New coach Stella hopeful new system will guide Iroquois wrestling to the top

UB takes chance on rising star Mike Haim

SPORTS COLUMNIST

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

As Andrew Stella begins his first full season as coach of the Iroquois wrestling team, he and assistant coach Dan Bishop are implementing their own procedures and system. Seems customary enough with a new regime taking over a program. But where Stella’s plan varies from the normal is in its ambition, which is rightfully high for a Chiefs squad on the verge of becoming a powerhouse. Stella, who was an assistant for Iroquois in 2013-14 before taking over as the headman midway through the year, is not messing around. He sees greatness in the team’s future, and he wants the march to that beginning in 2014-15. Ultimately, Stella wants Iroquois to be regarded as the top team in Western New York. Getting to that point starts with having a well-defined modus operandi, which is HEAD COACH: Andrew Stella COACH’S OUTLOOK: This year we’re looking to take the division back. We’re looking at this year being highly successful, but the really exciting part is we’re thinking three to five years from now how much of a powerhouse it will be.”

A sizable portion of Stella’s method involves the KEY WRESTLERS: Tristan Almeter Matt Kloc Anthony King Connor Day Cory Day

athletes owning a mentality of wanting to elevate their skills by putting in whatever work is necessary to accomplish that. “Last year had a lot of ups and downs with coaching changes and a lot of different things,” Stella said. “We were a really solid team, but we didn’t really have a system down. “We think it’s going to be a great season. The kids are buying in, the system is working and everything is just clicking right now. It’s exciting. Within the next

three to five years, the sky is the limit.” Iroquois is already in the upper tier of Section VI. The Chiefs took third in ECIC II a season ago and are returning five of the seven who placed at Section VI Championships last winter. That includes junior Tristan Almeter, who went 50-6 and won a sectional title in the 120-pound class as a sophomore to qualify for states. He comes back bigger, stronger and more imposing, as he’ll rumble in the

145 class. “He’s been using his strength a lot more,” Stella said. “We’re hoping that he uses that and just dominates kids. “It was a good thing to get out of that (120) class because the more he wrestled those guys, the more they knew exactly what to do. Now I think he’s going to blow the roof off because they are not even going to know what he does.”

For fans and players alike, a host of normal reactions followed Jeff Quinn’s firing as head coach of the Buffalo Bulls football program back on October 13. First came shock, followed by a desire to navigate through the remainder of the season, and finally the anticipation of learning who would be hired next. It was fair to expect that UB would make its announcement in grand fashion, with the university making a big splash to cap Athletic Director Danny White’s national search for a new leader, preferably someone with a sterling reputation. On Monday, most of that checklist was fulfilled with the hiring of Lance Leipold.Alumni Arena was the scene for a truly grand announcement, the facility festooned with decorations usually saved for graduations or keynote speeches. Leipold’s reputation exceeds the definition of sterling; he has led Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater to a 1066 record in eight seasons. That’s not a typo: his record is really 106-6. As for the big splash part, that’s open to debate; a Division III coach wasn’t exactly what many expected from White. Instead of bringing in someone with instant name recognition, perhaps someone with longterm Division I experience or NFL pedigree, UB has staked its future to a coach who will need to adapt to a higher-level and higher-pressure recruiting process, covering a much wider geographic area.

West confident a trip to Voorhees upbeat in taking on states could be in store upstart WSE wrestling program

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Near the top of the West Seneca West wrestling team’s list of what to achieve each year is sending someone to states.

It hasn’t happened since 2004, but Indians coach Dave Recor said a few athletes make changing that a real possibility in 2014-15. Heading those aspirations is senior co-captain Mike Wisniewski, who will wrestle in the 132-pound weight class. The All-ECIC performer won three tournaments last season and has 85 career wins, so it’s no wonder Recor thinks he is the squad’s finest chance at reaching state glory. But Recor has a roster he is confident can vie for a spot in

states, and win an ECIC I title in the process. The other three captains, juniors Hunter Mancuso (126) andAdam Lampman (138) and senior Sebastian Orsene (120), along with sophomore Luciano Orsene, giveWest great ability and potential. Sebastian Orsene had 23 wins a year ago while his brother, Luciano Orsene, is coming off a sixth-place finish at Section VI Championships.

