About 1,500 students, sta! and community members ral-lied at Tuesday’s West Genesee boys’ varsity basketball game in support of a friend they were not ready to lose. Craig Rienhardt, 17, died at his home in the town of Onondaga early

the next morning a"er battling cancer.

Super intendent Chris Brown said students and sta! #rst heard the news at 6 a.m. on Wednesday Jan. 12.

“Our school really is a fami-ly, and when we lose somebody, it is really like we’re losing one of our own kids,” Brown said, adding that for a lot of the stu-dents, it’s their #rst look at “not being invincible.”

$e school community took Wednesday to grieve, and by $ursday had begun to think of ways to help memorialize Craig and reach out to his family. Craig le" behind his parents, Mark and Ellen; two sisters, Sarah and Karen; his brother, Eric; and several aunts,

uncles and cousins.“It’s a very personal time

where you realize how close of a family you are, even though you’re in a building that has 1,700 students,” Brown said.

Austin Gambino, Peter Johnson and Lindsey Sweet, friends and classmates of Craig, led a blue ribbon cam-paign during the school day Tuesday Jan. 11, and organized a 50/50 ra%e that raised well over $1,000 during the #rst half of the game against Corcoran.

“I really think that all in at-tendance felt they would have an opportunity to give him what they raised, and they didn’t have a chance to do that,” Brown said.

Bishop’s Academy at St. Charles to close

By Tami [email protected]

Bishop’s Academy at St. Charles Borromeo in the town of Geddes will close at the end of the school year, Bishop Robert J. Cunningham announced last Monday night to faculty, sta! and parents.

$e school is one of three other academies the Syracuse Catholic Diocese is dissolving, including the Cathedral at Pompei, Holy Fam-ily and Most Holy Rosary. $e latter two will transition to parish schools.

According to diocesan o&cials, each school community was asked to prepare a viability study to #nd out if it were feasible to continue school operations at the parish level. $e plans were submitted and reviewed, and it was de-termined St. Charles would cease operations in 2011.

“$ese are di&cult days to operate a school whether it is private or public,’ said Superinten-dent Christopher Mominey. “Unfortunately, #nancial support has decreased and enrollment trends have declined which have had a direct impact on operating costs.”

Mominey said the diocese will assist families with a smooth conversion; it is o!ering a $650 transition scholarship to students who enroll in another Catholic elementary school.

St. Charles School has served its community for more than 60 years.

West Genesee considers salary freezeSchool district could be faced with $4.5 million budget gap

By Ned Campbell

A"er hearing of Governor Mario Cuomo’s proposed tax cap, West Genesee Superinten-dent Chris Brown started to look harder at ways to save the district money.

Cuomo proposed capping property tax at 2 percent or the in'ation rate, whichever is lower, and Brown estimates that in'ation will be at around 1 percent by February.

A 1 percent tax cap would amount to a $4.5 See Salary freeze, next page

million dollar gap in the district’s budget. !e superintendent asked union o"cials to consider freezing the salaries of all district employees, including his own. Brown said the freeze would save the district, which sta#s about 800 employ-ees, an estimated $900,000, leaving a remaining gap of $3.5 million.

“[The salary freeze is] an option we’re exploring, but it’s one of many options that we’re going to explore to close a gap like that,” Brown said.

“When I put out my note to the sta# I said I will set the tone from the top,” he added. “And of course I’ll freeze my pay, and I’m asking them to do the same.”

Brown said a salary freeze could save the district a minimum of 23 positions. He said 42 sta# reductions were made last year.

In his 11 years as a superintendent, this is the most di"cult budget year Brown has ever seen. He said the next closest was in 2002, when state aid to schools in New York State was frozen.

“But that recovered really quickly; this one’s not going to recover as quickly,” Brown said. He sees New York State’s current $scal crisis as more of a global problem than a state problem.

“!e market and things we need to generate income aren’t turning around as fast as they did before,” Brown said.

Town of Marcellus shortens !rehouse bondFans of both West Genesee and Corco-

ran banned together for Craig during the game, which was won by West Genesee 67-64.

“I’m very, very appreciative of the Corcoran fans who came out and sup-ported him as well ... that just says a lot about our community,” Brown said.

