Here is the Holbrook Heating & Air Conditioning Top 10 for the week of April 20…..
- Among the large schools in boys lacrosse, Liverpool was a focal point, first by handing C-NS its first defeat of the season 13-10, then returning home and dropping a 10-9 thriller to West Genesee, who has now won six in a row. F-M was undefeated, too, before falling to Baldwinsville by that same 10-9 margin as the Bees recovered from a 12-7 defeat to West Genesee earlier in the week..
- Even though April is not complete, just two unbeaten teams remain in area boys lacrosse – New Hartford, who has jumped out 8-0, and Jamesville-DeWitt, who puts its 7-0 record on the line Saturday in a tough test at Canandaigua. Marcellus continues to mow down Class D foes chased by Skaneateles, who handed Homer its first defeat of the season in a 14-4 romp earlier this week…
- Cicero-North Syracuse continues to set a torrid pace in area girls lacrosse, romping past Liverpool 20-7 after doing the same to South Jefferson and West Genesee the week before and testing itself in two games in the Washington, D.C. area this weekend. And Syracuse is still unbeaten, carrying a 6-0 record into the game against CBA where Dennis Kennedy coaches against his own daughter..
- The first girls lacrosse state rankings of the season had C-NS no. 2 in Class A and West Genesee no. 2 in Class B. Fulton led the Class C local pack, no. 13 in the state rankings as the Red Dragons rallied from 13-9 down to knock off Liverpool 14-13 earlier this week. Westhill is no. 3, South Jefferson no. 4 and Skaneateles no. 6 as Section III teams make up half the top six in state Class D…
- With rain an issue most of the week, area baseball teams again strained for game action. Unbeatens Liverpool and C-NS met and the Warriors won 4-2 on its way to Myrtle Beach next week, while a big Class A showdown saw Westhill, with one-hit pitching from Mike Madigan, hand Cortland its first defeat of the season 2-0. Bishop Ludden remained unbeaten as Joe Dunham threw his third career no-hitter.
- Area softball teams were also somewhat sidelined for much of the week due to the rain. Some will travel south, like Chittenango, the reigning sectional Class B champions whose only games this week were a doubleheader sweep of Homer where it scored 39 total runs. South Jefferson is 5-0 so far and just got head coach Steve Randall his 300th victory at the Spartans’ helm….
- Now we are starting to have large-scale track and field meets. There was the Tully Coed Invitational last weekend where Clinton’s boys and Cazenovia’s girls were triumphant, along with meets at Port Byron and Fulton late this week. Even bigger is the Cook-DeSfteano Invitational at Rome and the Onondaga Invitational on Friday and spring-break meets at Tully and Westhill early next week…
- Now we’re seeing a wave of area high school girls golf. In the SCAC, F-M Green has earned a pair of opening-week victories and F-M White has done the same, while ESM won the first large-scale SCAC Empire division match. Everyone in the OHSL is likely to chase CBA, who was undefeated a season ago and is already winning matches this spring, too…
- In flag football, everyone is now chasing Baldwinsville, who early this week shut out Liverpool 26-0, the Bees’ second shutout as it went for five in a row against Oneida Friday night. In boys tennis, Manlius Pebble Hill is off to an outstanding start, the Trojans winning its first four matches to equal Cazenovia as Chittenango and CBA are also sporting undefeated marks…
- A big, historic coaching hire was made when Central Square tapped Beth Bonin to coach varsity boys basketball. It’s the first time a woman is coaching a boys varsity Section III team, but Bonin arrives here with plenty of experience, assisting with the boys team at her alma mater, C-NS, for three years before spending this season coaching at Dryden…
