C-NS wrestlers win first sectional Dual Meet title

by Phil blackwell

In years past, when the CiceroNorth Syracuse wrestling team played host to the Section III Dual Meet, it was mostly a spectator to the glory others had earned.

Now, though, was a chance for the Northstars to take it all – which it did, achieving yet another program landmark when it defeated Fulton for the title last Thursday night in front of an appreciative home crowd.

The Dual Meet originally had a seven-team field and was supposed to have its first two rounds Tuesday at Henninger, but icy weather postponed it –and then kept two of the teams, Indian River and Carthage, from traveling.

Thus, C-NS, the top seed, warmed up with a 57-15 win over Syracuse and then faced the big test in the semifinals against Jamesville-DeWitt/CBA as Liverpool met Fulton in the other semifinal.

To pull out the 33-23 win over the Rams, the Northstars had to trade blows until the final two bouts. At 102 pounds, Kevin Mossow gained a 6-2 decision over Dominic Shiano and Javone Dawkins, in the 110-pound finale, clinched it by pinning Carlos Barosso in the third period.

Prior to that, Anthony Ciciarelli (110 pounds) and John Sherbourne (172 pounds) earned pins, with Sean Aldrich (138 pounds) and Kennedy Thomas (145 pounds) getting decisions and Kamdin Bembry, at 215 pounds, earning three key points in a 3-1 decision over Bryce Dadey.

Meanwhile, Liverpool could not get past Fulton in the other semifinal, falling 55-18 as the lone Warriors’ points came from pins by Christian Coppin (132 pounds), Jayce Bliss (189 pounds) and Sajad Amirzada at 102 pounds.

When it came to the final, C-NS

saw Fulton get the jump, only to have the Northstars take over in the higher weight classes and prevail 34-19 for the championship.

Of the first four bouts, only Aldrich won, pinning Kallen Roberts in 99 seconds. Ayden Sprague (160 pounds) won 17-4 over Ethan Doran and Jonah Geller (152 pounds) held off Bailey Grubb 7-3.

After a forfeit to Austin Hartman at 189 pounds, Bembry’s 60-second pin of Mason Wendt and Joe Kobuzowski (285 pounds) edging Micah Collins 4-3 clinched the title.

The Northstars have earned a spot in this Saturday’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association Dual

Before all this, C-NS had won yet another tournament on Jan. 14 when it took the Phoenix Mid-Winter Classic with 199.5 points to edge the 195.5 total from runner-up Carthage.

John Sherbourne won at 172, claiming a tight 7-5 title bout over Central Square’s Dante Coppola. Bembry was second at 215 after a 5-1 defeat to the Redhawks’ Rocky Files.

Aldrich also was second, at 138, while three Northstars – Ciciarelli, Geller and Hartman – had third-place finishes, Hartman beating Khol Kalfass with a third-period pin in his consolation bracket final. Mossow was fourth

In the simultaneous Cazenovia Invitational, Liverpool was third with 139.5 points behind South Jefferson/Sandy Creek (158) and Homer (148.5).

Tyler Vivacqua (145), Connor Kral (152) and Dante Mallozzi (160) all reached the finals, and all lost, Kral getting closest in a 3-2 decision to Cortland’s Wyatt Tinker.

Pierce Goodave (118) pinned teammate Carson Rice for third place, with Khai Anderson (110) and Lucas Smith (132) each earning fifth place as Anthony Kelly (160) and Chase Bandy (189) were sixth.

Meet which will take place at SRC Arena and start at 9 a.m.

at 102, with Drew Baker fifth at 126 as Dawkins and Kozubowski (285) both got sixth-place finishes.

FIRST TIME CHAMPIONS: The Cicero-North Syracuse wrestling team won its first-ever Section III Dual Meet last Thursday, defeating Jamesville-DeWitt/CBA 33-23 in the semifinals and Fulton 34-19 in the finals.

The 2023 Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic will take place on Saturday, Feb. 4, the tournament’s alter nate date. Ice on Hia watha Lake at Onondaga Park won’t be thick enough to allow play on the one-day competition’s original date, Saturday, Jan. 28.

“The forecast for late January and early Febru ary looks promising, so

we’ve told our teams to be ready to lace up their skates on Feb. 4,” said Tim O’Donnell, tournament director. “Each winter brings different weather. Last year, it was in the single digits on game day. In our first year, it was in the mid 30s. That’s part of the challenge and appeal of pond hockey.”

Festival seeks applicants for $2,000 prize

Applications Now Being Accepted for the 2023 Robinson Award skaneateles

The Skaneateles Festival is now accepting applications for the 22nd annual Robinson Award, a $2,000 prize designed to recognize an outstanding young musician for success in music performance, citizenship and contributions to the community.

In 2002 the Skaneateles Festival created the Robinson Award, an annual scholarship prize, to honor the memory of David and Louise Robinson, for their many years of tireless devotion to the festival and its ideals. The award is given annually to a young musician whose character, musicianship, and community service reflect the values of David and Louise Robinson – enthusiasm and dedication to music of high quality.