Craig was an honor roll student at West Genesee and played on the junior-varsity soccer team in the fall of 2009. Brown knew him from passing him in the halls, and from the few conversations they had in the

high school cafeteria. !at was all it took for Craig to leave a lasting impression on the superintendent.

“He was a very polite, friendly, energetic young man,” Brown said. “He was just a really, really nice kid.”

Services for Craig were held Saturday Jan. 15 at Taunton Memorial Presbyterian Church in Syracuse. A scholarship was formed in Craig’s name. Checks should be addressed to WGCSD-CWR Scholarship, 300 Sanderson Dr., Camillus, NY 13031, ATTN: Paul Pelton, or to !e Pediatric On-cology Unit at Upstate University Hospital, 750 E. Adams St., Syracuse, NY 13210.

The Marcellus Town Board approved a bond resolution for the Marcellus Firehouse at its Jan. 10 meet-ing. !e resolution shortens the remaining time on the bond from seven years to "ve — which amounts to a savings of $30,000 for the town over the "ve years.

Supervisor Dan Ross said the proceeds from the bond will be used to purchase the "re station from the village, and the transaction should be "nalized by April 1. A "ve-year bond is not subject to referendum and does not require a public hearing, Ross said.

“!e whole legal struc-ture has changed from a village "re company that contracted with the town to a "re protection district that the town manages,” Ross added.

!e Marcellus Fire De-partment separated itself from the village to seek town governance in 2005. Mayor John Curtin said the mayor at the time, Fred Eisenberg, stated that if the town was going to take over the "re department, then the building should go with it.

“In other words, the town would assume full legal and "nancial respon-sibility for it,” Curtin said. “!at required special state legislation, because techni-

cally, a town cannot own a "re house.”

Legislation was acquired in 2009. !e town has been paying for the building since the change in governance in 2005, but the title remained with the village.

“!e village received re-imbursement from the town each year for the cost of the building,” Curtin said.

Town switches healthcare plans

!e board approved to switch to a new Excellus healthcare plan for current town employees. Ross said the plan will save the town an estimated $29,000 an-nually.

“We’re always looking for ways to do things less expensively without having a tremendous impact on the bene"ts we o#er to employ-ees,” Ross said.

!e plan includes a new inpatient hospital deduct-ible and allows employees to receive cash rewards for certain healthy practices.

!e board enlisted Chris Arnold, a broker with Rea-gan Insurance Agency of Marcellus, to "nd the most cost-effective healthcare plan.

“He’s paid out of the pre-mium that we would have paid anyway,” Ross said. “!at gave us the opportu-nity to get somebody that has a lot of expertise in that area to tell us what products are out there.”

Replacement fee added!e town approved a dog

replacement tag fee, which allows the town to charge dog owners $2 to replace lost dog tags.

Local, state o"cials call for state mandate reliefBy Ned Campbell

[email protected]

In the coming weeks, the governor plans to enter into legislation a cap that would apply to all local governments, as well as school districts. Designed to protect property owners from skyrocketing prop-erty taxes, the cap prevents an increase in any local tax levy (amount raised through property taxes) above 2 percent or the rate of in$ation, whichever is less. However, with a 60 percent majority, residents have the ability to override the cap during budget elections.

While this is good news to property owners, local government o%cials "nd the solution shortsighted.

“A small village like Marcellus, already reeling from a loss of over $150,000 in sales tax revenue, would be forced to make severe cuts in its budget, restricting essential ser-vices or laying o# employees,” Curtin said.

Curtin stressed the pressures of un-funded state mandates. !e village recently installed an expensive vortex filtration system to ensure that storm water $ow-ing across Reed Street was treated before

entering Nine Mile Creek. Curtin said the NYS Department of Environmental Con-servation only ordered the village to install the unit a&er extra publicity was given to the reconstruction of Reed Street, when residents demanded the protection of a Champion Black Maple Tree.

Curtin said the bill for that projected totaled more than $31,000.

“It’s a nice sound bit that comes from politicians, but if there is a property tax cap it must include mandate relief for local governments,” Curtin said. “You just can’t impose these mandates on local govern-ments and expect them to pay for it with nothing.”

