadn’t even dreamt of. The stadium is in Orchard Park High School’s backyard, but it’s always a long road for any

the rest of the seniors. That’s who Shul wanted this game for — because of the great contributions, both unsung and obvious, they brought. “We were built with a lot of underclassmen; we were heavily an underclassmen team,” Shul said. “The leaders took the younger guys under their wings. We have a lot of young guys and the seniors just really helped us out and they have us ready for next year.” As quarterback Dillon Janca said following the defeat, “It’s never fun losing to anybody.” The flavor of this one, though, was extra sour. Like a Warhead that doesn’t go sweet after 30 seconds. However, it eventually did go sweet. The Ralph can have that affect. Shul sat at the mouth of the tunnel for a few minutes just gazing at the marvel of Ralph Wilson Stadium — the 70,000-plus seats it holds and immaculate artificial grass the teams just did battle on. He was savoring everything, taking mental pictures and milking it all before he went off into the locker room to give his thanks to the seniors. “It really hasn’t hit me JEFFREY T.

Quakers fall in Far West Regionals

Blue Devils clean house at NYSPHSAA championships

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

In a game that was 34 years in the making for the Orchard Park boys soccer team, all it took was a split second to ultimately decide the outcome. That fraction could have been a program-defining moment, one that went down in OP lore. It certainly had that look. With 10 seconds to play in the Class AA Far West Regional between the Quakers and Section V’s Fairport Saturday (Nov. 8) at Hamburg’s Howe Field, OP, down 1-0, was awarded a corner.

OP girls spikers push forward despite early struggles By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Once the Orchard Park girls volleyball team got its footing, things were fine. The Quakers came into 2014 with extremely limited varsity playing experience. That’s because last year there were nine seniors hogging the court en route to winning a second consecutive ECIC I title. With them graduated, OP inserted a brand-new starting lineup. And another. And another. Many court combinations were used, but eventually, the Quakers nailed down the ones that won them matches. After starting 1-6, OP recovered to go 15-18 (5-7 ECIC I), including tournament matches. The Quakers earned the No. 5 seed in the Section VI Class AA playoffs, where they scored a quarterfinal win over fourth-

seed Lancaster before falling to eventual sectional champion Clarence in the semifinals Oct. 30. It’s the same place OP got to in 2013, when it was upset as the top seed. “We didn’t take a step backward in the program,” Quakers coach Greg Lardo said. “We talked a lot about pride, and we want to be a top-five program in the area every single year. You could see the growth and how they have gotten better and more comfortable playing together. To come into the playoffs with zero playing experience, it’s tough. But they showed up.” Senior co-captain Shaye Swiatek was a constant fixture in the lineup, albeit it was usually at a mostly foreign position. A setter in the past, Swiatek moved to play outside hitter with the emergence of freshman setter Liz Chow, a varsity rookie. Chow was steady enough at setting to enable Swiatek to move and influence the offense with her hard hitting. Riley Moll, who missed most of last season after transferring from Immaculata, played on the outside, too, and was the team’s

The Orchard Park girls volleyball team finished 15-18 after a 1-6 start this season.

Fairport scores on free kick “Soccer” from page B1 Wes Siegner played it short to Connor Saeli, who crossed the ball from the left sideline toward the goal. The pass went off Derek Frappa’s head, no more than seven yards from the net. There it was. OP’s late flurry was going to result in the equalized with less than a second to play in regulation. Fairport goalkeeper Joe Catalfamo wasn’t anywhere near the left side, where Frappa was. The ball’s course was promising. But as the tip of the ball appeared to cross the goal line, the rest didn’t — Red Raiders defender Zack Barker stepped in to head the ball to safety. And once he did, the final buzzer rang to denote a 1-0 win for Fairport, which clinched its second straight trip to states. “Not only are we going to overtime but we’re going to overtime and Orchard Park is going to have all the momentum,” Fairport coach Gianni Bussani said of the last sequence. “Orchard Park is a real good team. They took it to us, but we made a couple real good plays and we saw the game out.” It was as dramatic an ending that could have been drawn up. But, in a way, it’s fitting there was high drama since this was an OP season that featured the first ECIC I title since 1997 and initial sectional championship since 1980, or 34 years. “Heart-dropping is the only way I can describe it because I see that ball, it’s