West Seneca, Hamburg girls fall in first game of Fed season By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

The buzzword of the night was “excited.” Excited to be on the ice. Excited to be part of something. Excited to make history. The West Seneca/Hamburg girls Federation hockey team suited up for the first time as a joint program Monday (Dec. 1) at the Healthy Zone Rink in East Aurora. Although it suffered a 3-2 loss to Lancaster/Iroquois, which got a game-winning goal from Madelyn Moran with 2:16 left, the enthusiasm in the air couldn’t be masked. West Seneca was solely a district team for the first four years of girls Federation hockey, but after low turnout numbers the last couple seasons started becoming overwhelming, a solution

was reached. From that, Hamburg, which has been pushing to get, or join, a team for a few years now, got its desire. Monday was not only the initial game of the merger. Six Hamburg girls — a seventh was scratched for an insufficient amount of practices — represented the school in a girls high school hockey contest for the first time ever. “It was really exciting,” said junior defenseman Nicole Dubill, a Hamburg student who assisted a second-period goal. “We’ve been trying to get this together for a couple years. We tried every year and got a little closer, and this is finally the year, so it was really exciting. “To have a high school team, we’re progressively getting noticed. It’s really exciting.” Of the six Hamburg players, five played forward while Dubill logged big minutes

on the blue line. Jordan Glowacki, Jackie Held, Jade Hoch, Tori Lettieri and Emma O’Neill all were part of a consistent three-line rotation up front. Olivia Luthringer had to sit out because she didn’t practice enough leading up to the opener for both teams. WS/ Hamburg coach Brian Hillery said she’ll be ready for her own monumental moment next game. “This was a long time coming,” WS/Hamburg coach Brian Hillery said. “To play their first game I think they had a lot of fun out there. They all contributed and got a lot of ice time. They’re going to remember this for the rest of their lives, just being the first ones who played for Hamburg High School’s hockey team.” WS/Hamburg (0-1) had a pair leads in the game and were in line for a point until

Moran’s late marker. The forward entered the zone, and as she cut to the high slot she ripped a shot that deflected off a defender. The pace of the puck slowed considerably, but the direction changed extremely, leaving goalie Abbie Mutton, who played strong, little chance as it slid into the left side. “We got a lucky bounce on that one,” Lancaster/Iroquois assistant coach Pete Tonsoline said. “… We were very strong defensively. We have everybody back (on defense), plus we picked up a couple new players on defense. I thought we played well. And the girls coming over from Hamburg improved their team quite a bit.” If one game is any indication, WS/Hamburg will make a marked jump from last season, which opened with this same matchup — although

Lancaster/Iroquois won it, 10-3. So with Hamburg came a drastic step up in roster size, and that relates directly to competitiveness. “Last year we weren’t a balanced team,” Hillery said. “(Monday) we were able to run three lines for all three periods. Just having that ability is going to help keep our team fresh at the end. That’s going to help as the season goes on.” WS/Hamburg’s Brianna Carlin notched the first goal of the night with 5:52 left in the first period. Kaira Patterson and Jordan Weisenburg recorded the assists. Less than four minutes into the second, Brianna Keppner tied the score after Renee Doherty fired a shot that caromed back in front of the net off the glass. Just over two minutes later it was Dubill’s point shot

that left a juicy rebound for Bridget Bork, who buried to put WS/Hamburg up 2-1. Kristen Bull got the equalizer with 3:45 to play in the second. Hannah Noble and Keppner registered the assists. WS/Hamburg took the loss in the standings, but with the wait finally over, it was a victory for the program. “It’s definitely an exciting time for Hamburg,” Hillery said. “But it’s also exciting for West Seneca because it ensures we’re going to have hockey in West Seneca, as well as Hamburg, for the future.” WS/Hamburg plays Orchard Park/Frontier at 4:30 p.m. Thursday (Dec. 4) at Hamburg Town Arena. Results of the game were not available at press time. Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Voorhees wants East wrestlers to be ‘true believers’ “East” from page B1 Those are principles he emphasizes, and he thinks wins can be created off of those. All it takes is for the kids to trust that approach, and so far they have. Voorhees said it’s been a positive attitude early on in practices, which include three days of lifting a week as part of an intense strength and conditioning regimen. “I want the team to be true believers,” Voorhees said. “That’s kind of our team motto right now. It doesn’t matter how much I know about wrestling until they know that I care about them. It’s a two-way street. There has to be that trust relationship.” The Trojans graduated their top wrestler from 2013-14, Danny Graham, the school’s all-time wins

leader (154) who placed fifth at states last year. Without him to lean on, Voorhees turns to a core of five underclassmen to fetch consistent points. Junior Josh Katashuk will compete in either the 126or 132-pound weight class. Meanwhile, sophomores who are expected to contribute largely are Justin Kimble, Matt Walkden, Joe Ramunno and Nate Wallace. “We need to have kids with the right attitude and do the right things in practice, in the classroom and outside,” Voorhees said. “Wrestling is really about living the right lifestyle, and that core of kids leads by example.” Kimble was a steady performer last season as he won multiple JV tournaments. He’ll wrestle at either 152 or 160.

