Basketball Is Here!

Hey,better late than never right? The high school basketball season is alive and shooting. So lets take a look around.

We've already had the game of the year and we are only a little over a week into the season. Whitesboro and Notre Dame played a classic double overtime session with the Warriors pulling it out on the home court. Can't wait to see part two. The cream of the crop in the Tri Valley appears to be Notre Dame, Whitesboro, VVS and Oneida.

In the CSC, Mohawk will once again be fun to watch with LeClair and Traglia. Adirondack will improve each week with Scott Dunlap and Dolgeville will be right in it with Clay Ardoin. West Canada is back with Sudderly this season, they are dominating once again with a tenacious defense. Hamilton should be fun to watch, they have some good athletes like Matt Broedel and Derrick Cenicola. If I've left anyone out, feel free to add them to the list.

Proctor may be young, but you can bet they will be good. Norm Stamboly will have his boys ready.

As for the ladies, make sure at some point you check out young Brianna Kiesel at Proctor, she's a special player. RFA is improved this season.

In the Tri Valley, Whitesboro should be very good with Betsy Gadziala leading the way. Camden is solid too as they will be led by Ashley Roser and Ashley Schmidt. Perenial powerhouse New Hartford is young but came up big already this season with a win over Camden. Look out for Clinton, they have experience with Lauren Conway and great coaching as well.

In the CSC, its anyones game. Ilion has gotten off to a nice start as has Adirondack. Mohawk's program appears to be back as well. While Waterville is young, Larry Stockwell always has his team in the thick of things. For the first time in five years, Andrea Dziekan is without Sam Szkotak. They will find their way. Again, if I'm missing somebody, give me your thoughts.

Enjoy the games