going in the net,” Quakers defender and co-captain Ati Mraz said. “It was a fair play by the kid standing on the line because he knows his keeper is out. I thought that ball was going in the net. It’s just disappointing.” A series of late, highquality chances by the Quakers (14-3-3) culminated to the wild finish around the goal line. And it was the Red Raiders (17-3) getting on the board in the 60th minute that forced OP into attack mode. On the game-deciding goal, Tom Mousso absolutely drilled a free kick over the OP wall and into the left part of the net from 25 yards out. The perfectly executed shot beat goalkeeper Adam Hansgen, who was excellent in keeping the game scoreless to that point. He finished with 12 saves. That fully awakened OP, which started a little slow out of the gates. The chances were plentiful following the marker. OP senior Zack Alamari had a lot of personal space from 10 yards out in the 66th minute, and he got a lot on his shot, but Catalfamo, who had eight saves, stymied it with his right hand. Then, in the 72nd minute, Saeli performed a couple of nifty moves to elude two defenders and proceeded to fire just wide from 25 yards. “Our thinking was hold strong a little bit and then attack late; use our fitness to sneak a goal in there late,” OP coach Josh Dannecker said. “For the most part it went according to plan. We had a lot of chances in

the second half to even it up and we just didn’t take advantage of that.” The loss decided ever so marginally — by inches, really — was overshadowed by the encouragement OP received leading up to regional, Dannecker said. There was even a sign of support in front of Cappelli’s Pizzeria, located on North Buffalo Road, supporting the team’s bid for states. The school and community backing encapsulated the good of the Quakers’ year. “I was telling the guys ‘Nobody can take away the fact that you have done something that no one (at Orchard Park) has done in 34 years,’” Dannecker said. “I wouldn’t want any other group of guys to play alongside,” Mraz said. “We had some struggles throughout the year but we pulled it together and did what everyone said we couldn’t do.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Orchard Park’s season came to an end against Fairport.

most consistent hitter, according to Lardo. Senior co-captain Donnett Hickson led the back row as the libero. Besides Swiatek, Moll and Hickson, the other four seniors, Annika Thomas, Molly Hennessy, Shannon Tatay and Olivia Jacobs all recorded starts and factored into the rotation. Maybe the so-called “game experience” lacked, but with more than half the 13-player roster consisting of seniors, there was experience nonetheless. That helped the Quakers to strong victories over respected area programs like North Tonawanda, Lancaster (twice) and Frontier. “It was tough to get going,” Lardo said. “The girls were good in the sense that we were always changing, kept moving people in and out. We talked about dealing with that adversity; when times are tough it’s good to look to people who want to step up and not the people who sit down and accept it. We had some big wins.” The stumble out of the gate was overcome, but it was tough to gain a rhythm after that,

Lardo said. “We never won two, three, four in a row,” Lardo said. “It was one or two and then a loss. It was up and down all the way through. It was tough to get into a flow of the season. But they fought to the end and that’s all you can ask for.” Still, it was marked improvement throughout the course of the season. Lancaster swept OP in the early stages, and then the Quakers won in five sets later in the regular season. Then, of course, there was the postseason triumph by OP, which downed Lancaster in straight sets. That’s how different, and better, of a team the Quakers became. A majority of the squad graduates for a second consecutive season. But as this year proved, steep turnover doesn’t mean success can’t be had. “We’re losing a lot of seniors this year so we have more people who are going to step up,” Lardo said. “They just have to keep that pride up, keep competing and give us chances to compete in sectionals.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Jamestown scores three TDs in span of 3:05 “Football” from page B1 Jamestown’s defense was every bit as advertised. The Red Raiders came in allowing just 21 points in their previous five games. OP put up 334 yards, but it also turned the ball over four times, including a pair of firsthalf pick-sixes by Jamestown (9-1) that created a big early deficit. Janca went 29 of 55 for 261 yards with two touchdowns, one of them rushing, and the pair of interceptions. Jack Crowley recorded four grabs for 68 yards and a score for OP while Kevin Koziol (five catches, 54 yards) and Joe Losardo (five catches, 47 yards) were also featured in the pass game. Ryan Paolini had eight tackles while Bellagamba added six to lead the defense along with Shul. A 46-yard scoring throw from Jamestown quarterback Nikkolas Holland to Zack Panebianco midway through the first kicked off the scoring and was the catalyst of a 21-point burst in a 3:05 span. On the next sequence, Joseph Ramos returned an interception 44 yards to the house. Then, Devan Jackson, who finished with 146 yards and a pair of scores on 22 totes, capped a four-play 75-yard drive with a 23-yard touchdown scamper. It all happened in a blink, as Jamestown was up, 21-0, with 2:37 to play in the first quarter. Kyle Liuzzo added a 1-yard interception return midway through the second to give the Red Raiders a 28-0 edge at intermission. “We just got off to a bad