Walkden is set to rumble in the 145 class. Wallace (99) provides punch in the lightweight division while Ramunno is at the opposite side of lineup, as he is a go at 285. “The kids have been g r e a t , ” Vo o r h e e s s a i d . “They have put in 100 percent effort and they love the pace of the practices. They love that we’re doing strength and conditioning all the time. They said their practices have never been harder. But they’re still quick and motivated, not exhausted.” Voorhees’ vision is not just improving this season, though. He said he’d like to be the East coach for a long time, and, as such, his blueprint is marked with spreading Trojan pride. “This isn’t just about one

West Seneca East will open its season Dec. 10 at Pioneer. The Trojans were 4-16 last year. season for me,” Voorhees said. East’s first dual meet was scheduled for Dec. 3 until Snovember postponed it. When it takes place later in the year, it will be alumni

night. During pregame, a past East coach and former player will both be honored for their influences on the program. There is also the towel night promotion on Jan.

7 versus Williamsville South in which fans will receive “Trojan Towels” — a spinoff of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ “Terrible Towels” — to wave in support of East. The idea of the theme nights, Voorhees said, is to advance the reputation of the Trojans while hanging on to the predecessors who made that possible. “We’re trying to build a program,” Voorhees said, “and part of being a successful program is keeping those alumni ties — keeping them coming back and interested in the sport and supporting our young student-athletes.” East’s opener is Wednesday (Dec. 10) at 6 p.m. at Pioneer.

“West” from page B1 “Those guys all have a shot at placing high in sectionals and maybe getting a wild card or winning it to go to the state meet,” Recor said of his core group. “We have come close a lot of times, but just didn’t get there. “We would like one of those guys to break through and really do something this year. They’ve been working hard.” Before getting to the statequalifying meet, however, the Indians, who have been a scholar-athlete team 10 years running, are aware of what needs to be done. They only graduated a few seniors, with standout Pete Walsh being one of them, from a squad that went 11-9 (5-3 ECIC I) in 2013-14. And with a deep stable of middleweight guys creating lineup flexibility and advantageous internal competition, Recor has a positive outlook. He thinks there is room to improve on last winter. “There are some good teams there that we have to go after,” Recor said. “There is Clarence, Lancaster, and we always have a battle with Jamestown. I think we’re right up there with top three or four teams and if things go right, we get the guys in the right weight classes, I think we can knock off a couple of teams and get to the top of ECIC I.”

Mike Wisniewski performs squat drills with sand bags during a recent practice. Freshman Mitch Bednarz had a big eighth-grade year on JV and he will make a case for varsity time at 120 this winter while junior Riley Jamieson is looking to make an impact in the middleweight class, too. Junior Jared Wilde has been wrestling since he was a freshman as he sets to go in either 152 or 160. West’s heavyweights include junior Tim Skea, who placed at Class AA Championships last season and will rumble at 171, junior Steve Walek, a 189-pounder who had good

success on JV, and senior Wally Macker (195). Canisius transfer Connor Buhr, a junior, is another bigger guy who gives Recor an option. Freshman Josh Karmazyn will hold down the 99-pound spot for West. Juniors Nick McGinley, Jesse Roche and Anthony Jaycox and freshmanAntwaine Jaycox are either going to make strong pushes for big roles. Recor is in the luxurious position of having talented guys on the bench, especially in the middleweight division, ready