For 36 years the Robinsons opened their hearts and their Skaneateles home to musicians, their families and the audiences who came to hear them perform. Their lakeside residence, Brook Farm, served as a gathering place and rehearsal space for musicians, as well as the performance venue for the Skaneateles Festival’s outdoor Saturday evening concerts.

Applications from students between the ages of 13 and 18 residing in the Central New York region will be considered. Requirements include: two letters of recommendation; a written personal statement; and a 10-15 minute recording of their playing or singing. The annual presentation of the award is made at a festival concert in August and is accompanied by a $2,000 prize. The recipient may also be invited to perform at a Skaneateles Festival event.

Donate blood in January for chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl

As National Blood Donor Month continues this January, the American Red Cross celebrates those who give blood and platelets to help save lives − especially now, as we work to ensure a stable blood supply amid the threat of icy winter weather and severe seasonal illness.

Donors of all blood types – particularly type O blood donors, the most needed blood group by hospitals – and platelet donors are needed daily to meet demand.

The start of the new year is one of the most challenging times to collect enough blood products, despite the constant demand.

One in seven patients entering a hospital will need a blood transfusion – yet only 3% of the public gives blood.

Don’t wait until there’s a crisis to donate. To book a time to give blood or platelets, visit RedCrossBlood.org, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or call 1-800-RED CROSS.

In partnership with the National Football League (NFL), those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma through Jan. 31, 2023, will be automatically entered to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, including access to day-of, in-stadium pre-game activities, tickets to the official Super Bowl Experience, round-trip airfare to Phoenix, three-night hotel accommodations (Feb. 10-13, 2023), plus a $500 gift card for expenses.

Round robin play will begin at 10 a.m. Championship round play is scheduled to start around 3:30 p.m. 16 teams will compete on six rinks. The players will compete on pond ice surrounded by stone walls, historic homes and the rolling hills of Onondaga Park in the Strathmore neighborhood.

Fans are encouraged to attend what is becoming a major winter event in Syracuse. The Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic features free skating, music, food and beverages. Onondaga Park has space for a large crowd of spectators on the banks of Hiawatha Lake.

A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

“The Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic gets more popular, more competitive and more fun every year. It attracts players who are serious about hockey and itching to play outdoors where most of them fell in love with the game,” said Tim O’Donnell, tournament director. “What’s also exciting is that the Syracuse Pond Hockey Classic is becoming a winter tradition with great food and drinks, free ice skating and winter fun.

Are you sure you want to become a ‘scratch golfer?’

By Perry Noun

I believe the phrase “Scratch Golfer” is one of the most miss used and miss understood terms in golf, especially if you’re new to the sport.

Let’s get something straight right now… becoming a “Scratch Golfer” is one of the most di cult things to achieve as a nonprofessional amateur golfer. According to the United States Golf Association, a “Scratch Golfer” is de ned as, “A player who can play to a Course Handicap of ‘zero’ on any and all rated golf courses. A male ‘Scratch Golfer’ for rating purposes, can hit tee shots an average of 250 yards and can reach a 470 yard hole in two shots at sea level. A female ‘Scratch Golfer’, for rating purposes, can hit tee shots an average of 210 yards and can reach a 400 yard hole in two shots at sea level”. Many ‘elite’ and even ‘good’ amateurs (male and female) can achieve these levels of distance on any given day. However, the USGA de nition implies the statistics must be achieved on a consistent basis… day a er day, a er day and we haven’t even discussed statistics for greens in regulation, putting, up-and-down from o the green and bunker play.

Let’s describe it another way. A “Scratch Golfer” is a ‘zero’ handicap golfer who is “expected” to shoot par on any golf course he/she plays. In addition, the “Scratch Golfer” can not only hit the required distances, they can also do the following…

* Hit over 50% of greens in regulation.

* Has the ability to make eagles on par 5’s.

* Average 36 or fewer puts per golf round.

* Has the ability to make multiple birdies in a round of golf.

* Rarely makes a double or triple bogie.

* Gets up and down to save par over 50% of the time when missing the green with their approach shot.

Can an ‘elite’ amateur “Scratch Golfer” become a PGA Tour Player? Absolutely, but it won’t be easy. It is very competitive to become a Professional Golfer and the vast majority of “Scratch Golfers” would still fall far short of being successful. A study was done to compare the abilities of PGA Tour players with “Scratch Golfers”.

e study found, “ ere is still about a 5 stroke di erence in scoring between these two ‘elite’ types of players”. PGA Tour players usually have an advantage over the “Scratch Golfer” in driving distance and short game scrambling. Also, on the PGA Tour, the fairways are o en much narrower and the rough is much higher than the “Scratch Golfer” is used to playing. is requires exceptional consistently o the tee as well as the ability to hit shots from the much higher rough that makes it more di cult to hit greens in regulation. And nally, when “Scratch Golfers” get to the green, the degree of di culty of the greens on the PGA Tour, compared to the courses a “Scratch Golfer” plays, is signi cant.