Terius Wheatley, who missed the teams’ Week 7 matchup due to injury, was limited in the finals. start,” OP coach Gene Tundo said. “We had three turnovers in the first half — two of them went for touchdowns. It wasn’t really anything that they did; we just didn’t play well early on. “They are a good football team,” Tundo added. “They have every chance to win a state championship. They make you make mistakes.” Coming out of the locker room, Kevin Goltz, last year’s quarterback turned wide receiver this season, went under center. He piloted a spread look he predominantly ran out of. OP had success with it, driving deep into Jamestown territory before turning it over on downs. Goltz, who rushed nine times for 47 yards, sparked the “O” and opened up some areas of exploit. After a defensive stop, Janca re-entered and was able march down the field and toss a

22-yard touchdown to Crowley to make it 28-7. There wasn’t enough sustainment, though. In a stark contrast of efficiency, Jamestown ran for 205 yards while OP registered 73 yards on 31 rushing attempts. OP returned to the AA finals for the first time since 2012. It was the first taste of The Ralph for many of the underclassmen. Getting back, at least for Shul, will be the theme of the offseason. “We didn’t play our best,” Shul said. “We’re just going to take this moment in and think about it every time we want to take a nap instead of working out. We just have to get back to it because this was an unreal experience. It was really exciting, but you have to keep going.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

OP’s season ends after claiming first sectional crown in 23 years. By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER

The clock finally struck midnight for Cinderella. After making its way to its first sectional championship in 23 years, as a fourth seed, Orchard Park’s run finally came to

an end in the Class A Far West Regional to Webster Thomas 2-0 on Monday evening (Nov. 10). At first it appeared as if the Quakers were primed to continue its run, as they went to halftime tied, but Webster Thomas would score twice in the final 16 minutes to win the game. “They were a good strong team,” said Orchard Park head coach Bridget Callahan. “They went to the ball and we let them score on two corners and we didn’t

capitalize on our corners.” It was an evenly matched game throughout, but Webster Thomas was finally able to capitalize on the chances that they were given. Nicole Rocco took an Allyson Bilow pass and drove it home for the first goal of the contest at the 16:05 mark in the second half. The Titans would strike again less than three minutes later as Rocco found Kim Johnston at the top of the circle to give them a

two-goal cushion. For Orchard Park, they were just unable to sustain strong possession of the ball in the offensive end, and when they did they weren’t able to break through. “I told them that I was proud of them,” said Callahan. “We were a four seed and to make it this far and we have not gotten a sectional championship in 23 years so I thanked them for that. The second thing I said that they were

a better team than us today. We did not play our best game. I wanted to thank the seniors and I wanted the underclassmen to remember this feeling so when we are running next year it doesn’t happen again.” The Quakers will lose nine seniors this year, including three of the top four leading scorers in Kelsey Griffin, Sydney Potenza and Megan Urbank, along with co-captains Abby Johnson and Jesse Urbank, Bridget McCabe, Allison

Jennings, Casey Ellis and Riley Sharp. On the bright side they will return Colby Fritsch, who scored nine goals this season, and freshman Jessie Gracek who made six saves in defeat. The Quakers will also bring up some strong players from a JV squad that went unbeaten this year. “JV was undefeated this season so I can’t wait for next season,” said Callahan. Orchard Park finishes the season 10-9-1.

