FA Football Seeks Repeat Success In 2012 

By JOHN GOKEY 

MALONE – The Franklin Academy varsity football 

team enters the 2012 fall season as the defending Section 

10, Class A champions. Unfortunately for the 

Malone squad, they won’t get a chance to defend that 

title. 

The Malone pigskin program will now look to become 

the Section 10 champion, and state representative, 

in Class B. 

The varsity Huskies finished the 2011 campaign 

with a 9-2 mark, falling to Section 7’s Saranac Central 

during the regular season, then dropping a state 

playoff game to Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake, which left 

a sour taste in the collective mouths of the returning 

Green & White players. 

The road to the sectional crown and, hopefully for 

Malone, state play, begins with the reigning Section 

10 offensive Most Valuable Player in quarterback 

Mitchell Gallagher, who is a year older and stronger. 

The Malone QB led the Northern Football Conference 

(the combined Section 7 & 10 football league) in rushing 

yards while leading the Huskies in rushing, passing, 

and defensively in tackles. 

With the demise of the NFC League, all Section 10 

teams will return to the Northern Athletic Conference, 

where traditional rivals Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, 

Canton, Gouverneur, St. Lawrence Central, and 

Tupper Lake will all vie for the conference crown. 

The huge offensive numbers that Gallagher posted 

a year ago may not come quite as easily this season, as 

the Malone team enters the 2012 fall campaign with 

an entirely new front – both offensively and defensively, 

as the Huskies graduated their entire starting lines. 

Gone are starters Austin Kerr, Mike Sharrow, Korey 

Prue, Doug Marshall, Curtis Beaudry, Brandon Picaro, 

and Matt “Big White” Cooley. 

The Huskies do return plenty of players with varsity 

game experience, along with the front line from the 

undefeated junior varsity team and a number of seniors 

that saw plenty of playing time in 2011. All of the 

current varsity members have taken part in the Malone 

JV team’s current 37-game winning streak. 

“Our front line will be the key for us offensively and 

defensively,” stated Malone Head Coach Greg Marshall. 

“It’s a new group of players and they will need to 

learn how to play as a unit very quickly.” 

Stepping in potential starting roles on the offensive 

line will be senior Cody Prue, who at 250 lbs., will snap 

the ball to the quarterback, and on special teams, 

while the starting guards should be seniors Duncan 

Marshall and Kelsey Head. Both linemen have the size 

to open holes and maintain a pocket for the quarterback. 

Slated for the offensive tackle spots are senior Matt 

Ellison and junior Tehatakenta Boots (a.k.a. T-Boots), 

with senior Charles Debyah and juniors Stephen Watkins, 

Ben Otis, Tanner Godin and Joe Gokey set to step 

in when called upon. 

Although Gallagher received most of the headlines 

a year ago, he is not the only offensive weapon for 

Malone. Speedy wideouts Harvey Smith and John Picaro 

(FA’s back-up QB along with former JV signal-caller 

Jacob Henning) combine with Nate Monette and JP 

King to give the QB plenty of throwing options. Senior 

Cody Collins has the capability to step into a wideout 

spot while juniors Jordan Yando, Dustin Wert, and 

Abe Gravell are working hard to break into the starting 

lineup. 

On the ground, Tyrek Sneed, Cameron Guerin and 

Shawn Mulverhill will take plenty of handoffs as JV 

standout Jake Perry is battling to earn a starting job. 

Picaro and Smith could also line up in the backfield as 

could junior Devin Noreault. 

On the defensive side of the ball, Head, Ellison and 

Boots make up three-quarters of the front line, with 

hard-hitting Robert Shaw, big Stephen Watkins and 

ends Danny Sanchez and Loghan Harris, who both are 

well over six feet in height, are stepping into the mix 

for a starting role. 

Gallagher and Perry are slated for the outside linebacker 

spots with Guerin, Mulverhill and Cody Boyea, 

who had several key tackles a year ago, rotating on 

the inside. Also in the mix for a starting spot is junior 

Tucker Bartenslager, who is over six feet tall and better 

than 200 pounds with a jolting finish to his tackles. 