to compete when called upon. “In the middle, if someone is out, we have someone we can plug in there,” Recor said. “We have guys who are right behind the other ones. There are probably four or five guys who would probably start on a lot of other teams in Western New York, but they’re behind really good kids.” It’s the athletes who will make a few of the lineup decisions, not Recor. The weekly wrestleoffs — one-on-one intrasquad matches in practice that Recor said are always close — will make the final call for some of the classes. That’s Recor’s philosophy, as he believes it’s one that’ll prepare the Indians even beyond the meet in front of them. “They are all so close it’s tough to say one or another is going to be a starter, Recor said. “It’s a good problem. Our wrestle-offs are brutal. They really go at it. That makes the team better because the guy who is in the starting role has a guy behind pushing him. There is a lot of competition in the room. That’s what we want.” West kicks off the season with a dual meet against Sweet Home at 6 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 10) on the road. Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Almeter and the rest of the Chiefs are going to be tested almost immediately. That’s by Stella’s design. The coach made a few changes to Iroquois’ typical scheduling to ensure its attendance at the Jon Vesper Duals at Clarence Dec. 20. The six-team tournament is hosting six teams, including who Stella thinks are the best two teams in the area — Clarence and Lockport. With it being a round robin format, the Chiefs can gauge how they stack up against two elite squads. But Stella is looking for his system to be fully functioning by the start of those matches. He’s taking his team there with the intention of flexing some serious muscle and getting the season off to a significant start. It’s a measuring stick, definitely, but Stella is drilling a winning attitude into his athletes. They’re going to Clarence to win. “Our focus right now is knocking off he No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the section early on,” Stella said. “We want to be No. 1. That’s where our head is at, where our direction is going. If we can do that, that’ll give us enough momentum to hopefully dominate the rest of the teams in ECIC II. That’s our plan.” In addition to Almeter, Stella has some other nice pieces. Seniors Matt Kloc andAntho-

ny King are back after placing third and fifth, respectively, at sectionals a year ago. Kloc will wrestle in the 138 class, which is a drop from 2013-14’s 145, while King jumps up from 113 to either 120 or 126. Sophomore Connor Day, a third-place finisher at last year’s sectionals in the 106, will occupy the class King isn’t in. Day’s brother, eighth grader Cory Day, stays in the 99-pound category. He placed fifth in the section there as a seventh grader. Mixed into the other classes are mostly sophomores and juniors who Stella is confident in. But in Almeter, Kloc, King and the Days, he has a sturdy initial foundation for his method. “It means so much,” Stella said. “Those are guys who go out in matches and they just know we’re looking for them to get us the maximum amount of points they possibly can. They make everyone around them better. It makes all the guys who are coming up in the program so much better because they see success from these guys who are only a year or two older than them.” Iroquois begins its season with a tournament on Friday and Saturday (Dec. 5 and 6) at Webster Schroeder (Rochester area).

East lineman a Trench Trophy finalist

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

The separation is vast. It’s also necessary. Within the halls of West Seneca East, classmates call Evin Ksiezarczyk a big teddy bear. It’s an apt description of the 6-foot-6, 295-pound Ksiezarczyk, whose calm, kind demeanor makes him approachable. However, shift from a classroom at East to the football field and it’s a different account. For the last three years defensive linemen who opposed the Trojans found that out, as Ksiezarczyk was East’s starting left tackle over that span. This past season, Ksiezarczyk’s senior campaign, he displayed a menacing side. He filled out and used every bit of strength in him to steer the Trojans’ run-heavy style. Ksiezarczyk developed a mean streak that made him as intimidating as he is skilled. That’s a formula for becoming a vaunted lineman, and he was honored as such at the 12th annual Trench Trophy banquet Tuesday (Dec. 2) at the Lancaster Elks Lodge. There, Ksiezarczyk was recognized as one of 10 finalists for the Trench Trophy, which is awarded to who the committee deems as the top lineman in Western New York. Joe Mistretta of Jamestown took

Evin Ksiezarczyk is getting Division I football looks. home the hardware. “Off the field I know I’m a different person, but I know once I step on that field you can’t mess around,” Ksiezarczyk said. “You have to turn that switch and know that it’s game time. You have to bring it. “Those guys are out there trying to hit you. Why would you hold back anything? If you want to play at a higher level, you need to make your presence felt out there.” Ksiezarczyk,whoseaggression and strength make him overpowering and punishing, didn’t always play with an edge. As a sophomore and junior, he said he just kept it simple and held his blocks to get the job done. But after teaming with Scott Pilkey, the former director of high school relations for the UB football team who doubled as an assistant coach his eight years there, in the offseason, Ksiezarczyk elevated his standing as a lineman.

This past summer, Pilkey and Ksiezarczyk worked together three or four mornings per week. Ksiezarczyk said Pilkey’s instructionimprovedhistechnique, which, in turn, bettered his conviction. That gave him the confidence to let loose his senior year. “I think this year I was just more aggressive,” Ksiezarczyk said. “I wouldn’t really hesitate as much. The past few years I would just hesitate and be afraid to make a play — just hit somebody. This year I just laid it all out and really played. I wasn’t scared, wasn’t intimidated. I just played my game. It felt good.” His play did stand out before this fall — Division I Robert Morris extended a scholarship offer in the summer — but an outstanding, and physical, senior year has flooded him with major college interest. By then end of the season, Nevada, Old Dominion, UTEP and Central Connecticut — all DI programs