East Aurora’s regional demons visit them again By Marquel Slaughter SPORTS REPORTER

The Blue Devils thought this was the year to finally get over the hump. East Aurora has captured a sectional crown and later fallen to the Section V boys soccer representative in the regional round for four straight years. The Devils just had to find a way to separate themselves if the contest became evenly matched. Livonia represented Section V in the Far West Regional against East Aurora on Nov. 7 at Howe Field in a contest that ended in a share of the Far West Regional championship after it remained scoreless after regulation and two overtime periods. Co-champions or not, only

one team could advance to the state tournament. It was the Bulldogs of Section V who escaped with 3-2 advantage on penalty kicks, earning a spot in the NYSPHSAA semifinals and handing Section VI Class B champion East Aurora another crushing loss this late into the boys soccer season. “That’s how we’ve played all year long,” said East Aurora head coach Kevin Beale “We possess well, we attack well…there’s just always a little piece at the end that’s just missing.” East Aurora has won sectional titles in 2011 and 2013 as a Class A participant. Sectional crowns in Class B have been captured in 2012 and this season. Brian Norman and Harrison Fay came up clutch by nailing penalty kicks for East Aurora. But it was goals by Andrew Freeman, Matthew Freeman and Tanner Pierce that gave the Bulldogs the win.

during the first 110 minutes of play. Thompson got behind Livonia’s defense for a one-on-one with Bosch in the final minutes of the second overtime period, but the charge was broken up around the 18. The Devils dominated play with Thompson on long passes on throw-ins and low corner kicks in front of the Bulldogs goal. But it was DAVE ECKHARDT Bosch stopping any chances Eric Roetzer (9) and the East Aurora boys time and time again. “Credit their goalie for soccer team won a share of the Class B making some timely saves,” regional championship, but saw their season said Beale. “Credit [Andrew come to an end in a loss to Section V’s Livonia Freeman] for limiting what in penalty kicks on Friday, Nov. 8. we could do on some of our long throws. “It’s just been too many Junior Sebastian Bosch this game and as the game times for our boys outplaying played an impressive game in went on and on, we don’t want the time…” net for Livonia, but was saved to get to PKs and he made Chances for the Devils were when the would-be tying goal two saves.” not as plentiful in the second Fay, Noah Thompson, half as the game went into the for East Aurora rang off the crossbar during the penalty Jimmy Czora, Eric Roetzer, first overtime period.

East Aurora strives for strong future By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Like the girls team, “We were joking that it was a double-double, like a Tim Hortons coffee,” McLaughlin said. “It was really just amazing. The kids did a great job. We really focused on the team. Good for Kenny and Sophia to win individually, but it’s even better winning that team title. All the kids are state champions and that’s a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing. You can never take that away.” The boys won states for the first time since 2011 while it was the girls’ initial first-place finish since 2010. As a superstition, the girls all donned cornrows for the meet, a style executed by EA’s 2008 state-winning team. It was also done in homage, the girls said, as this group solidified itself in the class of EA’s past great teams. After winning six straight state titles from 2005-10, the Lady Blue Devils were since absent from the top of the podium until last week. There was heartbreak along the way, too, with EA posting top-three showings in 2012 and 2013, making this one feel extra satisfying. “Finally being the team that won was so excit-

the same way in the extra periods as he did in regulation with hopes for a goal to come through sooner or later. “We like to play with our tendencies,” Beale said. “We like to play off our options and how we receive the ball and where we want to go and who’s going to make which run … [We just] couldn’t create that last finish.” Roetzer, Fay, Czora, Norman, Pete Morgan, Sean Conroy and Connor Brod will all graduate, leaving Thompson, Schiltz and Shea among those that will come back next fall in hopes of capturing a fifth consecutive sectional championship and finally getting over the Far West Regional hump. “We credit our seniors,” Beale said. “We’re not going to define our season on one game … we outplayed a team … we controlled the play … we played the way we’re capable of. We just credit a few of their players for making some plays.”