The defensive backfield for Malone should have 

Monette, King and Picaro rotating on the corners with 

the speedy Smith at safety. All can rotate positions 

and cover just as much ground as any receiver in the 

league. 

The Huskies are scheduled to open up the 2012 season 

on the road, traveling to Canton for the Northern 

Athletic Conference opener at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, 

then will have their home opener in week 2, as Malone 

will entertain the St. Lawrence Central Larries in a 

1:30 p.m. kick-off.

OFA Soccer Teams Look To Contend In Central 

By DAVE SHEA 

OGDENSBURG - Leadership by committee 

is a concept which OFA Girls Soccer 

Coach Lauren Morley feels her team 

will use to craft a successful season which 

opens tonight under the lights of the Alton 

W. Elliott Complex. 

OFA will host Heuvelton, Lisbon and 

Norwood-Norfolk in its annual Blue Devil 

Invitational which serve as the kickoff for 

Blue Devil athletics in the 2012 school year. 

Next weekend, Sept. 7-8, the reigning NAC 

Central Champion Blue Devil Boys Soccer 

team will open its season by hosting the 

Gerald Cring Memorial Tournament. 

GIRLS SOCCER OPENING 

“I think our major strength will be leadership 

in all areas of the field and I think 

that with good communication we will 

have an excellent mix,” said coach Morley 

who is currently shaping her team from 

a cast which includes 12 seniors, four juniors, 

three sophomores and two freshmen. 

“We have excellent athletes, players 

with great speed, we have people who can 

contribute with all out hustle, we have 

proven veterans and we have a nice corps 

of young people who I am really excited to 

watch develop.” 

The Devils will compete in a restructured 

NAC Central Division which includes 

traditional rivals Malone, Massena, 

Canton, Potsdam, Gouverneur and first 

year entry in Salmon River which in past 

years has consistently competed for Section 

10 Class B honors out of the East Division. 

Returnees from last year feature returning 

regulars in 21-point scorer Shannon 

Tooley(Sr. Forward), Stacy Barr (Sr. 

Sweeper), Mary Burns (Sr. Forward/Halfback), 

Zendell Cordwell (Sr. Defense), Nicole 

Duprey (Sr. Forward/Halfback), Jocelyn 

Fifield (Sr. Halfback), Nikki Holmes (Sr. 

Halfback), Kaitlin Piercey (Sr. Defender), 

Kaitlin Sheppard (Sr. Forward), Taylor 

Smithers (Sr. Defender) and Brooke Badlam 

(Jr. Defender). 

Defender Courtney Sherwin (Soph) 

and forward/halfback Alicia Shaver 

(Soph) both played well after moving up 

to the varsity for the later stages of the regular 

season and the sectional tournament 

and another sophomore Kristen Snyder 

will assume the number goaltender position 

backed by a first year senior in Erica 

Chase who showed excellent toughness 

as a lacrosse netminder. 

Juniors moving from the JV level are: 

Nicole Hammond (Halfback) and Kayla 

Tolman (Defender) and Mackenzie Bresett 

(Defender). Senior Brittany O’Grady 

is another first-year defender. 

Two freshmen halfbacks in Natalie Giglio 

and Danielle Guimond are looking to 

follow up a strong summer playing for the 

NNY Youth Soccer League Champion FC 

Freeze team. 

OFA BOYS DEFEND TITLE 

Six returning starters from an NAC Central 

Division Championship team and Section 

10 Class B semi-finalist (lost to Potsdam 

in overtime) will anchor the OFA Boys 

Soccer team which looks to receive consistent 

contributions from all four classes 

over the course of the fall campaign. 

“We have a solid core returning. How we 

fare will depend on whether or not we can 

mesh the new players with the returning 

guys,” said OFA Coach Matt Morley who is 

currently working with a 24-person squad. 

“We definitely have good talent, several 

players who can play more than one position 

and a lot of combinations to look at.” 

Put your aches and pains on our shoulders. Our orthopedic 

specialists and physical therapists bring dedication and 

expertise in treating your acute injuries such as fractures, 

ligament sprains, and tendon tears. Our team will 

recommend the most effective and least invasive 

treatment methods to get you back in the game. Whether 

you’re an athlete with a severe injury, or sidelined due to 

pain, you can depend on our orthopedic team to work 

toward one goal: returning you to an active lifestyle. 