The village passed a resolution last month that protested a property tax cap, considering that “two of the largest compo-nents of every municipal budget over which local o%cials have little control — pension payments and health insurance costs — are increasing at exorbitant rates.”

!e mandate issue has not gone un-recognized at the state level. Gov. Cuomo recently formed a Mandate Relief Redesign Team charged with reviewing existing poorly funded mandates imposed by New York State.

“!e enormous burden of unfunded and underfunded mandates is breaking the backs of taxpayers, counties and munici-palities across the state,” Cuomo said in a news release.

New York State Senator David Valesky supports a property tax cap, but agrees mandate relief is needed.

“[!e tax cap] has to be accompanied by real mandate relief because many of our local governments and school districts simply cannot continue operating under the status quo,” he said during a Jan. 11 state of the area forum in Cazenovia. “!e revenue is just simply not going to be there for the State of New York, and we have to do things di#erently at all levels of government.”

NED CAMPBELLThis vortex, seen during its installation next to Reed Street in October, removes phosphate from storm water that #ows into Nine Mile Creek as required by the NYS DEC.

Revise mandates,then impose cap

Like every other taxing entity in the state, school districts need to do more with less.

Area school districts have struggled to hold the line on spending while o#ering the same or compa-rable services to students within their district. Last year, districts took a blow losing millions in state aid, as well as a decrease in sales tax revenue from Onon-daga County. !is year, administrators are facing a proposed tax cap from the governor, limiting any tax levy increase to no more than 2 percent or the rate of in$ation, whichever is less.

While this would be good news to property own-ers – we wouldn’t have to worry about being taxed out of our homes – it could mean trouble for pro-grams our school districts o#er to students. Rising pensions and health insurance costs coupled with unfunded and underfunded state mandates, none of which leave any wiggle room in expenditures, leave student programming on the chopping block.

While school districts have and should continue to do more with less, as everyone else in the state has, it’s unfair to signi"cantly limit options, speci"cally ones that do not enhance the education of our young-est residents. Before approving this drastic measure, lawmakers need to seriously consider revising and possibly eliminating some outdated mandates passed from the state to local school districts and munici-palities.

Bill Walsh raised family to be a monument to civilityI never met the Honor-

able Bill Walsh. I did see him in church from time to time a&er he moved to Highland Drive in Marcel-lus, but I think I know him, at least in one way, because I’ve met and talked with one of his sons and one of his daughters.

It was only a few years ago, before Bill’s son, Jim, decided to hang it up as a Congressman. He had graciously agreed to meet me at the Niagara Mohawk building (Yes, I know that it’s not named that any more, but it still is to me) to talk about the nominee for a testimonial dinner. I had been to his o%ce several times as a peti-tioner for one cause or another. But this time, he said that it would be easier for me if he just walked over to NiMo. We discussed the nomi-nee and then we chatted about the city, how it stretched out from the window of his o%ce in the Federal O%ce building, how beautiful it was to him. He talked about Most Holy Rosary, his friends, his time in the Peace Corps and the meaning

of service. He asked me about the Samaritan Center and how it was doing. He said one of the most compelling things that I have

ever heard from a public servant. When we were discussing the need to help the poor in the community, he said, “!is is a nation built on competition and not everyone is equipped to compete.” Wow! Yes, yes, not everyone can compete, for a lot of reasons. !at pretty well sums it up, I thought.

His sister Mary is another story. It is only quite recently that I came to know that Mary Brown’s maiden name is Walsh. Her daughter played soccer with my daughter for Marcellus, and we would o&en meet alongside muddy "elds late in the a&ernoon, each of us play-ing our own version of adult hooky to be there for our children. Both of us, dressed in business attire, would "nd ourselves with high-heeled shoes stuck in the so&

earth. One day, Mary just took her shoes o# and spent the rest of the time watching barefoot in the so& squishy earth. I really admired that. I thought, “!ere’s a woman who knows who she is.”