When it comes to fall sports at EastAurora, cross country and soccer are king. But Ashley Daigler would like the field hockey program to enter that discussion.This season started the chatter. The EA field hockey team won eight games for just the third time in school history while its run to the Section VI Class C semifinals was the furthest it’s reached in at least 17 years. And the Lady Blue Devils’ defeat in the semis was as thin, losing just 1-0 to seven-time defending sectional champion Barker Oct. 30. After that game, Daigler, EA’s coach, was receiving texts, calls and emails from coaches saying they had rarely seen a team play Barker so tough — especially defensively. That signified the Lady Blue CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Devils’ increasing standing as a field hockey school. Daigler said the East Aurora boys cross country squad won a Class C state title.

was on, like it was against Barker, it was hard to differentiate the defensive, midfield and forward lines — it was a cohesive unit. In the very back was Emily Sipes, the sophomore goalie who posted an .897 save percentage while stopping 227 of the 253 shots she faced. “She has the confidence,” Daigler said. “I keep telling her, ‘You are going to college to play field hockey.’ She has such a natural ability, is so calm and just does her job.” Holding strong ahead of Sipes were defenders Molly Ferris, a senior co-captain, and junior Dana Reger. They were rocks — constantly in position and able to make plays when there were breakdowns. Ferris’ fellow captain, senior Sam Hirsch, gave ample support to both the defense and offense from her center midfield spot, Daigler said. She finished with a pair of goals. Ashley Belz, after taking last season off, was the leading goal scorer with six while junior Gigi Morrissey netted a handful. Jessica Pierce was the assist leader, dishing out six of them, and Daigler said she recorded a few more secondary helpers that impacted goals, but don’t show up on the stat sheet. The senior center forward popped in four goals, too. They were all at the forefront of a team that wanted to make something of this season.

The Lady Blue Devils wanted to become more accustomed with playing on the surface.

That and the rest of the assiduous effort put forth was in a spiritedattempttoaccompanythe 1979 division-winning team as the only other squad with a place on the program’s championship banner that hangs in the gym.

Dual-threat Hickson leads St. Francis to playoff win, matchup against nationally ranked Canisius By William Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

The No. 5-seeded St. Mary’s Lancers football team came into Nov. 6’s Monsignor Martin Association quarterfinals playoff game after escaping with a narrow 30-28 regular season victory on Nov. 1 over No. 6 Cardinal O’Hara. Having lost to No. 4 St. Francis 46-20 just a week prior to that on Oct. 25, the Lancers knew they would have their hands full in the rematch with the Red Raiders. They were oh-so right. In fact, after a Garth Pinnock opening kick return to the Lancer 19-yard line, it only took the Red Raiders two more plays to score on a 14-yard Francisco Guzman scamper. St. Francis’ foot was on the pedal from the onset— and it never took it off en route to a 48-28 victory that sends the Raiders to Ralph Wilson Stadium on Nov. 13 to face a Canisius squad ranked 38th in the nation. “We started out on fire and the kids carried it through,” Red Raiders head coach Jerry Smith said. “It was a good solid game all the way around.” Leading the way for St. Francis (5-5) was sophomore quarterback Jerry

Hickson, who ran for one touchdown and passed for two, and completed 15 of 26 throws for 280 yards and just one interception. St. Mary’s quarterback Takal Molson, on the other hand, threw three picks in the first half for a Lancer offense that tallied 421 total yards to the Red Raiders’ 468. And while those numbers are close, the game was anything but—and ended the Lancers’ season with a 6-4 record. “It is disappointing to come out flat like that, especially in a big playoff game,” St. Mary’s skipper Chris Glenn said. “The difference that was obvious to us is a weight room thing and preparation thing. “It’s a great group of kids, though,” he added. “They battled all year.” In their way on Nov. 6, though, was Hickson—who now has 2,520 passing yards in his sophomore campaign, a new school record. He’s also completed 179 passes for another single-season school mark, while his 22 touchdowns in 2014 ties him with former Connelly Cup winner Mike Radon. “Jerry’s very good. He’s well-coached and a phenomenal talent,” Glenn said, “and when you can’t defend the pass and can’t stop the run as well as you need to, a kid like that’s gonna pick you apart— and that what he did the last two times we played them.” Hickson, though, didn’t take all the credit.