Visit us at cphospital.org 

Anchoring those combinations will 

be three senior captains in defender Alec 

Manke, midfielder Pat Cosmo and forward 

Gian Rufa who emerged as the team’s leading 

scorer last season. Sophomores in defender 

David Prudhomme and midfielders 

Matt Piercey and Nate Peo all enjoyed 

stellar rookie seasons and appear wellequipped 

to become pace-setters. 

Seniors looking to expand their contributions 

from last year are: Justin Feldt (Midfield/Forward), 

Jordan Fifield (Midfield/ 

Defense) Andrew Guimond (Midfield/ 

Forward), Garrett Calton (Defender), Andrew 

Colburn (Defense/Midfield), Matt 

Snodgrass (Midfield) and Chris Axtell (Midfield/Defense) 

and senior Brandon Mullin 

and junior Rudy Binion look to contribute 

as first-year varsity performers. The junior 

class affords Coach Morley with similar 

versatility with Martin Arquitt (Midfield), 

Connor Hannan (Midfield/Forward), Pat 

LaComb (Defense), Mike Mallott (Midfield/ 

Defense), Aaron Peo (Defense), Jed McRoberts 

(Midfield/Defense) and Donovan 

Smith (Midfield/Defense). 

The team’s lone sophomore will fill a vital 

position as Jacob Sias has smoothly taken 

over the starting goaltender’s position. 

Peyton Lalone, coming off a strong summer, 

has earned a place in the front line 

corps as a freshman.

NAC Realigns Into Four Divisions For 2012 

By DAVE SHEA 

For the second time in two years, the Northern Athletic Conference will institute 

a realigment for the sports that are fielded by the great majority of its 

members: boys and girls soccer and basketball, baseball and softball. 

This time Section 10 Athletic Coordinator Carl Normandin believes that the 

NAC has it right. 

In the format used for the 2011-2012 school year, the NAC went from three 

divisions (Central, West, East) to a four-division look (Central, East, West, 

North). 

In the four division setup, Edwards-Knox moved from the West Division into 

the East and the North was formed by moving Canton and Norwood-Norfolk 

from the Central and Salmon River, St. Lawrence Central and Brushton-Moira 

from the East. 

For the 2012-13 school year, the NAC will return to three divisions with the 

Central, West and East. 

Edwards-Knox will restore the traditional eight-team Class D NAC West, and 

Canton returns to the Central, which will now house all of the Class A-B schools 

with the addition of Salmon River, which will play in the Central for the first 

time. “We are really glad to be back in the Central,” said Canton Athletic Director 

Bill Porter. “We never wanted to move.” 

Norwood-Norfolk will compete in the new-look NAC East in a division that 

now features Class C schools in Norwood-Norfolk, Brushton-Moira, Tupper 

Lake and St. Lawrence Central and Class D schools in Madrid-Waddington, 

Chateaugay, Parishville-Hopkinton, Colton-Pierrepont and St. Regis Falls. 

In girls soccer, boys and girls basketball and softball, the nine East schools 

will be subdivided for scheduling purposes into the North with Brushton- 

Moira, Norwood-Norfolk, SLC, Madrid-Waddington and Tupper Lake and the 

East with Chateaugay, Colton-Pierrepont, Parishville-Hopkinton and St. Regis 

Falls. 

The East will feature eight teams in baseball because Colton-Pierrepont 

plays lacrosse in the spring and eight teams in boys soccer because Tupper 

Lake plays football in the fall. 

“I really believe that this year’s alignment will work long-term as long as 

we don’t lose programs because of budgeting problems. It utilizes geography, 

school size and programs offered by schools,” Normandin said. 

“We now have all the Class A and B schools together in the Central, the East 

has a mix of Class C and D schools and the Class D West is back together,” Normandin 

added. “Salmon River disagreed with the move to the Central and we 

understand their position, but it is time for the largest schools of the section to 

be in one division.” 