Still want to become a “Scratch Golfer”?

Follow this plan from the Foy Golf Academy:

1. Establish a Golf Handicap (4 or better) 2. Hire a Swing Coach 3. Practice, Practice and Practice (at least 20 hours per week)

4. Compete in Tournaments (and win) 5. Stay Motivated, Passionate and Exhibit a Great Attitude

6. Give Yourself a 3 year timeline to become a “Scratch Golfer”

For sure, there is a skill di erence between the PGA Tour players and ‘elite’ amateur “Scratch Golfers”. However, achieving the status of becoming a “Scratch Golfer”, is still a remarkable achievement because it puts you into the “Top 1% of all golfers in the world.

Keep warm safely

While compared to other years this winter so far has been relatively mild, we have still had some fairly cold days and even if it hasn’t been the bone chilling cold that often defines this season, it is still cold enough we have to take extra measures to keep our homes warm.

Whether this effort involves a fire place, gas or electric heating systems or other kinds of heaters it is important to make the effort to be safe.

According to the Firefighters Association of the State of New York, FASNY, winter is a time when fire departments usually see an increase in home fires.

According to the organization nearly half of all home heating equipment fires are occurring during December, January and February. Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure and poisonings also increase during these months.

“There is an increased risk of home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning this time of year as residents use space heaters, portable heating sources, gas furnaces, and fireplaces to heat their homes,” FASNY President Edward Tase, Jr., said in a press release. “We encourage New Yorkers to take proper precautions when they heat their homes this season.”

According to the National Fire Prevention Association, heating equipment is the second leading cause of US home fires and the third leading cause of home fire deaths. Space heaters are the type of equipment most often involved in home heating equipment fires, accounting for more than two of every five fires (44%), as well as the vast majority of deaths and injuries in home fires caused by heating equipment.

Homeowners should keep space heaters a safe distance from combustible materials, such as curtains, bedding, and upholstered furniture. To prevent CO exposure and poisoning, avoid the indoor use of unvented gas-burning appliances, unvented gas or wood-burning stoves, and unvented fireplaces.

“Homeowners should check that all heating equipment is functioning properly and that furnace and dryer vents are clear of ice and other debris,” Tase said. “As we turn up the heat, it is crucial to ensure that there are working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors on each floor of the home and outside of sleeping areas. These devices can be the difference between life and death. We want all New Yorkers to be fire-safe this winter and remember— if there is a fire: get out, stay out, and call 911.”

Gov. Hochul, according to FASNY, recently signed legislation to help address some of these concerns particularly involving space heaters.

This legislation requires all space heaters sold in New York to have a thermostat and automatic shutoff and be certified by a recognized certification organization.

FASNY also shared the following tips to keep safe:

Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment. Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters.

Never use your oven to heat your home.

Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions.

Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional.

Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Always use the right kind of fuel specified by the manufacturer, for fuel-burning space heaters.

All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home.

Test smoke alarms at least once a month.

ruminatinG on reality

I watched a fascinating program on PBS about dogs and how their sense of smell far outstrips ours. It got me thinking about how we interact with what we call reality. Let’s think about it. Would we love to hang our heads out of the car window to pick up the marvelous world of scents that are so enticing to our canine companions? Probably not, unless we had ingested some form of mind altering substance

What is real to a person who is color blind is different than that of someone who has complete human color vision. What about those creatures whose color perception is wider than that of humans? Their reality is then different from that of our species, color blind or not.

The world is full of sound. There are sounds that children and teens can hear that people older than 20 can’t and the other sounds that have gradually disappeared for those of us who are of an even more mature nature. My offspring will ask us to turn off the TV in the kitchen because of the high-pitched sound it makes. The spouse and I look at each other and ask, “What high pitched sound?” Then there are the sounds that spouses are incapable of hearing when uttered by their counterpart. Things like the faucet is leaking or the garbage needs taking out.

Just what is real? I can remember,

Bob’s biggest battle

My advisor, and he must have had a good laugh, advised me to take this graduate level course to round out my last semester as an undergraduate. Talk about being lost. These students were throwing around ideas and questions that, for me, might as well have been written or spoken in ancient Sanskrit.

Determined or crazy, I persisted, and while I was looking up the meaning of the word syllogism the rest of the class was discussing Descartes and Plato and things like “multiple worlds” which, I have found is a link to physics theory. In any case, I just barely passed this course, but what I did learn was that, most of the time, the debate was about what was real. Now, this meant taking into consideration the differences in cultural and physical ability to come to grips with the stuff of reality … whatever that is. And Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. had its own grim reality.

The physicist talks about matter and states of matter that have no meaning for most of us in everyday life. Sub particle physics describes states of matter that are of little use when you are trying to figure out why the nob in the kitchen cabinet keeps falling off. The reality of their world is also ours, but less accessible

because of education, experience and the use of obscure words like “charm.”