Jerry Hickson was 15 for 26 for 280 yards and three total touchdowns against St. Mary’s. “Against these guys, we really focus on our run game, and since we kept pounding them with the ball, it opened up opportunities in the passing game” said the 6-foot, 175 pounder, who passed for 215 yards in a 46-20 victory over St. Mary’s the first time around. “It feels great because everything’s just on point; it’s on time, and we’re just ready to go.” The Red Raiders will need to be ready too, because undefeated Canisius pounded them 48-13 on

Nov. 1—and looks to be a freight train that’s going to be next to impossible to stop. “We just need to minimize our mistakes,” Hickson said of the pending matchup, “and just play a good game on offense and defense.” It won’t hurt either if senior defensive back Kordell Holness-Lightbody has another game like he did against St. Mary’s. The 6-foot-1, 165 pounder senior was responsible for two of his club’s intercep-

tions on the night, along with one by Jarryd Taylor. “The defense was just playing a deep zone,” said Holness-Lightbody, who also caught four balls for 55 yards and a TD on offense. “I just basically had to take the deepest guy, and looking at (Molson’s) eyes, I saw where he was going to go and just picked them off and made the plays.” After being down 33-6 at halftime, St. Mary’s did score twice on St. Francis’ second string defense in the fourth quarter, but that group won’t likely see much action against Canisius in the semifinals, so the first string will have to be ready for the duration against the Crusaders. “It’s gonna be tough,” Holness-Lightbody said, “but I think we can do it. We have all week to gameplan, so I think we’ll be alright.” The biggest part of that game plan for Smith will be assignment based; knowing all too well which Crusaders can hurt them. “We just have to try to matchup the best we can, and come up with a supreme effort,” he said. “It’s still only high school football, so anything can happen. You never know.” In order to have success, though, the Red Raiders will also need the offensive balance they had against St. Mary’s, when six backs combined for their 188 rushing yards. Manny Williams led the ground-pound with 12 touches for 68 yards.

Brandon Metz also had 5 rushes for 44 yards plus a 43-yard receiving score, while Tyler Kraus caught a 39-yard TD score midway through the second quarter. Guzman also averaged more than 10 yards for each his 5 carries—two of which went for scores. “The running game opens everything up,” Smith explained. “You saw that tonight. It gave (Hickson) a chance to open it up in the air, and he did a good job.” The same can be said for St. Mary’s’ Anthony Stitt, who tried to keep his Lancers in the game with 9 carries for 132 yards and 2 TDs. Christian Osborne also added a pair of catches for 70 yards and a TD, while Molson completed 9 of 22 passes and ran the ball 15 times for 60 yards on the brisk night. The Lancer defense was led by Ray Cooper and Isiah Hinton, who equally combined for 14 tackles, while Paul Bargnesi also accounted for 5. Molson joined in on the action from his cornerback position with 5 tackles and an interception. Metz and Robert Dempey each had 6 tackles for the Red Raiders’ D, and Devin Delmont tallied 5. Guzman, John Hayes and Tim Smith contributed 4 each in the cause, while Hayes secured 3 sacks. Teammates Delmont and Williams also got to the elusive Molson once each, and George Kline added a fumble recovery in the contest.

Patience pays off for former St. Francis goalie Diebold By Matthew Ondesko MANAGING EDITOR

Sometimes it just takes a little patience. Patience on the ice and patience in the classroom. For RPI senior netminder Scott Diebold (St. Francis High School), patience is something that became a virtue. After playing 45 to 50 games at St. Francis High School and being the main man at the Tri-City Storm of the United States Hockey league, Diebold had to wait his turn when heading to college.

It was a different feeling for him, but one he understood and got used to. “Going from playing 45 to 50 games in high school, I struggled with it a little bit,” Diebold recently said by phone. “You just have to wait your chance. You can’t worry about what you can’t control.” It would have been easy for Diebold to sit and pout over the fact he wasn’t able to get a lot of playing time early on. Instead, however, he used his time wisely, getting better at the craft he has been honing since he was a little boy. It also helped that he has had a great teacher in coach