— had offers out to Ksiezarczyk. He has visits to Nevada and Old Dominion set up for this month. UCLA recruiters also talked to Ksiezarczyk, who plays some defensive tackle, too, one day after school in November. “Knowing that those big schools are looking at my film, it’s a cool feeling,” Ksiezarczyk said. “I never thought it would get to this point. I was just kind of hoping to go to UB someday and play football. But Nevada and UTEP, schools that far away, it’s a sweet feeling.” It was a build-up to garner the attention. Followinghisfreshmanseason, when he was prepping for the jump to varsity, Ksiezarczyk made the weight room his second home. That started the development of his now largely unmatched power and nastiness. “You have to hit weight room to be a dominant force on the field,” Ksiezarczyk said. “You can’t just lounge back and think that something is going to happen for you. You have to work for it.” With accumulating Division I size, Ksiezarczyk made the necessary remaining moves that can lead a post-high school career.As soon as he started playing with a serious edge this season, college coaches told Ksiezarczyk that was an eye-catching trait. He may be a teddy bear to some, but he’s not interested in being cuddly on the gridiron. “You can’t hold back,” Ksiezarczyk said. “I just took it as ‘Why should I hold back? I have to prove that I can play at the next level. I have to prove that I’m not just another high school football player just playing because it’s a great game.’”

GU boys off to great start The Gymnastics Unlimited boys team had its first meet of the season at its home gym on Nov. 16. Over 100 boys attended the Boys Nickel City Classic Invitational.

The Monsignor Martin girls hockey team has seen plenty of success on the ice and many of the big names are back. But past success doesn’t guarantee future playing time. With a deep roster, MMAA players know they have to earn each minute and they’re eager to do so. “I have a group of kids that work hard,” coach Linda Mroz said “Nobody feels entitled to PT. Doesn’t matter if you’re a senior or a freshman, every game and every practice is a tryout, no lineup is set.” Monsignor Martin has a ton of returning talent and leadership. Senior defender Amelia Gajewski (Sacred Heart Academy) is the team captain. She’s back to lead the blueline in her fourth varsity season. Catherine Radwan (Mount Mercy) will serve as alternate captain in her junior season and again be all over the ice for MMAA. Her coach described Radwan as “a bull in a China

If I tell her, ‘I need your fanny in front of the net, that’s where she’ll be.’” Kaitlin Drew-Mead (Sacred Heart) led the league in goals as a freshman and

is expected to do even more as a sophomore. With the talented Rachel Lenard lost to graduation, Drew-Mead will be a target this season. “We’ve adjusted her role,” Mroz said. “I told her, ‘You need to step up and she said ‘I’m ready for the challenge, coach. I’m glad you put me here.’” The team also welcomes

back junior Brynn Wopperer (Sacred Heart), who scored a goal in her first game this season after missing last year. Also on defense, junior Maeve Christ (Mount St. Mary) is one of the top offensive defenseman in Western New York. Kayla Blos (Sacred Heart) is also looking strong as a freshman as a forward. In goal, Monsignor Martin welcomes back Brianna Gawronski (Mount Mercy) and Makenna Walp (Sacred Heart) and MMAA also has a third goaltender in Julianna Kersten (Sacred Heart). All three girls are sophomores. MMA’s roster consist of nine players from Mount Mercy, eight from Sacred Heat, two from Nardin and one apiece from Mount St. Mary and Niagara Catholic. But, while they may compete in other venues, they’re friends when they step on the ice. “Mount St. Mary and Sacred Heart have a huge rivalry,” Mroz said “But I tell the girls, you’re no longer Mount and you are no longer Sacred Heart, you’re Monsignor Mar-

tin. There are no issues. They’re not playing for Caz, not playing for the Regals, not playing for the Stars, or Sacred Heart or Mount or Nardin. We’re all playing together for Monsignor Martin and the girls have been great about it.” HEAD COACH: Linda Mroz COACH’S OUTLOOK: “As long as the girls improve each year, that’s all I’m looking at. Sure, it’s nice to win, but that’s not really what I’m all about. Would it be nice to win the championship and get it back?