Dr. Fauci could lecture us about the ways in which our environment, our diets and our vaccine status affect our health while we contemplate the reality of the sweet seduction of a cream filled donut. Lunch to my daughter means a gigantic salad. To her sons, lunch means anything but salad.

And, on the same or barely-related topic, have you ever wondered why our pets learn to understand words while we have not a clue about what their utterances mean? The world of your pet is not the same as yours. Their receptors for sight, sound, touch and smell are much wider than ours. They don’t see what we see. While their color reception is often less, their depth of field is much greater, as is their ability to hear, smell and interpret touch. In that sense, they are living in a different world than we are. Which may explain why none of our cats respond to their names but will be right at my side when I ask who would like a yummy.

If I could apply all of this rumination to Congress, I might be less anxious and better able to sleep at night.

Ann Ferro is a mother, a grandmother and a retired social studies teacher. While still figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up, she lives in Marcellus with lots of books, a spouse and a large orange cat.

Historic Moment: Last yellow fire truck

Random Thoughts

Just about every minute since I started this job in another millennium all those seasons ago, he’s been there, an essential character in area high school sports.

Most of those winters, he would arrive at the bench, surrounded by assistant coaches, calmly checking his notes as his teams warmed up, always in a shirt and tie and those trademark suspenders.

Then the game tipped off, and the transformation was instant. Four quarters (or more) of instructing, pleading, cajoling, and plenty of words for officials whenever whistles didn’t go his team’s way.

Far more often than not, his teams won. Whether at Jamesville-DeWitt or later at Bishop Grimes, Bob McKenney would coach basketball teams that, come late February and early March, would pick up a steady stream of banners and plaques.

All of these are noteworthy now because McKenney is battling not against Westhill or CBA or Bishop Ludden, but something that cares not for championship resumes.

Late last year, Bob found out that he had breast cancer, which happens far more often among men than we’d like to admit. After some early treatments, he is now amid chemotherapy sessions.

Yet except for the absence of his curly hair and the more casual outfits most coaches wear these days at games, you’d never know this is a 64-year-old man battling for his life.

By JORGE BATLLE skaneateLes Fire dePartment historian

Tradition in the fire service runs very deep. One tradition is the color of the fire trucks. They are slow to change. In the City of Syracuse, back in the 1950s, all their apparatus were white. At the end of the 1970s, Syracuse trucks were ordered or repainted OSHA safety yellow. This color goes back to 1937 when school busses were being painted OSHA safety yellow. In 1997 Syracuse took delivery of their last safety yellow truck, designated Rescue 1. Now all of the Syracuse trucks are familiar standard red.

Skaneateles Fire Department also went through fire truck color changes. The first pumping engine was the 1822 hand pumper that is on display at the fire station. It is black with gold painted embellishments. As far back as the department’s historian’s files show, Skaneateles apparatus were the traditional red color. The first fire truck photographed in color shows a 1939 Dodge open cab pumper truck being red. The department restored its red 1951 Mack pumper, which is proudly shown off in parades. The department used a conventional delivery van painted red in the 1950s for rescue services. This was replaced by a much larger mobile library style van in the late 1970s. It too was red.

The first safety yellow fire truck for Skaneateles was back in 1973. These rigs were mounted on conventional Ford truck chassis. There was a slight change in the early 1990s when the cab roofs of the trucks

the routine calls like trash fires, and other minor incidents. This saved wear and tear on the full sized apparatus. The mini pumper concept was slowly adopted by many of the suburban, volunteer fire departments. Skaneateles saw the value in the mini in getting down the tight fire lanes on each side of the lake. Using its 4-wheel drive capability, the mini could be of value in fighting grass and field fires. In 1980, Skaneateles bought its mini based on a Chevrolet chassis and assembled by E-One of Ocala, Florida. In 2004, the original Chevrolet chassis was replaced and modifications were made by a local fire equipment service. The Skaneateles mini was painted safety yellow.

The final paint scheme for Skaneateles trucks came when first due Engine 11 needed upgrading. It was changed from yellow to white over red. This is now the color of all the Skaneateles trucks, except for the mini pumper.

The department has on order a replacement for the mini. It will be the current white over red paint scheme. The old yellow mini pumper was recently put up for auction, and is awaiting pickup by its new owner. The era of the yellow fire trucks has ended for the Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department. Red is the choice, as history repeats itself.

Ramblings from the empty nest ann Ferro

Phil Blackwell

the editor: Russ Tarby’s article on Sheriff Toby Shelley was right on. I have lost a great deal of respect for former Sheriff Gene Conway and County Executive Ryan McMahon for the partisan politi-

FROM

Turns out his real name was Savalan Harriger, but here in the village everyone called him Sonny.

As the original owner of The Village Barber Shop at First and Tulip streets, Sonny Harriger gave me my first haircut long about 1955, shortly after he was honorably discharged as a U.S. Army corporal after serving in the Korean War.

I didn’t know anything about his military exploits, but I always relished those sweet suckers he awarded me after each haircut.