Seth Appert. Appert took the reins during the 2006-07 season and he has worked with Diebold to get better in all aspects of his game. “One of the best goalie coaches in the game,” stated Diebold. “Inevitable that you will get better.” After seeing limited action during his freshman and sophomore campaigns, Diebold took the bull by the horns last season and played in 36 games — 35 of which were starts — boasting a 2.50 goals against average. The fact that he was able to get back on the ice regularly was rewarding for him as he put in the extra work during practice and before

games. “You just have to treat every practice like it’s a game,” Diebold said. “It’s been a blast.” It also has been a blast in the classroom. But it didn’t start that way in the beginning. After being used to a routine in high school, when Diebold went off to play junior, he didn’t have to take any classes. It was just hockey all the time every day. So when he entered RPI and tackled the academic rigors that accompany the school, it took the former Red Raider some time getting used to the flow again. “I was used to laying around playing hockey,”

laughed Diebold. “School was on another level. It blindsided me at first. I had to learn how to study again.” And learn he did. The industrial and management engineering major thanks St. Francis High School for getting him ready for the academic rigors that RPI present. “Academic are unreal at Frannies,” said Diebold. “They hold you to a high academic standard. It puts you in a different category.” Another category Diebold would like to be in is that of a professional hockey player after he graduates. He sees the success of some of his friends that have gone on to

either play in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL), American Hockey League (AHL) or overseas in Europe. The fact that they have had success gives him reason that he will be able to succeed as well. If it doesn’t workout, however, then he will always have a backup plan. “I have been at the rink with these guys, played with these guys. Vinny is doing well and Anthony is doing well overseas,” said Diebold. “I definitely want to play hockey somewhere. But if it doesn’t work out, I will go back to school in Buffalo.” Always the patient person.

THE COLLEGE Mann, UB to make first appearance in Women’s College Cup By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

Courtney Mann could barely believe her eyes. Sitting in the front row of the team meeting room at UB Stadium, Mann saw the word “BUFFALO” flash on the big screen during the Women’s College Cup selection show. “It was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen,” said Mann, a Frontier High School graduate

and senior captain on the UB women’s soccer team. “Being a local kid, seeing that name up there, that’s what you dream about.” As a 15 seed, UB (16-23) will face No. 6-ranked Penn State (17-3) in the first round of the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship at 7:30 p.m. Friday (Nov. 14) on the Nittany Lions home field in University Park, Pa. “It’s going to be a big

challenge,” said junior Jackie Hall, the MAC Defensive Player of the Year. “But go big or go home, right?” Hall scored the winning goal in Sunday’s MAC Championship game at UB Stadium, capping off a record-breaking run in which the Bulls went unbeaten at home (11-0-1) and in conference play (11-0-2). “This team has been making history all year long, so it’s another op-

portunity for us,” firstyear coach Shawn Burke said. UB’s only two losses have come on the road at No. 19 Virginia Tech and Cornell. Penn State won its 16th Big 10 regular season championship this season but was upset in the conference tournament by Northwestern. This will be the Bulls first appearance in the Women’s College Cup following just the fourth

team MAC team championship in UB’s history. “It starts at the top with the leadership from our captains and seniors,” Burke said. Mann was one of eight UB players named to the all-conference teams. She was joined on the firstteam by Hall, MAC Offensive Player of the Year Katie Roberts, and goalkeeper Laura Dougall, who was also named MAC Freshman of the Year. Burke, who was named

MAC Coach of the Year, recruited Mann and most of the Bulls top players during his time as an assistant coach, and believed the talent was in place to have a special season when he interviewed for the head job last spring. Mann was one of the first players he recruited. “In eight years of coaching in college, she is one of the best athletes I’ve ever worked with,” Burke said earlier this season.

Combating financial needs in the classroom, one school at a time

This nonprofit organization could not be possible without these volunteers. By Anna Cappello COURIER INTERN

Four-hundred and eighth five. According to a recent national survey, this is the average amount of money that teachers spend on school supplies and classroom materials out of their own pockets each year. But what if there was a program that allowed school teachers to shop for supplies without paying a single cent? The good news is such a program does exist and it’s called The Teachers Desk. This organization was founded by John Mika who, after working 30 years at GM and as a substitute teacher at Williamsville Public School, was driven to help the community. He specifically wanted to give students in need tools for education. “I just saw the incredible difference between what kids in the city schools don’t have and what kids

in suburbs do have” Mika said. The Teachers Desk, set up like an office-supply store, allows teachers to shop for classroom necessities like paper, pencils, glue and children’s books. Other organizational supplies such as binders and folders are available as well for no charge. A grand total of $200,000 in free school supplies is distributed on a weekly basis. Reaching out to 84,000 students annually throughout Western New York, this ministry is more than ready to combat any financial problems in the classroom. “We have about 150 schools all the way from Salamanca to Ripley and pretty much everywhere in between” Mika said. “And we are always looking for more schools.” Any school that has 70 percent or greater student participation in the National School Lunch Program, Mika stated, is eligible to shop at The Teachers Desk.