If there was a first-time head coach standing here, he would have a learning curve. I’d like to think that all of my experiences have helped prepare me for this opportunity.” White emphasized that head coaching experience was paramount in the hiring process, and that someone working his way

up the collegiate ladder wasn’t necessarily a negative. “We had a lot of guys with Division I experience we could have picked from,” White said. “The amount of success (Leipold) had was more compelling than that. He’s been around Division I, on a couple of staffs and working for really good people. It’s not that big of a difference.” Indeed, Leipold was an assistant for three seasons at Nebraska

under Frank Solich. And White is quick to remind that while at Ole Miss, the university hired Hugh Freeze, who had been coaching at an NAIAschool two years prior. White added: “There have been a lot of hires across the country more recently, guys who started at high schools and lower levels of college and really perfected the craft of being a head coach. They have a competitive

advantage when they get to our level.” And let’s not forget that other Division III product who defied the odds to become a local hero: Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson, who played at Coe College in Iowa and has enjoyed a long, productive NFL career. So maybe there’s something in the water here that will help Leipold concoct some magic. Both White and Leipold stated

that winning is the best recruitment tool a school can have.And there’s no disputing it, Leipold has won.Wisconsin-Whitewater is pursuing its sixth national championship under Leipold this month. But is he prepared to accept the fact that it’s unrealistic to expect a 95% winning rate against stiffer competition? “In 1994 I went to NebraskaOmaha as an assistant at a

Division II team,” Leipold explained. “We went 1-10. The next year we were 3-8 and then we were 10-2. I view a lot of that time there as some of the most gratifying of my career. It took a lot of work and effort, but we were able to build a program. Sometimes it’ll take a little time to build it and get it to where you want it.” www.twitter.com/mikehaim

THE COLLEGE Bulls hire coach from Division III football powerhouse By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

Lance Leipold ran into a former colleague at a national convention last January and asked for some advice in moving up in the coaching ranks. Turner Gill, whom Leipold had coached with for three years at the University of Nebraska, shared his experiences taking a chance on a downtrodden University at Buffalo program in 2005 and building it into a champion in three years. Last month, when Leipold was approached about the possibility becoming the next UB football coach, he immediately flashed back to that conversation with Gill. “He said the more he came to look at this place, the more special it became,” Leipold said. “Turner is a man I have always respected and I took his words and advice that

PAUL HOKANSON/UBBULLS.COM

Lance Leipold posted a 106-6 record as the head coach at Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater. you need to look.” Leipold liked what he saw enough to decided UB was the kind of “special opportunity” that could lure him away from his alma mater, WisconsinWhitewater. In his eighth season

coaching the Warhawks, Leipold has a 106-6 record and five national championships. He is the fastest coach to reach 100 wins at any NCAA level. And his team is currently 12-0 and ranked No. 1 in the country entering the

D-III quarterfinals. Leipold will continue his pursuit of a sixth national championship while transitioning into his new job at UB. “I do need to finish the obligation of making sure we play our fullest as long as we can in the playoffs back in Wisconsin,” Leipold said. But Leipold is eager for the new challenge at “New York’s university,” he said. “This is an unbelievable opportunity, and it’s ready to take off,” Leipold said. Leipold is a proven winner, something athletic director Danny White said was a priority in his coaching search. “This team is ready to win and we feel like ready to win now,” White said. “As a result, as I went through this process, I wasn’t out there selling a rebuilding effort. I was out there talking about the character and talent we have in our program and really looking

at and targeting successful head coaches, proven head coaches that have won. “I was not too interested in looking for folks with a learning curve.” This is a departure from White’s last major hire, men’s basketball coach Bobby Hurley, who no head coaching experience and limited experience as an assistant, but was a highprofile name by virtue of his playing career, and his Hall of Fame father’s success at the high school level. White and Leipold also acknowledged that UB’s new coach will face a learning curve on the recruiting trail. With no scholarships to offer at WisconsinWhitewater, Leipold drew nearly all of his players from Wisconsin and Illinois. He plans to hire a staff of assistants that will help him make vital contacts in other areas. “That’s got to be proven,” Leipold said. “You have to

just go out, and like anybody, you have to prove yourself. … That’s a part we’re going to work hard at.” At WisconsinWhitewater, Leipold also had a winning tradition and facilities that were the class of Division III to sell recruits. Leipold will not be able to sell those qualities at UB. But he believes the university has plenty more to offer potential players. “You have to be aggressive in recruiting,” Leipold said. “You need to be thorough. “Most importantly, once you make the evaluation, when you deal with student athletes, you have to talk about what the opportunities are on the field and off the field. This is not just a fouryear experience. This is going to be a 40-plus year experience for them, and this university can open doors for those student athletes after they leave here. I think when they see that, they’ll be as excited as I am.”