Sonny’s dad, Joe Harriger, also worked as a barber. His middle name was George, so Sonny took that as his first name to replace the atypical Savalan, a moniker of Scottish origin. But here in the village everyone called him Sonny.

While he was a kind and capable barber, Sonny also excelled as a musician, in fact he became a state champion fiddler.

No wonder the barber shop’s radio was eternally tuned to WSEN-AM, known as “the first country station north of the Mason–Dixon line.”

State champion fiddler

Sad to say, Sonny Harriger, late of Homer, died on Jan. 6. He was 89 years old.

Over the years, Sonny was named NY State Grand Champion Fiddle Player three times. He was inducted into the NYS Fiddlers Hall of Fame in 1977 and the NYS Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004. He once performed for the Grand Master Fiddler Championship in Nashville.

Over the course of his career, he composed 26 old-time fiddle tunes and recorded three albums. He appeared at many music festivals across the Southern Tier and Northern Pennsylvania and had accompanied entertainers from the Grand Ole Opry.

Sonny was a man of many talents and interests. In his free time, he enjoyed listening to various genres of music, making homemade whistles and spinning tops, picking berries, digging leaks, hunting and hiking in the woods.

lorraine henning also gone

We belatedly learned of the passing of former village restaurateur Lorraine Henning who died Nov. 28, 2022 in New Bern, N.C. The feisty lady was 79 years old and had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease and a traumatic brain injury.

Lorraine lived in Liverpool for 42 years, and for about 10 years she owned and operated Hen-

ning’s Wharf, a restaurant at 110 S. Cypress St. well-known for its grilled burgers and fish fries.

Shortly before her passing, Lorraine took her last flight home to Liverpool with her favorite “stewardess,” her daughter Elle, who took care of her for the past two-anda-half years.

Golden Bee hosts trivia fundraiser

Bibliophile Casey Rose Frank opened her Golden Bee Bookshop in 2019 over at the Village Mall. Last year, she moved to a much larger location at 324 First St.

“After three years of growth and change I’m hoping to be able to dig in and be able to think about the bookshop long-term,” Casey wrote in a recent email. “I want to offer more unique events, partnering with other passionate small businesses in our community and ensuring that Golden Bee’s doors stay open for years to come.”

To that end, consider attending the Golden Bee’s first-ever trivia fundraiser adventure from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28. The cost for competitors is $35 each; goldenbeebookshop. com; 315-299-5558.

Hot hockey player

Syracuse Crunch all-star center Alex BarreBoulet is a real play-maker!

Last week, the 25-year-old stick-handler tied Brad Moran for the franchise lead in points with 241. Moran played here for five seasons in the early part of this century.

Barre-Boulet won the AHL’s Red Garrett Memorial Award for his remarkable rookie season 2018-19 and he’s now playing his fourth season with Syracuse. So far this year, Alex has netted 10 goals and 32 assists over 33 games.

The southpaw forward from Montmagny, Quebec made his NHL debut in 2020 with the Crunch’s parent club, the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The 2023 AHL All-Star Game will be played Feb. 6 in Laval, Quebec. Ten days later, Alex and his wife, Ann-Marie, will celebrate the first birthday of their son, Zack.

Last word “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

–Casey Rose Frank, owner of the Golden Bee Bookshop.

Not for more than a day has McKenney gone away from his tasks as both coach and athletic director at Bishop Grimes, taking in all kinds of school activities and even taking part in a benefit last weekend at the school.

It’s funny. Sometimes we bristle at the competitive nature of our most successful coaches, or successful people in any profession, questioning their single-minded determination and focus.

And when we’re at the game, seeing McKenney or someone else express themselves, it’s understandable to tell them to cool down, or of course ask for the technical foul, usually at a high volume.

Yet it’s that very intensity, focus and drive that is absolutely perfect for what McKenney is facing. Anyone who’s gone through a cancer battle or knows someone who’s faced it – which is just about everyone – will say that attitude is critical. The more we fight, the better our chances.

Oh, and the timing is poignant.

We’re near the 30-year mark of when we lost Jim Valvano. In biological terms, to compare the two stories is impossible since the cancer that took Jimmy V’s life was far more virulent and advanced, and in a different part of the body, too.

Still, we all know how Valvano spent the last year of his life – battling, fighting, inspiring, and ultimately laying the groundwork for the V Foundation for Cancer Research that has saved countless others, young and old.

Whether they accept the

premise or not (and most do), coaches are leaders, especially at the scholastic level. Far beyond the games, wins and losses, what they teach, and how they behave, will leave a permanent impression on young people, so it’s crucial for them to set as good an example as possible.

Thus, seeing McKenney continue an astonishing level of activity in the middle of a cancer battle must convey a message of hope and resilience, both to his team and to anyone else paying attention.

Plus it’s something we can all agree on. Back when McKenney was coaching at J-D, it was easy to say that his titles were a byproduct of having supreme talent on hand. The way his tenure ended at J-D and his subsequent chapter at Grimes left hard feelings that have decreased, but not gone away.

