Niagara University’s women’s soccer team will gain a valuable addition Thursday, when Kenmore resident Bre Catipovic signs her national letter of intent to become a Purple Eagle.....more>>
For one quarter at least, Cardinal O’Hara’s quickness on defense neutralized Sacred Heart’s tremendous size advantage. The next three quarters, though, were a major departure from that as the visiting Sharks chomped down on the Hawks for a 65-29 win to improve to 15-3 overall.
Daz Knight hit a runner in the lane at the buzzer to give Cardinal O’Hara a 64-62 nonleague win at Holland, which boasted a 10-4 overall record coming into the game to the Hawks’ 2-16 mark.
The big boys from Niagara-Wheatfield came through in a big way Saturday. Niagara-Wheatfield swept the four heaviest weight classes and added another champion at 125 at the Section VI Class AAAA Championships hosted by Kenmore West.
A typically hot Niagara-Wheatfield power play unit was as cold as the 20-degree temperature outside the Amherst Recreational Center Saturday, and it cost the Falcons plenty in a 3-1 loss to Williamsville North in a matchup of state-ranked Federation hockey clubs.
We’ve got three rematches slated for early this week that will determine league champions, seeding come sectionals and perhaps give us a good indication as to who might be the cream of the crop in their respective classes come March.
Tim Drylewski says his team performs better when they’re pumped up and full of energy. After the Niagara Falls senior rolled a perfect 300 in game one at Saturday’s Roy Sommer Tournament at Thruway Lanes, the Wolverines were that and more.
Rodney Pierce had 16 points to lead four Bulls in double figures as the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team edged Toledo on the road Saturday, 65-59, for their first-ever win at Savagae Hall.
No matter the circumstances, when you play against a Jim Badgley-coached team you tend to feel it. Niagara Falls can attest to that. The perennially-powerful Wolverines needed a late push to fend off Badgley’s pesky Kenmore West crew, 59-50, in Niagara Frontier League action at the Wolvarena on Friday.
Lockport didn’t shoot like the top-ranked girls basketball team in Western New York Friday night. It did, however, rebound and defend like the No. 1 team, and it helped the Lady Lions remain undefeated in the Niagara Frontier League with a 41-26 victory at third-place Kenmore East.
The effort was there but, unfortunately, the victories weren’t. The Tonawanda Warriors and Lady Warriors gave it all they had but at the end of the night both wound up on the losing end in a special varsity basketball double header Friday night that featured the induction ceremony for the Tonawanda High School Athletic Wall of Fame Class of 2010.
Aaron Davis’ 20 points and Lucas Pichette’s 14 helped the Lumberjacks score a 69-50 win over Lewiston-Porter. The win gave NT its 10th Niagara Frontier League victory this season. It’s NT’s first 10-win league campaign since 1999.
Seniors Dawn Carter, Trista Davis and Sam Marcaccio have been on the THS girls bowling team together through a dominating four-year run that culminated this week with a fourth-straight ECIC Division III title
Girls ice hockey at the scholastic level is still relatively new in New York state, but the push is on now to provide girls in this area the same opportunity that has existed for boys for two decades, and it’s gaining more momentum than a Cammi Granato wrist shot.
Friday will be a big night for nine Tonawanda High School graduates as they’ll be inducted onto the school’s Athletics Wall of Fame. The 2010 class of inductees includes Brian Carey ‘88, Al Henningham ‘52, Cindy Holway ‘79, Mike Kramer ‘84, Darcy Runfola ‘87, Charlie Smilinich ‘97, Ryan Smith ‘02, Dan Sommer ‘89 and Cheri White ‘02.
Andrew Granchelli had only seven points in Tuesday night’s boys basketball showdown at North Tonawanda. He made the last five count, big time, in the Lions' 54-50 NFL win, their second this season over the Lumberjacks.
Joelle Pollak set a record, but she’s happier that her team got the win. Finally, it’s over. No more talk about breaking records. It’s just about the game.
North Tonawanda’s Brianna Larson rolled games of 258, 258 and 257 for a 773 series on Tuesday, the highest set in Western New York among girls this season and the second-highest in NFL history.
Basketball is what lights up Jessica Jolley. A sophomore on the Kenmore West Lady Blue Devils basketball team, Jolley is in the position of being a three-year varsity veteran while still being one of the youngest girls on the team.
The streak continues for the Tonawanda girls bowling team. Erin McDonald rolled a 224-620 and Trista Davis had a 236-611 as Tonawanda won its fourth consecutive ECIC III title with a 5-2 win over Maryvale Monday at Airport Lanes. The victory extends the Warriors’ ECIC III win streak to 38 matches.
When St. Joe’s began the task of replacing a coaching legend who amassed 169 wins and 13 Monsignor Martin Athletic Association championships during his tenure, it seemed sensible to select a candidate who had been closely affiliated with nearly every single one of those victories.
Jaclyn Konieczka, who had scored in double digits just once in her four-year career, put up 15 in the first half and finished with a game-high 21 points as the Purple Eagles shocked Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference-leading Marist with a thrilling 69-59 decision for what’s clearly the biggest win of coach Kendra Faustin’s tenure.
Demetrius Williamson helped dig the Purple Eagles out of a skid on Sunday, finishing with 20 points and eight rebounds as Niagara ran out to an early lead and held on to beat Loyola, 86-77.
It’s a scene you see before the tip of every high school basketball game. The officials come to the scorer’s table and exchange pleasantries with those seated.
DE KALB, Ill. — Rodney Pierce led five Buffalo players in double figures with 17 points in a 95-83 Mid-American Conference men’s basketball victory over Northern Illinois on Saturday.
Senior Mary Cain finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds, 12 steals and 10 blocks to help Niagara Catholic to a 43-41 overtime win over visiting Christian Central Academy in non-league girls basketball action Saturday.
