Published by Your Community... Our Cause At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. Thatʼs why we focus our work in three areas: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. At the Norwich Family YMCA we offer state of the art facilities (with reciprocal membership to 65+ other YMCAʼs in New York State) with enhanced programming in after school childcare, pre school, swim lessons, youth & adult sports, camping, health and wellness programs, water fitness, competitive teams, kids gymnasium, specialty fitness classes, and our mission driven programs: Open Doors scholarship program, Unemployment Membership program and our Military program. We believe in our members and our community and we thank you for 152 years of community support.

Something that has shaped me as a young man today. It’s taught me how to be respectful and disciplined in something. Wrestling also teaches you how to be responsible as well. It’s your fault if you win, and yours if you lose. “I would like to thank, first off, my parents for traveling all over the country to give me the best opportunity for success. Next would be my coaches, Terry Hagenbuch and Mark Muserallo, for keeping me going. And last but not least, Frank Garcia for being the best practice partner you could ever ask for. “I’m attending Binghamton University in the summer/fall, and plan to wrestle.” Tristan Rifanburg Keith Lanfear Photo We Sell Cars, Trucks & SUVs.

Wrestling has always been my sport, and as soon as I hit the varsity level, it really stuck with me. Wrestlers put in a lot of individual work and the practices are so hard. It’s an individual sport and you have to rely on yourself. It’s a big mental challenge. “I probably won’t wrestle in college and I’m probably going to a community college around here. But I’ll put my time back into the wrestling Patrick Newell Photo program, and I plan to help out next year.” Garrett Duvall “It’s not the will to win that matters - everyone has that.

I learned responsibility, selfdiscipline, respect, the value of hard work and most important, staying positive, being patient and overcoming the unexpected. It has also given me some the greatest friendships I will ever know and will have for a lifetime. Although an individual sport, high school swimming taught me the value of team. “I would like to thank my mom, my coach and my biggest supporter for being there every step of the way, my dad for supporting both of us and my family for putting up with it all. Thanks to Coach Diefenbacher and the YMCA coaches. And last I would also like to give a huge thank you to my teammates Dan Zieno, Greg Todd Curtis Woodard, Nick Mooney and Joey Stagliano for giving me my best competition since the age of eight and Jon Manwarren for being there all though high school to push me and to all for making the sport more fun and being great friends. “I am deciding right now between swimming D2 or D3 with St. Rose or SUNY Cortland.” Killian Benedict Frank Speziale Photo $ 10 OFF YOURPROM TUXEDORENTAL Save on our entire selection of Tuxedos by Tuxedo Junction prices starting at only Save on the Entire Selection Beat the Rush First Choice of Colors and Styles $ 95 79 2014-2015 Norwich Cheerleaders Clip the Coupon Below and Submit at any McLaughlinʼs Location for an additional $10 OFF our already low prices.

Last winter, we produced a full page to recognize the Norwich varsity boys’ basketball team’s third straight Section IV championship. We looked over this year’s accomplishments, and noted that six teams, and at least that many athletes achieved at a championship- or record-breaking level. So we expanded on our dedication theme in a big way. Today’s publication is the first of its kind for this paper – full-color photos on the majority of the 20 pages – with summaries of accomplishments and new quotes from the majority of our outstanding athletes As the title of this supplement indicates, “The Best of Chenango County Winter Sports,” it is not all-inclusive. Unfortunately, teams/ athletes from G-MU, Greene, Otselic Valley, and Unadilla Valley were not featured; however, those schools may indeed dominate this section in future years. The compilation of these pages was not a selection process in which we - as a newspaper - decided whom we should feature. The athletes and teams selected themselves based on their accomplishments during the 2014-2015 winter sports season. There was no intent to slight the hundreds and hundreds of boys and girls along with their respective teams who are not appearing in today’s issue. The “Best of” is just our way of giving a big pat on the back to those who achieved at a championship level. If we missed an athlete or team, we want to hear about it. This is a first-time venture that we intend to build on in future years. Of course, there are always a few kinks in the roll-out process, and we welcome feedback from our readers. Please enjoy this keepsake edition as we continue our effort to provide the best Chenango County sports coverage.

Submitted Photo Standing left to right are Norwich team members Dylan Gladstone, Brian Thompson, Brendon Budd, Corey Huggins, Matt Gladstone, Matt Craig, and Alec Weaver. “I always loved bowling because it was such an individual sport, so when I started bowling again in the seventh grade on the school team, it took some getting used to. Sometimes you bowl your best game, and your teammates bowl their worst - or vice versa. But thanks to my family, Family Recreation Lanes, Sammy Ventura - the local pro bowler - and my coach, Mr. Rigas, we were able to do very well at sectional championships this year making school records. I have no plans for college yet, although I would love to pursue collegiate bowling and maybe even PBA pro bowling in the future.” Corey Huggins Congratulations to all Chenango County Student Athletes on your successes this season, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