Cast all of that aside, though. Certainly rival schools, coaches and officials have done so, all sending their best wishes to McKenney in recent months, understanding that this transcends basketball.

Good thing, too, because if you didn’t know better, whenever you head out to watch Bishop Grimes as they move toward another post-season appearance, Bob McKenney is still there, working as hard as ever, seeking every possible edge as fans cheer and boo in response.

When it comes to cancer, though, everyone is on the same team, facing the same common opponent, and praying for a bigger victory than anything you can find on a scoreboard.

C-NS, Liverpool ice hockey take defeats

by Phil blackwell

In what amounted to a mid-season breather, the Cicero-North Syracuse ice hockey team played just once in the span between its Jan. 12 win over Ithaca and Tuesday’s trip to State Fair Coliseum to play Fayetteville-Manlius. But that game was a big one, the Northstars on home ice trying to break the 10-game win streak of state Division I no. 11-ranked Baldwinsville last Wednesday night. For the most part, it was a fine effort by C-NS, but it lost 4-1 to the Bees, who made it 11 in a row with a quick start and another strong performance on the defensive side. The

Bees jumped out to a 2-0 advantage by the end of the first period, then absorbed Chase Mearon’s second-period tally, assisted by Kyle Debejian and Hayden Scott, and answered it to make it 3-1, adding an insurance goal in the third.

Four different B’ville players – Fernando Moreno, Brayden Penafeather-Stevenson, Nolan Burlingame and Brady Garcia – netted those four goals, with Jake Gipe, Garrett Sutton and Leo Vona joining Penafeather-Stevenson and Morenon in the assist column.

That it didn’t turn into more was due to Ethan Mackenzie’s fine work in the net, Mackenzie recording 45 saves. Bees goalie Jon Schrimer stopped

24 of C-NS’s 25 shots.

A night earlier, Liverpool hosted Syracuse at State Fair Coliseum and got another virtuoso performance in goal from James Welch, the Warriors dragging the Cougars to overtime before taking a 2-1 defeat. For the night, Welch had 52 saves and blanked the Cougars from the first period until the OT game-winner. Nick Rayfield and Adam Frye got on the board for Syracuse. Jameson Bucktooth added an assist Yet all Liverpool could manage was a first-period goal by Calen Brown, assisted by Andrew Gabor. The Warriors were held to just 12 shots overall.

Then, hosting Cazenovia two nights later, the Warriors

scott thomas

took a 4-2 defeat, unable to get on the board until the third period after the Lakers had built a 4-0 advantage. Evan Haskins and Erol Abadzic earned those goals, with assists going to Alex Kirkby, Dylan Ling, Cole Bradley and Reilly Bizgia. Between them, Welch and Trevor Smith made 40 saves, with Cazenovia getting the jump as Logan Hull scored twice in the first and Jack Donlin got goals in each of the first two periods.

Liverpool would have its own game against Baldwinsville on Wednesday in between C-NS going to State Fair Coliseum to face F-M and hosting Oswego on Thursday night.

Liverpool battles to wins over F-M, Nottingham

by Phil blackwell

Just because the Liverpool boys basketball team had emerged from its first clash with West Genesee possessing an overtime victory did not mean it was done with key SCAC Metro division tests.

In fact, some tough road games loomed, including last Friday’s visit to FayettevilleManlius, which took on an extra dimension because Andreo Ash, injured in practice, would miss this game. But the Warriors more than proved its resilience, withstanding everything the Hornets threw at them and winning 57-48 against an F-M side far improved from the one it handled at home in December. Jeff Manuel took Ash’s place in the starting lineup and, from the outset, worked hard in the paint, especially on defense, where he helped his teammates frustrate F-M for long stretches of the first half. Never trailing after the game’s opening minutes, the Warriors’ margin would remain

steady throughout the first half and then stretch to 33-22 in the third quarter before a 7-0 run got F-M closer. Trevor Roe, held in check most of the way, led the Hornets’ rally, scoring seven of his 13 points in the fourth quarter as, twice, F-M pulled within three, including 50-47 with less than three minutes left. But the Warriors made several more key stops at the end, having seen Jah’Deuir Reese earn a gamehigh 16 points despite playing the fourth quarter with four fouls. Manuel, aside from his 12 points, had seven rebounds and two blocks, with Wingate also getting 12 points.

Before this, Liverpool hosted Nottingham last Tuesday night, and that game proved a battle, too, the Warriors heavily leaning on its defense to defeat the Bulldogs 57-46. Holding Nottingham to four points in the first quarter, Liverpool allowed itself time to get on track. Eventually bulding a 24-15 halftime margin that it mostly main-

tained the rest of the way.

The offense leaned heavily on sh, who got 24 points, andReese, who got 16 points. Fred Fowler added eight points as the Warriors overcame 19 points from the Bulldogs’ Steyvon Jones.

Cicero-North Syracuse off its own defeat to Liverpool Jan. 10, had returned to winning form, continuing it last Monday afternoon with an 87-71 victory over Corcoran.