!ese were not newsworthy mo-ments, but rather, the moments of people who had learned to be real in the place where they lived. !eir values of compassion and family spoke from an upbringing that can be attributed to their parents, one of whom happened to be the former Mayor of Syracuse and Congress-man from our district, someone who has recently le& us.

!is family exempli"ed the quintessential meaning of civility… to use one’s resources, one’s individ-ual gi&s for the greater good. And in a world where instant grati"ca-tion is exacerbated by a media that has desensitized us to violence, that is quick to draw lines between one group and another, that has pro-moted a sense of “me "rst” above others, Bill Walsh’s family under-stands that the operative pronoun is not “me,” but “us.”

100 or so years of tradition unimpeded by progressAn old saying in the "re

service is “100 or so years of tradition unimpeded by progress.”

As a matter of politi-cal gospel — and survival — volunteer "re depart-ments across Onondaga County are almost sacrosanct, practically immutable to change. No matter the budget pressures created by the state of the modern-day economy, no matter the pressures on state and local governments to increase their cost-e#ectiveness, the "re depart-ment budgets are generally con-sidered to be untouchable by many local elected o%cials.

!e current economic landscape clearly has been shaped by the almost brutal "scal conditions in localities across Upstate New York. Presently, we are in an era of severe economic uncertainty, created by the $oundering economy, com-pressed sales tax revenues, uncertain but diminishing future state aid to municipalities, a static population, increases in the annual cost-of-liv-ing, plus the pressures involved in raising property taxes.

It is worthwhile to examine a basic question. To wit, is the present arrangement for "re"ghting in On-ondaga County, with its 57 volunteer

"re departments, vacuuming up more than a fair share of municipal budgets in its continued pursuit of new and very expensive

equipment, too o&en duplicated by neighboring departments, and new and very expensive "re stations?

Many municipal o%cials don’t feel con"dent tangling with their community’s "re departments. A way to do that, however, is to estab-lish a county-wide study to deter-mine and then to implement a more modern, more cost-e#ective system.

Frankly, with 57 "re departments across the county, it is incumbent for the county to take the lead in this issue.

!anks to modern improve-ments, it is possible to respond more quickly to "res. In the case of the village of Camillus Fire Department, it was quite time-consuming for the older "re apparatus to chug-chug-chug up the east hill out of the village. Today, with the modern, more powerful apparatus, the hill is a breeze.

One characteristic regarding "re services in the Camillus Fire Protection District is the fact it is not included in the general tax levy

of the municipality. Instead, it ap-pears as an “o#-budget” item, in an arrangement referred to as a special district. !e amount is subject to village review and "nal town board approval.

In the case of "re protection, as provided by the Camillus VFD, the basic charge to the special district residents is $521,000 for the 2011 calendar year. !is translates to a charge of $1.036 6 per thousand dol-lars of assessed valuation.

But other factors have contrib-uted to the new view, and one is a question of e%cacy. !ere’s a grow-ing discussion about whether — in a world with fewer "res and more emergency medical-related incidents and automobile accidents — "re-"ghters are deploying resources to maximum e#ect.

One of the big questions right now is whether the "re services are actually learning anything amidst the constant economic threats to their local communities.

!e pressure is really on local governments to fund smarter ways to manage their resources in the era of increasing budget pressures.

The January 2011 issue of Govern-ing magazine provided background info for this column.

Marcellus volleyball moves to fall in 2011

Marcellus girls basketball beats Skaneateles

Hourigan hurt as Eagles fall to Cazenovia

Warriors sweep thrillers with Bishop Ludden

West Genny swimmers stay perfect, beat C-NS

By Phil Blackwell [email protected]

In the opening days of 2011, the Marcel-lus girls volleyball team made it o%cial – it will move from a winter to a fall schedule.

!is decision was years in the making. Prior to 2006, all Section III girls volleyball teams played in the winter. But in the fall of that year, Class AA schools moved to the fall, giving themselves an opportunity to com-pete for the state championships held each November at Glens Falls Civic Center.

The trend continued last September when the area’s other OHSL Liberty divi-sion powers, Skaneateles and Cazenovia, moved to the fall, battling for a sectional title – which Skaneateles won. Both schools saw participation in volleyball increase, too.