OP Middle student sparks UB volleyball team this season By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

She never shows up on the score sheet and only takes the floor during timeouts. But Savannah Harvey played a part in helping the University at Buffalo volleyball team qualify for the Mid-American conference quarterfinals for the first time in school history. Savannah, a 13-year-old Orchard Park Middle School student, sat on the Buffalo bench in her No. 10 jersey at home games this season. “Savannah is the little light

on the team,” said Danielle Marotto, a junior from Lancaster. “She’s fantastic in all of the huddles. Even though there is tension, she is always the one that’s trying to bring every one up. She dances around and it gets everyone to smile.” Savannah linked up with UB through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, which seeks to improve the quality of life for children with pediatric brain tumors. In 2005, Savannah was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant tumor that originates in the cerebellum, a region of the brain that plays

an important role in motor control, attention, language, and regulating fear and pleasure responses. Her cancer is currently in remission. Coincidentally, Savannah’s father, who played volleyball at Springfield College, had a prior relationship with UB head coach Reed Sunahara. And her older brother, Noah, had played junior varsity volleyball for Rick Albano, husband of the former Stephanie Jansma, a Lancaster native now coaching at UB. “Savannah really helps the girls put things in perspective,” Albano said.

“No matter how things get on the court, you see her and she’s happy. She’s enjoying every minute of it. So we should be happy out here playing a sport we love. And no matter how far we are down, we can fight back. Savannah is definitely a fighter, and we want to portray that on the court for her.” Getting a high five from Savannah during timeouts became a home game ritual for the Bulls this season. And in the final MAC home game against Akron, one the Bulls needed to win to make the conference tournament, Savannah began giving hugs

during stoppages in play. UB went on to sweep the match. “I told her her hugs were lucky,” senior Liz Scott said. “Savannah and her family have brought a new light to the team. She’s so upbeat, she’s got so much spirit, and when she gives us a high five or a smile on the bench, it lights up the whole team.” Being part of the UB team has also been a light in Savannah’s life. “It feels pretty good getting to know the girls, being here, encouraging them to win,” Savannah said

“The girls are wonderful with her,” said Savannah’s mother, Andrea. “They are excellent role models. They are just so sweet with her. They accept her for who she is, and support her for who she is.” UB will return all but two players from this year’s team, which finished 17-15 and tied a program record with six MAC wins in Sunahara’s first season. Savannah will also be back on the bench next season. “She’s part of the team,” Marotto said. “She’s part of our family.”

Hoppy helped Buff State to first postseason berth since 2000 By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

Growing up in the shadows of Ralph Wilson Stadium, Kyle Hoppy learned what it takes to conduct the comeback drive. Six years after he seemingly hung up his shoulder pads, Hoppy is doing just that at Buffalo State. Hoppy, the quarterback of Orchard Park High School’s 2008 state championship team, led the Bengals this year to their first eight-win season since 1998 and their first postseason appearance since 2000. Buffalo State finished the season at 8-3 with a lopsided victory in the ECAC Southwest Bowl, during which Hoppy had the best game of his career so far, passing for 335 yards and five touchdowns, tying the school record. Better yet for the Bengals, the 23-year-old business major still has two years of eligibility left.

After being drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 2009, Hoppy turned down a scholarship offer from Bucknell University to pursue a professional baseball career. He toiled in the minors for four years before reaching out to his former Orchard Park teammate and current Buffalo State assistant coach, Garret McLaughlin, about restarting his football career. Hoppy backed up another state champion quarterback, Casey Kacz (Sweet Home), last season, and won the starting job this year. Senior wide receiver Mike Doherty (Kenmore East) said the Bengals expected their firstyear starter would pick up right where the most prolific quarterback in school history left off. “I knew Kyle was going to be good, because he was a state champion in high school and a playmaker,” said Doherty, who graduated high school the same year as Hoppy. Hoppy showed a bit of rust after the long hiatus from

playing quarterback. He was benched in the second half twice and briefly lost his starting job. But by the end of the season, Hoppy had put together two straight standout performances, and coach Jerry Boyes believes Hoppy could establish himself as the top passer in school history over the next two years. “He has the skillset to do that,” Boyes said. “The potential is all right there. Now it’s just continuing to grow, from the mental aspect of the game.” Boyes said Hoppy made great strides toward the end of the season in reading defenses and calling plays at the line of scrimmage, a key element of the Bengals offense. Hoppy finished the season with a 54.1 percent completion rate, 2,258 yards and 22 touchdowns, one shy of the school record. He ranked first in the nation with 18.2 yards per completion and his 9.9 yards per attempt were the best

He also rushed for 302 yards and five touchdowns, putting him in the top 50 nationally in points accounted for. “This was a great year,” Hoppy said. “I really came into my own after not playing organized football for five years and backing up Casey last year.