Edwards-Knox Athletic Director Lori Brewer said that the school, the coaches 

and communities were all “delighted” to have the Cougars returning to the 

West. 

“Playing in the East was excellent competition but we have great rivalries in 

the West,” she said. “Our kids missed playing against the kids they have played 

against all their lives. They especially missed playing against Hermon-DeKalb 

in league play because the schools are so close.” 

The following alignments will be used based on the number of schools participating 

in soccer, basketball, baseball and softball: 

GIRLS SOCCER, B/G BASKETBALL, SOFTBALL 

West Division: Clifton-Fine, Edwards-Knox, Hammond, Harrisville, Hermon-DeKalb, 

Heuvelton, Lisbon, Morristown. 

Central Division: Canton, Gouverneur, Malone, Massena, Ogdensburg, 

Potsdam, Salmon River. 

North Division: Brushton-Moira, Norwood-Norfolk, St. Lawrence Central, 

Madrid-Waddington, Tupper Lake. 

East Division: Chateaugay, Colton-Pierrepont, Parishville-Hopkinton, St. 

Regis Falls. 

BASEBALL 





East Division: Brushton-Moira, Norwood-Norfolk, St. Lawrence Central, 

Madrid-Waddington, Tupper Lake, Chateaugay, Parishville-Hopkinton and 

St. Regis Falls. 

BOYS SOCCER 





East Division: Brushton-Moira, Norwood-Norfolk, St. Lawrence Central, 

Madrid-Waddington, Chateaugay, Colton-Pierrepont, Parishville-Hopkinton 

and St. Regis Falls.

Veteran Line Anchors Massena Football Hopes 

By ALAIN St. PIERRE 

MASSENA - The more things have 

changed, the less Massena Central football 

coach Anthony Diagostino hopes 

they remain the same heading into the 

2012 NAC season. 

“Every year is different in high school 

football. It’s just the nature of the sport. 

You always have seniors who graduate 

and leave the program and you always 

have younger kids maturing and looking 

to make the step up to varsity,” noted 

Diagostino, who begins his fifth year at 

the Raider football helm with a roster 

2012 Sandstoners Poised 

For NAC Gridiron Success 

By JOHN TURCOTTE 

POTSDAM – After a year’s absence, Friday night lights return to the Potsdam campus 

for the 2012 season. 

An electric usage problem forced the Sandstoner football team to play home games 

on Saturday afternoons last fall, but all systems are go this year for night football for a 

Potsdam team that could very well light it up offensively for 10th-year head coach Jim 

Kirka. 

“We’re usually a team that relies on one main running back, but we have a lot of guys 

who can carry the ball this year,” Kirka said. “Will Coleman is healthy again, good to 

go and will start at quarterback. Last year’s other quarterback, Shawn Clark, is looking 

very good at wide receiver. And our offensive line could be as good as we’ve had here. 

They’re big, strong and hungry.” 

Potsdam’s 2011 season ended in a Class A championship game loss at Malone as the 

Sandstoners finished 6-4 overall on the season. Kirka looks forward to a possible return 

to state tournament play as in 2009 and 2010. 

“I’m excited about this team. A lot of guys worked hard in the weight room this summer,” 

Kirka said. “I’m usually not optimistic, but I am this year. We have more team 

speed than we’ve ever had. But we have to stay healthy and live up to our potential.” 

Coleman, a junior, suffered a severe leg injury late last football season, and the 

brother of several outstanding former Sandstoner athletes went on to miss both the 

basketball and baseball seasons. But he’s now been cleared to compete and will be a 

key component of the always-strong Potsdam running game, which also features senior 

veteran tailbacks Aaron Lewis, Stephen Lewis and Garrett Kilgore. It also includes 

running back and return threat Oden Robertson, who started at St. Lawrence Central 

last season as a sophomore but has transferred to Potsdam. Andrew Ace and Ryan Mc- 

Faddin, up from the JV, give the Sandstoners two strong fullbacks. 

Clark, a 6-foot-7 junior, provides a nice target for Coleman at wide receiver, while at 

tight end, All-NAC player Josh Adams will be replaced by senior veteran Jacob Woods 

and Dylan Greer, up from the JV. 