As this was going on, Marcellus con-ducted a survey with all of its girls in sixth through 10th grades, asking whether a move from the winter to fall would adversely a#ect established fall programs like soccer and cross country.

When the school district found that little impact would be made by a season switch, they agreed to the move, meaning varsity and JV teams will now compete August through November – though the modi"ed team (seventh and eighth grade) maintains

a winter schedule.So this is the last go-round for Marcel-

lus volleyball in the winter – and it’s a good one so far, as the Mustangs, o# its "rst loss to the season to Homer on Jan. 7, swept Westhill 25-16, 25-8, 25-15 to improve its record to 7-1.

On the back line, Jenna Annable re-corded nine assists, while Tori Bingham amassed six assists, "ve digs, three kills and two aces. Nicole Fletcher had seven kills, with Devon Landers adding "ve kills. Sara Ryan had four kills and three aces as Allie Massara contributed three aces and Allie Vanderwerf added three assists.

Even as schedules were thrown asunder by all the winter snows, the West Genesee boys swim team has done nothing but stay on a winning track.

!e Wildcats went to the LeMoyne College pool last Friday night and earned its 25th consecutive meet victory, taking out Cicero-North Syracuse by a score of 98-81.

At the start, WG took charge with Tyler Zapisek, Matt O’Donnell, Pat Guy and Mike Mellen working together to win the 200 medley relay in a time of 1:51.61.

On his own, Zapisek claimed the 50

freestyle in 24.52 seconds, while O’Donnell needed 5:28.65 to earn "rst place in the 500 freestyle. Later, the pair worked with Col-lin Zapisek and Jake Mullet to win the 400 freestyle relay in 3:40.01.

Ben Seketa had his lone win in the 200 individual medley, tearing to a time of 1:57.34, just a&er Mullet had needed 2:00.84 to prevail in the 200 freestyle. CNS featured Billy Werksman earning 247.85 points in diving and, in a rare display of versatility, also winning the 100 backstroke in 1:03.96.

All this leads the Wildcats to a big meet Wednesday night at Liverpool that will go a long way toward deciding the CNY Coun-ties League race.

In an instant !ursday night, Molly Hourigan fell to the court, took her time getting up, went to the sidelines - and the Jordan-Elbridge girls basketball team’s championship am-bitions got thrown into question.

The large story that emerged out of the Eagles’ 52-39 loss to Cazenovia at Buckley Gym was not that J-E’s seven-game win streak came to an end, or that the Lakers stayed undefeated and moved into sole pos-session of "rst place in the

OHSL Liberty division.It was that Hourigan,

the Eagles’ imposing junior center who had made triple doubles in points, rebounds and blocks a routine matter early this season, le& the game early in the fourth quarter with a hyperextend-ed knee. Without Hourigan to worry about, Cazenovia outscored J-E 20-2 down the stretch.

Going in, it looked like the Eagles had all the ad-vantages. It was at full strength, while Cazenovia had to play without start-ing forward Ellen Burr, out with an illness.

But the Lakers were used to missing players in the lineup, having started 8-0 even though its top player, Ashley Stec (who is going to Manhattan College next year), missed five games due to an ankle injury.

J-E trailed 8-2 in the "rst quarter when it rattled o# eight straight points, four of them from Hourigan, who included a block, re-bound and steal during that stretch. But the Eagles still trailed 13-12 a&er one period, and had to play the rest of the half without senior forward Kelsey Rich-

Just a few minutes and a couple of blocks away from each other, the Westhill and Bishop Ludden basketball teams gathered on Friday night, a neighborhood show-down augmented by new and exciting plot lines.

Fittingly, both games were close – and both were won by the Warriors. !e Wes-thill boys prevailed 51-47 at Ludden with a second-half comeback propelled by

Nathan Nigolian’s hot shooting, while the Westhill girls fended o# a furious Gaelic Knights comeback to gain a 52-50 victory at home.

Given their close proximity, Westhill and Bishop Ludden were inevitable rivals - but events in the last year only added to the intensity of it.

First, there was the baseball battles of the spring, where Ludden won twice in the regular season on its way to the top of the

Intending to shake o# all the rough patches it went through early this season, the Marcellus girls basketball team earned its second straight win last Tuesday night, topping Skaneateles 49-33 at Onondaga Community College.