Each teacher receives $900 on average in free supplies for their classroom. Does your school meet the requirements and want to be registered? If the answer is yes, call 716-348-3412 or email shopping@theteacherdesk. org to receive aid from Mika and his team of genuine volunteers who are ready to provide support for students in need. This nonprofit organization could not be possible without these volunteers, Mika explained, and there is always room for more help. A simple email to volunteer@ theteachersdesk.org can incorporate you into a program striving to make a difference in the Buffalo area. “It’s good for families, for high school kids in need of volunteer hours, and for retired adults as well” Mika stated. The Teacher’s Desk is located at 22 Northampton St. in Buffalo.

‘Weekend Update’ anchor connected to the Queen City When Seth Meyers left the desk of “Weekend Update” on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” fans were wondering who would replace him. Although it looked as though it would be cast member Cecily Strong, Lorne Michaels asked the show’s head writer, Colin Jost, to fill Meyers’ shoes alongside comedian Michael Che. “Getting ‘Weekend Update’ has been the biggest moment of my life,” Jost said. “To perform on ‘SNL’ and be part of the cast and tradition is really cool.” But if you look at his life prior to his “Saturday Night Live” career, you may be surprised Jost is where he is today. “There are many people in my family history who worked in the engineering industry,” he explained. His father, an East Aurora native, worked for Struthers Wells in Buffalo, prior to moving to New York City to work for Procter & Gamble. Jost, on the other hand, enjoyed making people laugh while growing up in Staten Is-

land. In sixth grade, he and his friends convinced their teacher to let them perform skits from “Saturday Night Live” for the class. When it came time to decide what he wanted to study for his undergrad however, Jost picked something far from comedy. The Harvard graduate studied the history and literature of Russia and Britain because he enjoyed reading. “I didn’t know I could have a job in comedy. I thought it was just a fun thing to do on the side.” When he graduated college, Jost decided to submit a packet of his writing to “Saturday Night Live.” He didn’t hear back and six months later submitted a second packet. This time he received a phone call and went in for an interview with the show’s head writer, Tina Fey. She liked Jost and he moved on to another interview, with Michaels. “At the end he was like, ‘I’ll be seeing you around,’” Jost said about the show’s creator and

producer. “I was not sure what it meant. Then I got a call interpreting what Lorne said and I started the next week.” His writing received a lot of laughs and Jost worked his way up the “SNL” writing chain, earning him Emmy nominations along the way. Some of his favorite skits include when the cast sang Billy Joel’s “Goodnight Saigon” on Will Ferrell’s finale show, when Jonah Hill serenaded his “wife” for their anniversary and when Vanessa Bayer portrayed Miley Cyrus after her performance on MTV’s Video Music Awards. His favorite guests to write for are the ones who have an inherent comedy in them, such as Kristen Wiig, Zach Galifanakis and Emma Stone. He hopes to someday have the chance to write skits for comedians Eddie Murphy and Stephen Colbert, as well as actors Kate Winslet and Michael Keaton. Outside of “Saturday Night Live,” Jost enjoys performing stand-up shows.

“I’m a lot looser and goofier than the news anchor character I play on ‘Weekend Update,’” he said. To prepare for his shows, Jost spends time exploring the cities he’s performing in. Last week, Jost performed at Bear’s Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. Before his show, he explored the American and Canadian sides of the falls and roamed around the city his father grew up in. “It’s so beautiful,” he said about the area. “It’s really cool to wander around and see the town.” Jost is also working on starting a career writing screenplays for movies. “It’s the hardest writing process because there’s so much going on. You have to make the script unique and funny and interesting for the viewer.” After having multiple screenplays rejected, or being accepted but having nothing created, his first movie finally came through. “Staten Island Summer,” a film filled with “Saturday Nigh Live” cast members about lifeguards who are spending their last week of summer together before they go away to college, is expected to be out in the spring or summer of 2015. “I’ve learned I’m pretty resilient,” Jost said. “If you really want something, stick with it and work at it. Eventually you will break through in some way.”