Steadily, the Northstars estabilshed a 43-29 edge by halftime. Corcoran played on relatively even terms the rest of the way but never really made C-NS stress too much.

The duo of Andrew Benedict and Reece Congel again stood out, Benedict striking for 25 points and Congel earning 24 points as Michael Pfautz (11 points) and Michael Gallo (10 points) also hit double figures. These same teams met again two night later, and once more the two sides played an action-packed contest that C-NS was able

to win, this one by a score of 91-79. By far, the biggest story in this game was the rare feat pulled off by Benedict and Congel, who consistently found their way to the basket as the Northstars built up a 73-59 through three quarters. It marked the first time that C-NS teammates both topped the 30-point mark – Benedict with 31 points, Congel with 30 points. Gallo helped, too, equaling Benedict’s five 3-pointers and finishing with 19 points, all of it overcoming a 37-point effort from Corcoran’s Jaiden Holloman and 27 points from Amir Reaves.

But when C-NS took its turn against Nottingham on Friday, it dropped a 62-60 thriller to the Bulldogs, who avenged a 63-56 defeat to the Northstars in late December.

In a game close start to finish, Jones’ 33 points helped carry the Nottingham attack. In defeat, Benedict put up 22 points, but Congel was held to 10 points as Terrance Coppack got 13 points.

Liverpool swimmers drop clash with Fulton

by Phil blackwell

Unbeaten and sitting atop the Salt City Athletic Conference midway through January, the Liverpool boys swim team had company with Fulton and Jamesville-DeWitt/ CBA. Two of them would go head-to-head last Wednesday night, and it was Fulton getting the best of the Warriors, the Red Raiders leading from the opening race all the way to the end as it prevailed 94-86. Fulton won each of the first seven events. Not until the 500-yard freestyle, when Nate Alexander pulled away to take it in five minutes, 17.19 second and Ryan Vann (5:54.76), did Liverpool get in the win column. Still, helped by a series of high finishes and Joe Lisi’s 100 breaststroke win in 1:08.20, the Warriors only trailed, 86-80, heading to the final race, the 400 freestyle relay. Lisi and Alexander, joined

by Jack Cavallerano and Trevor Selig, went 3:32.88, only to have Fulton’s quartet of Bryce Rogers, T.J Clayton, Chris Mandart and Logan Ames win in 3:31.17 and clinch the meet. Cavallerano, in 23.09 seconds, was runner-up to Rogers (22.64) in the 50 freestyle and went 57.15 in the 100 butterfly to finish second behind Clayton’s 54.66. In the 100 backstroke, James Hayden’s 1:00.36 was runner-up to Mandart’s 59.99. A tight 200 freestyle had Alexander, in 1:53.57, inches behind Mandart’s 1:53.53, and in the 200 individual medley Lisi went 2:08.74 but Clayton won in 2:08.03. Selig went 52.45 seconds in the 100 freestyle, second to Rogers (50.52) as Colin Gridley was second in diving with 209.40 points to the 235.15 from Fulton’s Will Patterson.

Before they returned to regular-season action, Liverpool and C-NS both made

appearances at the Jan. 13 Griffin Sprint Meet at Nottingham High School. To lead the Northstars, Joey Swenton nearly won the 100 breaststroke, his 1:04.62 only trailing the 1:03.68 from Oneida’s Sun-Jin Shah, followed by a 50 breaststroke where Swenton’s 29.44 was again runnerup to Shah, who went 29.14 as Donavan Medina (30.65) finished eighth. Swenton added a fifth in the 100 individual medley in 59.63. In 25.56, Jacob Griffin got second to Skaneateles’ Gavin Van Kersbergen (25.14) in the rarelycontested 50 backstroke. Caden Griffin got third in the 100 butterfly in 56.56 and sixth in the 25 freestyle in 10.74. In the 200 medley relay, Swenton and Anthony Gabrielli helped the Griffins get to third in 1:44.11. Cavallerano, Lisi, Alexander and Sean O’Neil had Liverpool fourth in 1:48.44. Cavallerano

was sixth in the 50 freestyle in 23.11 seconds and fifth in the 100 backstroke in 1:01.06. Gridley had 384.60 points for seventh place in diving. Lisi took eighth in the 100 IM in 1:01.16 and Alexander was 11th in the 100 freestyle/ C-NS went from here to Friday’s meet against Syracuse City, also at Nottingham, where the Northstars were able to prevail by a score of 95-78. Caden Griffin, in 22.82 seconds, held off Jacob Griffin (22.83) by one-hundredth of a second in the 50 freestyle, with Jacob later going 52.34 in the 100 freestyle as Caden won the 100 butterfly in 58.53. In the 200 IM, Swenton prevailed in 2:10.24 and later swam the 500 freestyle in 5:18.99. Connor Burke stepped up to take the 200 freestyle in 2:08.71 as Gabrielli swam the 100 backstroke in 1:02.52 and Medina went 1:11.14 in the 100 breaststroke.