!at was the "rst game of a doubleheader at OCC, which also featured the Marcellus boys meeting Skaneateles – and never get-ting close in a 75-54 loss to the Lakers.

Both the Marcellus boys and Skaneateles girls ceded home games to take part in this fund-raising doubleheader at OCC.

All proceeds from this game, plus three other doubleheaders in the ensuing two weeks, would bene"t the “More !an A Game” Foundation and its charitable part-ner, the Golisano Children’s Hospital.

!e Marcellus girls were facing a Ska-neateles squad that had won three games in a row – but had just lost one of its top players,

Jackie Leslie (averaging 11 points per game) to a broken "nger.

Taking full advantage of this, the Mus-tangs seemed to make every shot in the "rst quarter, including three 3-pointers, as it bolted out to a 21-10 lead and would not trail all night.

Skaneateles would make sporadic runs and were still within 33-22 late in the third quarter before Marcellus reeled o# seven straight points late in the period, all but putting the game away.

Emily Brissette and Melissa Lee led the Mustangs with 11 points apiece, while Bethanie Abbott put up 10 points. Mary Buck led Skaneateles with 10 points as Emily Call got eight points.

Marcellus could only wish for similar success in the boys game – but Skaneateles didn’t allow that to happen.

All through the "rst three periods, the Mustangs’ o#ense stagnated, and the Lakers

ardson, who picked up three fouls.But Hourigan continued to produce inside, "nishing

with 12 "rst-half points. !at, plus timely shots from Kali Davis, helped J-E go to hal&ime with a 25-22 lead, and Davis stayed hot in the third quarter, getting seven of her 16 points.

When Davis sank another 3-pointer with 7:39 to play, the Eagles extended its lead to 37-32 - and would not get another "eld goal the rest of the night as, a minute later, Hourigan, who only had two points in the second half, fell hard to the court while scrambling for a loose ball,

then hobbled o# and did not return.Cazenovia took over, as Raeanne Clabeaux notched

10 of her game-high 22 points in the fourth quarter and Stec added 13 points.

Just before going to Cazenovia, the Eagles nearly got another triple-double from Hourigan in the course of last Tuesday’s 47-31 win over Bishop Ludden.

In a "rst-half statement, J-E’s defense limited the Gaelic Knights to single digits, heading out to a 27-8 lead, which allowed the Eagles to play on even terms in the second half and still breeze home.

Hourigan fell one point short of that triple-double, backing up her nine points with 13 rebounds and 13

blocks. Kali Davis and Kelsey Richardson each "nished with 10 points as Natalie Andrianos contributed seven points. Ludden’s top scorer, Nicole Granteed, had nine points.

J-E’s boys would lose 63-35 to Ludden, with Tom Poppe (12 points) and Leland Holmes (eight points) ac-counting for much of the o#ense. !en, in back-to-back weekend games, the Eagles fell to Cazenovia 59-46, de-spite Poppe’s 17 points, and took a 72-30 defeat to Bishop Grimes on Saturday.

With or without Hourigan, J-E is in action next week against Hannibal and Skaneateles.

state Class B rankings, only to see Westhill prevail in the Section III "nals on its way to a second consecutive state championship.

!en events in girls basketball added to the $avor, as before her senior season Ash-ley Cianfriglia transferred from Ludden to Westhill. Since both teams were already situated in the OHSL Liberty division, it insured that, when this winter, it would have even greater intensity.

!eir "rst encounter took place Friday, and for a half neither side could gain any kind of advantage. Both o#enses struggled until the second quarter, when baskets started to fall with more regularity. At the break, Westhill clung to a 24-23 lead.

Cianfriglia helped her new team seize control in the third quarter, hitting on a series of shots to push the Warriors (5-2) to a 47-37 lead. For the n ight, Cianfriglia had 24 points, converting on "ve of her trademark 3-pointers to account for most

of that total. Anna Ross, with 12 points, and Gwen Dougherty, with eight points, o#ered the main support.