“I’ve always loved the sport of football. I gave it a shot at baseball and it didn’t work out, but now I’m giving it another shot here in football and I’m loving it. Being here right now, it’s a great time to be here. I feel like I’m in a great place.” Buffalo State fell one win short of its ultimate goal of qualifying for the NCAA playoffs, but established a baseline of success by being selected for, and winning, one of the seven ECAC bowl games. “Coach Boyes always talks about making noise and this year we made noise in our conference and made noise nationally,” Hoppy said. “Now we need to keep making that noise and keep striving toward that ultimate goal of getting to the NCAA tournament and winning some games.” The Bengals put 11 players on the all-conference teams this year, and not one of them was Hoppy. Linebacker Marquis Artis (Amherst), who was named Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Year. Doherty, the pro-

gram’s all-time leading receiver, second all-time leading rusher Rich Pete, offensive lineman Brandon Lathrop (Kenmore West), linebacker Mitch Thomas (Sweet Home), linebacker Shaq Frederick, and kicker Marc Montana (St. Joe’s) were also first-team selections. Wide receiver Ryan Carney (Olean), defensive end Dez Howard (St. Francis), defensive tackle Anthony Sanders (McKinley), and cornerback Sherman Nelson made the second-team. Hoppy won’t have Pete to hand off to or Doherty at his disposal next season, but Carney, who set a school record with 12 touchdown catches, has another year left, and Boyes believes he has built the Bengals into a program that can withstand graduation losses. “If you’re doing things right, the faces change, but success stays,” Boyes said. “Tradition should not graduate.” Doherty, for his part, said, “If anybody is going to lead them to the (NCAA) playoffs, it’s going to be Kyle.”

The West Seneca & Elma Sun /Saturday, December 06, 2014

Despite the storm, Elmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Tree Lighting celebration to go on By William Homan SUN CORRESPONDENT

Make no mistake about it; residents of the Town of Elma will have a chance to spread some holiday cheer. The only question wasâ&#x20AC;Ś when? As the town prepped for its annual Tree Lighting and Festival of Trees, they were heavily affected because of the winter storm that left most of the Southtowns under a blanket of white. However, even after all of the snow, the show will go on. Sponsored by the Town of Elma, Elma Kiwanis Club, the Elma Historical Society, and the Boys and Girls Club of EMW, the annual Tree Lighting is scheduled to take place from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 6, at the Elma Town Museum. Elmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s churches, military groups, youth groups, Scouts, 4H, Camp Fire groups, garden clubs, businesses, and civic organizations were all being asked to participate with a tree of their own. Marlene Baumgartner of the Elma Historical Society, and one of the lead organizers of the event, talked about the impact the weather has had

it is definitely for the best.â&#x20AC;? For those who were not interested in being a part of the outdoor tree lighting, Baumgartner explained that the trees being decorated indoors served as an alternative. The Elma Historical Society had decorations available to use on any trees that were decorated inside the Museum House or on the front porch. Those participating in this portion of the event are asked to not use lights. Aside from the lighting of the tree, residents will also be able to enjoy a pet parade, photos with Santa, The Grinch, Mrs. Clause, hot chocolate, and Christmas carols. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are plenty of things to do for all ages,â&#x20AC;? Baumgartner stressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a truly great time for the town. Santa will be riding in a wagon drawn by a horse named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the Erie County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting for the kids and families.â&#x20AC;? If there are any questions surrounding the events taking place Saturday for the celebration of Christmas in Elma, contact the Town of Elma, the Elma Kiwanis, or the Elma Historical Society.

on the annual Tree Lighting and the supporting events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only have three trees that are participating in the Festival of Trees,â&#x20AC;? Baumgartner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the library that will have a tree with book decorations and then we also have the Boys and Girls Club that wants to do a tree outdoors with lights. And we have a really cool tree brought to us by the Elma Methodist Church.â&#x20AC;? Participants were asked to provide their own tree, tree stand, decorations, and heavy duty outdoor extension cord. Sponsors also asked that all tree lights used be LED. The tree could be real or artificial, but shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more than six feet tall. While the actual tree lighting isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scheduled to take place until Dec. 6, set up was to begin Nov. 28 and wrap up on Dec. 4, two days before the lighting. Although with the weather, plans were altered a little and trees are no longer being set up outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town worked very hard to get everything cleaned up,â&#x20AC;? Baumgartner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But with everybody having to spend days digging out and cleaning up, there just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any time for people to get a tree set up.