Liverpool girls get big wins over Ludden, F-M

by Phil blackwell

Once the Liverpool girls basketball team got the upper hand on rival Cicero-North Syracuse in their first head-to-head clash on Jan. 9, both sides would face busy, crowded slates inside and outside of league play. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Liverpool was at home to face Bishop Ludden, a game scheduled when both teams saw December trips get canceled – the Warriors to the Disney complex in Florida, the Gaelic Knights to Long Island. In the first of two meetings between these contenders in as many weeks, the Warriors took command with its defense and, aided by poor shooting on Ludden’s part, rolled to a 58-35 victory. A long stretch bridging the first and second quarters saw Liverpool put together a 24-2 run, its defensive pressure both forcing turnovers and frustrating Ludden’s alltime leading scorer, Amarah Streiff.

Ultimately, Streiff had just 10 points, barely half what Neveah Wingate got as she had 18 points and A’Briyah Cunningham finished with 14 points. Grace Sleeth got 10 points.

In C-NS’s case, it meant hosting the “Best of New York” Tournament on Jan. 14 and 15, ultimately splitting those pair of games, starting with a 60-38 victory over Section VI’s Lancaster. The Northstars built a 25-16 halftime lead and then outscored the Legends 24-7 in the third quarter to get clear, Kathleen Taru leading with 17 points and Maddy Howell adding 16 points.

Turning around less than 24 hours later, C-NS met Section II power Shenendehowa and, despite leading most of the way, was unable to hang on in a 67-63 loss to the Plainsmen. Strong on both ends in the first half, the Northstars steadily built a 3122 advantage, only to see Shen solve C-NS’s defense in a highscoring third quarter and make up most of the ground. Then the Plainsmen went in front in the final period, led by Brianna Carey, who had 23 of her 31 points in the second half, that late haul equaling Taru’s 23-point effort. Howell remained steady with 17 points, Grace Villnave adding eight points.

The divergent paths of the rivals continued Friday night, Liverpool routing Fayetteville-Manlius 56-20 as C-NS, facing Section V’’s Webster Schroeder, lost by a score of 73-60.

The Warriors limited the Hornets to just six points in the first half and spread its production around, too, no one getting more than Jakeira Stackhouse’s total of 11 points as Gianna Washington got nine points, with Cunningham and Janea Hamilton-Brown earning eight points apiece.

Not far away, C-NS and Webster Schroeder played at a ferocious pace in the first half, the Northstars only trailing 45-40 at the break before Schroeder got away, this despite 20 points from Maddy Howell and 17 points from Taru. Brianna Weaver added nine points.

l’pool girls bowlers drop rematch with B’ville

by Phil blackwell

Just before 2022 ended, the Liverpool girls bowling team conquered its neighbors from Baldwinsville to stay unbeaten and move to the top of the Salt City Athletic Conference Metro division. But when these same two sides met again last Tuesday at Flamingo Bowl, it went in the other direction as the Bees, at full strength, prevailed 7-0 over the Warriors. Kenzie Gill still had the best individual series, her games of 234, 212 and 206 producing a 652 aggregate that edged the 634 series from B’ville’s Julia Speich that included a third-game 243.

Sara Conover had games of 189 and 187 in her 508 set as Kenzi Ormsby started with 173 and 191, but fell to a 116 in her 480 series ahead of Yilena Russell’s 411 set.

The Liverpool boys beat B’ville with a 4-3 decision. In the opening game, the Warriors had a 1,042 to edge the Bees’ 1,004, and then won the second game 1,137-1,010 led by Zach Doing’s 230 and Wes Lell’s 223. Doing also had games of 179 and 166 in his 575 set. Aiden Hunter had a 487 series, with Kyle Lake shooting 192 during his 469.

Another big match came on Friday against FayetevilleManlius at Green Lakes Lanes, with the girls Warriors getting back to the win column with a 7-0 shutout of the Hornets. Ormsby shot games of 184, 228 and 224 to finish with a 636 series, followed closely by Gill, whose steady 194, 186 and `199 led to 579 set. Samantha Estock led F-M with a three-game total of 620.

Liverpool’s boys lost 5-2 to F-M, though Doing had games of 216 and 209 in his 609 series and Jackson Allen finished with a 234 in his 594 set. The Hornets got a 663 series from Sean Bird and a 606 series from Gabriel Williams.

Cicero-North Syracuse was back in action last Thursday against West Genesee, where it swept both of its matches over the Wildcats 7-0 at Strike-N-Spare Lanes. Jacob Calabria’s 544 series, capped by games of 191 and 203, paced the boys Northstars. Jonathan Artz had a three-game total of 525, with Tom O’Connell (515 series) just ahead of Nehemiah Bachman (514 series) as Garrett Arnold’s 213 was part of a 511 set. Marissa Leone led the C-NS girls with a 191 opening game in her 451 series as Jennifer Draper added a three-game total of 426, though they trailed the 540 series from WG’s Lorelai Leskoske.