Despite all this, Ludden (3-6) nearly caught up to its one-time star in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of a Westhill slump to move within a basket before its furious rally got stopped. Kayla Kibling led the Gaelic Knights with 16 points, while Natalie Barletta got 13 points. Lauren Roy (seven points) and Nicole Granteed (six points) helped out.

Down the road, Bishop Ludden’s boys were determined to maintain its hold on "rst place in the OHSL Liberty division, a place to which it returned this season a&er a nine-year absence.

Yet it caught Westhill just as the reigning state Class B champions, with its new-look lineup, were $ush with newfound con"-dence in the wake of its 65-58, come-from-behind win over Bishop Grimes earlier in the week.

In front of its raucous home crowd, the "red-up Gaelic Knights led throughout the

"rst half. Kelly Beaudoin hit on all 10 of his points in the "rst two periods, allowing Ludden to seize a 26-21 advantage going into the break.

But Westhill made up the ground in the third quarter and took its "rst lead. Ludden regained that edge, but Nigolian’s jumper just as the period ended pulled his team back even, 35-35, and foreshadowed more heroics in the fourth quarter.

Nigolian was having a great week, hav-ing held Bishop Grimes star Mike Stone to 14 points before going to Ludden. Here, he would excel on the o#ensive side, nearly getting a triple-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

And 10 of those points came in the fourth quarter, as Westhill, trailing 44-40 midway through the period, roared back again behind a Nigolian 3-pointer and a Justin Biles jumper to grab a 45-44 lead. Not done yet, Nigolian got a key rebound, then raced to the other end for another basket in the waning minutes and, to cap it o#, sank four crucial free throws.

!e help for Nigolian came from Kevin McAvoy - the winning pitcher in that sectional baseball "nal seven months ago - who "nished with 12 points as Biles got nine points. For Ludden, Corey Hunter, with 12 points, and Dan Kaigler, with 11 points, both hit double "gures with Beau-doin as Casey Ganley added six points.

Ludden, before meeting Westhill, dis-missed Jordan-Elbridge 63-35 on Wednes-day night, breaking away in the middle stages as it outscored the Eagles 34-8 in the second and third periods. Dan Kaigler had 12 points, with Corey Hunter adding 10 points. Ben Hackett got nine points as Matt Rogers and Kelly Beaudoin earned seven points apiece.

Even with the defeat, the Gaelic Knights could regain control of the league race if it beats Skaneateles Wednesday night. Ludden gave the 8-1 Lakers (coming o# a double-overtime win over Bishop Grimes) its only loss of the season Dec. 12 in the Holiday Classic at the Carrier Dome.

WG boys basketball improves to 10-0By Phil Blackwell

In the course of streaking to an 8-0 start, the West Genesee boys basketball team had rarely faced late-game pressure such as what it dealt with in last Tuesday night’s game against Corcoran.

Yet the Wildcats responded to it well, coming from behind and making all the key plays in the homestretch to beat the Cou-gars 67-64 to make it nine wins in a row.

Corcoran, who entered the game with a pedestrian 1-3 record, pushed the tempo from the start, forcing WG to adjust – which it did, though it trailed 21-17 a&er one period.

All through the next two periods, it

became an exchange, the Wildcats again turning to Eric Spencer for consistent pro-duction. !e senior center would work his way to 28 points, hitting on 12 "eld goals and four successful free throws.

Despite this, WG still was behind, 52-50, going to the fourth quarter, but it fought its way to the front behind Spencer and Corey Herrington, each of whom hit on three "eld goals.

Ahead 65-64 as time began to wind down, WG knew that Corcoran would concentrate its defense on Spencer – so he passed to Phil Allen, who drove in for the basket with 17 seconds le&. !e Cougars’ attempts to tie the game at the end fell

WG wrestlers edge SkaneatelesBy Phil Blackwell

By the smallest possible margin, the West Genesee wrestling team was saved last !ursday night as it claimed a thriller over Ska-neateles.

!e two sides actually tied 39-39, but because the Wildcats had eight victo-ries to the Lakers’ seven, it earned the tie-breaking cri-teria point and won 40-39.

Each side got a forfeit, the Wildcats giving up 96 points but awarded the 112-pound match as Nick Fetterolf got the six points. Otherwise, everything was contested.

