Stephen Curry named Hickok Belt® Award winner for November

Stephen Curry, point guard for the Na-tional Basketball Association’s Golden State Warriors, has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of November 2015. A select panel of members of the National Sportscast-ers and Sportswriters Association (NSSA) conducted the voting.

The voters selected Curry based on his outstanding performance throughout the month - a stretch during which the War-riors went 16-0. During that span, Curry averaged 30.1 points and 5.8 assists per game while shooting .495 from the floor and .438 from three-point range.

Other finalists for the month of No-vember in order of how the NSSA vot-ers ranked them included: Kyle Busch (auto racing), Tyson Fury (boxing),

Patrick Kane (hockey), Christian Colon (baseball), Adrian Peterson (football), Philip Rivers (football), James Harden (basketball), Ben Bishop (hockey) and Mikaela Shiffrin (skiing).

Carry’s selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of Novem-ber recognizes him as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month and makes him the ninth candidate eli-gible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2015, joining Tom Brady, James Harden, Jordan Spieth, Bryce Harper, LeBron James, Carli Lloyd, Jake Arrieta and Daniel Murphy.

Graupman trey gives Cadets a winby Warren Kozireski

Hilton managed only eight points in the fourth quarter, but senior Cameron Graupman hit a three-pointer from the top of the key with 1:10 remaining to put the Cadets ahead for good in a tight 61-59 girls’ basketball victory over visiting Irondequoit.

The Cadet led by as many as ten points and never trailed in the high scoring first quarter and took a 23-16 advantage after one. Irondequoit fought back to tie the game twice in the second quarter before a Meaghan McGwin put-back gave Hilton a 34-32 halftime lead.

Irondequoit grabbed a pair of one-point leads early in the third, but a pair of field goals from Graupman and a scoop shot and drive from Raine Gard-ner, in just her second game back from an injury, as part of a 8-0 run helped the Cadets regain the lead.

The Eagles again took a pair of one-point leads early in the final quarter, but sophomore forward Alyssa Juer-gens hit a jumper to make it 57-56

Cadets. Irondequoit fought back with another basket to again lead by one before Graupman hit her trey for a 60-58 lead.

An Eagle was fouled on a three-point attempt, but made only one of the three free throws to cut the Cadets lead to one, but Strauss hauled down a key defensive rebound with three seconds remaining and Graupman made a free throw with 1.8 seconds left to seal the win.

“They played and we didn’t and they took advantage,” a disappointed Hilton head coach Jeff Eichas said. “We only had four team rebounds with three minutes left in the first half, which showed our lack of effort. We scored, but we didn’t defend.”

Graupman, headed to the College of Saint Rose in Albany next fall, led the Cadets with 22 points. Strauss had 17 points with five rebounds, Chloe Graupman scored seven points, Juergens added six points with four re-bounds and Gardner had four rebounds plus four of the team’s 12 steals.

Brockport and Eastadvance to Westcott Finalby Warren Kozireski

Junior forward Antonio Alvarez scored 24 of his game-high 27 points in the second half to bring his Blue Devils back from a nine-point halftime deficit for a 66-50 win over Spencerport and an op-portunity to defend their title in the 17th annual Doug Westcott boys’ basketball tournament. East defeated Churchville-Chili in the other semi-final 77-55.

Westcott was the Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics at Brockport for 21 years.

The first quarter of the Brockport-Spencerport game featured six lead changes before the Rangers took control in the second as senior Charlie Huff scored eight points to stake his team to a 29-22 halftime lead.

But the Blue Devils battled back to score 14 of the last 22 points in the third to take the lead on a Cory Gross lay-up.

Spencerport senior David DeBellis hit a three-pointer to open the fourth quarter and put the Rangers back in front, but the lead was short-lived.

Alvarez and Gross combined to score 21 points down the stretch and the Brock-port defense held the Rangers to just two more lay-ups to seal the win.

In addition to Alvarez’s 27 points, Jakeb Mitchell, Gross and Raphael Odey

each added nine for the Blue Devils, who were 15-21 at the free throw line. Justin Johnson was Spencerport’s top scorer with 14 points with Huff finishing with eight and John Feeney adding seven.

In the Churchville-Chili vs East contest, the Saints had their offense in high-gear during a 26 point second quarter with balanced scoring. Dillon Strine scored five points during the period, Malek Williams hit a pair of three-pointers and Eric Lewis five free throws and pair of field goals to give them a 40-31 halftime lead.

The Saints advanced the lead to 12 points as Williams hit a trey to open the second half, but East High went on a 13-0 run to take a one-point lead. The teams traded one point leads with C-C getting baskets from Lewis and Williams, but it was virtually all East High after that as they outscored the Saints 30-6 the rest of the way.

Williams and Lewis led the Saints with 22 points each with Williams adding six rebounds. DeBellis tied for the team lead with six boards while Strine finished with seven points.

Brockport won the last two Westcott Tourney titles and have five overall. Spencerport has won three times (2007, 2010, 2011) while Churchville-Chili took home the first place trophy four times (2000, 2001, 2006, 2009).

NEW!Ten tips to stick with New Year’s weight loss resolutions

(StatePoint) Millions of Americans will make the resolution this New Year to lose weight. But goal setting is the easy part. Staying on the weight loss track and maintaining that weight loss is where the challenges begin.

Here are 10 tips to help anyone stick with their weight loss resolutions this New Year and beyond.

• Drink up: Hunger and thirst can often be confused, so stay hydrated. But remember, beverages are not a place to splurge on a ton of calories. Drink water. For a flavor boost, add fresh fruit slices or mint leaves.

• Snack mindfully: It is all too easy to derail an otherwise flawless diet by binging at snack time. Be mindful of snacks, and make sure they offer nutritional value and are designed to keep the stomach satisfied until the next meal.

• Sleep: Studies show a link between sleep deprivation and excess pounds. While there are many theories as to why this is, at the very least, getting enough sleep will promote clear-headed, healthful choices throughout the day.

• Jumpstart weight loss: Studies show that early weight loss is a predic-tor of long-term success. Look for dif-ferent programs to keep motivated.

• Eat small: Research suggests that eating smaller, balanced meals throughout the day promotes greater

weight loss and maintenance. Schedule meals every two to three hours, six times a day.

• Get moving: Exercise doesn’t have to be daunting! Get started with 10-minute sessions, three times a day. Movement sets the metabolism in mo-tion so make sure it’s a consistent part of weight loss efforts.

• Eat out, right: Restaurant portions can be monstrous. Set aside half the meal and save it for later. Avoid key menu terms like “breaded,” “fried,” “crispy,” and “smothered.” At buffets, fill the first plate up entirely with greens before moving on to other op-tions.

• Embrace setbacks: Sometimes di-ets get temporarily thrown off course by a missed workout or a second slice of birthday cake. Rather than throwing in the towel entirely, view the setback for what it really is, a temporary hiccup.

• Be accountable: Keep a food and exercise diary to reinforce good habits. Log food, drinks, activity, weight and more to stay accountable.

• Seek support: Weight loss and maintenance is no cakewalk. Turn to weight loss counselors, dietitians and online communities for support with any weight loss journey.

With the right attitude and the right tools, anyone can make 2016 the year to finally lose the weight for good.

Exercise doesn’t have to be daunting! Get started with 10-minute sessions, three times a day.
