Boys varsity basketball

Boys varsity basketball
The boys’ varsity basketball team lost both league games they played this week but they showed great improvement, thanks in a large part by the return of Sam Waterbury to the team.
Tuesday, Jan. 17, they traveled to Oriskany to take on their state-ranked team. They were competitive with this team all game long and ended up losing the game 62-45.
Calvin Risley had a big night as he led all scorers with 24 points. Most of his points came on his outside ...

The boys junior varsity basketball team played two games this past week against Rome Catholic and Oppenheim-Ephratah.
Wednesday, Jan. 3, the team played at Rome Catholic and lost in a close, low-scoring contest, 25-22. They went into the contest without their high scorer, Dane Daiker, who was moved up to help out the varsity team that was playing even more short handed. They felt that they would have won that contest with Daiker and should have won without h ...

In waters where ice fishing is permitted, anglers will be allowed to use up to three lines and five tip-ups except as noted in special regulations for specific waters. Previously, ice anglers could only use two lines with five tip-ups.

The boys varsity basketball team played two league games this past week against Remsen and New York Mills. Both games were at home. On Monday, Dec. 19, the team hosted the Remsen Rams and to the pleasure of the home fans, Old Forge was the victor by the score of 50-41.
Old Forge opened a 10-point lead after one period of play and it looked like it would be an easy victory. However, Remsen came back with a strong second period of play, and with some poor defensive ...

The girls’ varsity basketball team played only one game this past week and that was a non-league game at Little Falls last Tuesday, Dec. 13. Much like their opening game at Adirondack, they were matched up against a much larger school and much larger team. Little Falls had two girls that were much taller than our center and with a decided weight advantage. As you might expect, Little Falls had no trouble with their opponent and won the game easily.

The girls’ varsity basketball team opened their season of play with a non-league game at Adirondack last Thursday, Dec. 8.
Adirondack used their superior height advantage to easily defeat the Eskimos as they doubled the score on Old Forge. Adirondack had already had several scrimmages before this game with Old Forge having none which gave them an even greater advantage. No matter how you look at this game, Adirondack was simply too good for our team.& ...

As in most leagues, the Center State Conference honors its best athletes after the season is over and in accordance with how good their record was. The higher the finish, the more athletes will be placed on the all-star teams. Because the Town of Webb School had a winning season, good enough to tie for second place in our division, the school had six athletes named to post season honors. Three athletes made the all-star team and three athletes made the honorable mention team.