Connor Grome had the quickest pin, at 96 pounds, taking just 33 seconds to pin Brandon Murray, while Jon Stefano (103 pounds) took just 1:28 to finish o# Bradley Ditch. At 285

pounds, Joe Clancy earned a crucial pin by beating Garrett Navaroli at the end of the "rst period.

Jon Fetterolf, at 135 pounds, had the other pin as he "nished o# Dominic Petrocci 35 seconds into the third period, and a trio of decisions helped the Wild-cats get the other points.

Ian Coolican controlled matters at 119 pounds, shutting out Tyler Saun-ders 6-0. Matt Nichols (171 pounds) fought his way past Chris Wise 7-3 and Marcus Walker, at 215 pounds, earned a 9-5 win over Conor Rourke.

Jordan-Elbridge also wrestled on !ursday, sail-ing past Onondaga 43-13 as just 11 matches were scheduled – eight won by the Eagles.

short.In support of Spencer, Herrington "nished

with 11 points and Matt Naton had seven points. Corcoran saw Delvon Adams lead the way with 21 points as Brandon Reed and Shakem Buck-mon each got 10 points.

Two nights later, the Wildcats went for 10 in a row at Rome Free Academy and, again, had to heavily lean on Spencer to produce a 54-43 victory over the Black Knights.

Sluggish at the start, WG trailed 15-10 a&er one period, but once Spencer started to establish his game in the paint, things turned around. !e Wildcats raced ahead, 25-21, by hal&ime, then kept adding to the margin in the last two periods.

Much of it was due to Spencer, who poured in 29 points o# 12 "eld goals and "ve success-ful free throws. Naton, with seven points, and

Herrington, with "ve points, o#ered the most help. Brandon Gullo led a balanced RFA attack with 10 points.

A big week awaits the Wildcats. First, it would travel to Liverpool Tuesday, a team it beat 69-47 on Dec. 27 in the Bishop Ludden Rosemary Corcoran Holiday Classic, but has since put together a "ve-game win streak thaks to the hot play of forward Ian Hamm, who is averaging more than 20 points per game this month.

!en comes WG’s most anticipated game so far – a Friday-night trip to Henninger. !e Black Knights are 7-2 and are considered, by many, the Class AA favorites. A win here would go a long way toward silencing any remaining doubts about the Wildcats’ ability to contend for a championship.

WG’s girls team played hard at Corcoran last Tuesday, but lost to the Cougars 63-51. !e Wildcats got o# to a nice start, leading 13-9 in the "rst quarter, and were still even (24-24) at

the half before Corcoran used an 18-10 third quarter to move ahead for good.

Still, the Wildcats had a "ne o#ensive e#ort, as Marie Temara poured in 21 points and Melissa Fumano contributed 12 points. Katie Kolinski (seven points) and Vicki Graveline (six points) also made solid contributions. Corcoran’s Corie-sha Hickey led her side with 20 points.

!e Wildcats also fell !ursday to Rome Free Academy 53-37, a game where it led 24-19 at the break, but fell apart in the second half as the Black Knights outscored them 34-13.

Unable to rest much, WG went to the Juggler Classic and lost a tight "rst-round game to host Utica-Notre Dame 51-45. !e Wildcats led 19-9 a&er one period, but cooled down as the Jugglers used a 16-5 third-quarter burst to move ahead.

Fumano, in defeat, produced 18 points, while Temara "nished with 13 points and Kolinski added nine points. Emily Durr, like Fumano a freshman, led UND with 19 points.

Derrick Cheney (171) and Andy Chambers (215) claimed forfeits before Mitch Alpha, at 119, rolled to a 14-1 win over Tyler Field. Trevor Pettitt (125) followed with a 42-second pin of John Lemcheck.

Later in the meet, as Mitch Cooper (140) won by forfeit, Collin Ennulat prevailed at 135 by holding o# Nathan Smart 6-2. !en the Eagles closed strong as Luke Schwarting, at 152, pinned Tim Pierce in 2:35 and Eric Gross (160) took just 1:05 to get a pin over Max Konstantinidi.