David Adams, a transfer from Virginia, is very versatile and will see time at backup 

quarterback, receiver and on defense. 

Potsdam’s outstanding veteran offensive line includes seniors Kyle Martin, Aaron 

Deon and Preston Mason along with junior Matt Cincinnati. Seniors Ian Drummatter 

and Aaron Chandler are also top linemen and several Potsdam linemen will see action 

on both sides of the ball. 

Other returning players include seniors Kyle Weems (WR/DB), Joe Boysk (DL) and 

Corey Brown (DB) along with juniors Jacob Bryant (WR) and Dan Devine (WR). 

Potsdam, with a 33-man roster, has merger agreements with both Norwood-Norfolk 

and Madrid-Waddington and will thus compete again in Class A for the postseason.

that features only nine players from 

last year’s team which won three of four 

games over the final four weeks to close 

at 4-5. 

“This is a totally different team. We 

don’t focus too much on last year but we 

use that 4-5 record to put a little fire underneath 

us,” he added. “Our numbers 

are up a bit and we have a good group 

of kids that work hard in practice. We’re 

excited about the season. We’ll see what 

happens.” 

The Raiders will be looking to build a 

contender for NAC and Section 10 Class 

A honors around a solid nucleus of offensive 

lineman led by third-year senior 

tackle Jordan Hart. Also returning on the 

line are seniors Sam Sprague and Kioweren 

Rourke along with junior Josh Blair 

and senior tight end Justin Bestor. Firstyear 

players looking to earn game time 

on the line include seniors Ben Light 

and Nick White along with juniors Sam 

Gerbert, Cody Hooper, Montana Jacobs, 

Scott Laneuville and Alex Romeo. Junior 

Ross Davis is second on the Raider depth 

chart at tight end. 

“At this point, our offensive line is definitely 

our strength,” said Diagostino. 

Expected to anchor the Raider running 

game is the veteran trio of seniors 

Jordy Mitchell and Isaiah Perry and junior 

Connor Paquin. Newcomers hoping 

to make an impact at runningback 

include juniors Asa Kershner, Gage 

Landon, Jeremy Malone, and JP Reagan 

and the lone sophomore on the varsity 

roster, Josh Manley. 

“We’ve got some good depth at runningback,” 

Diagostino noted. “We have 

a lot of confidence in the kids that are 

coming back and we’re expecting good 

things from the younger guys.” 

Senior Tyler Simms is the lone returnee 

in a young but capable corps of split 

ends that includes juniors Zachary Babcock, 

Andrew Harvey, Kyle Nicholson, 

Billy Orlando, Noah Serabian and Xavier 

Viskovich. 

The Raiders will also be counting on a 

new signal-caller this fall as juniors Josh 

Belisle and Rory Corcoran, who played 

a handful of games at the varsity level as 

a freshman due to a rash of injuries that 

depleted the varsity ranks, look to compete 

for the starting job. 

The Raiders will open the season at 

Tupper Lake tonight. They make their 

home debut the following Friday night 

against OFA. 

Regardless of what happens over the 

course of the regular season, the Raiders 

have an automatic berth to a playoff final 

in late October against Potsdam Central, 

the only other Class A team in Section 10 

this fall.

OFA Swimmers, Harriers, Vball Poise For Outstanding Seasons 

OGDENSBURG - The OFA Girls Swimming, 

Cross Country and Girls Volleyball 

teams will all be led by all-star caliber players 

and are poised to contribute to a very 

successful fall season by Blue Devil squads. 

GIRLS SWIMMING SOLID 

The Lady Devils’ number a modest 16 but 

according to OFA Girls Swimming Coach 

Ben Fleahman the talent level on his squad 

is anything but ordinary. 

“We don’t have a big team in terms of 

numbers but we have plenty of talent. I 

think the scoring that we lost from our graduated 

seniors will be made up by our junior 

class. Our juniors are really coming into 

their own,” said Coach Fleahman who looks 

for sophomore Susie Morrow, who won a 

Section 10 Championship in the backstroke 

last fall, to provide leadership as one of the 

elite swimmers in the section. 

“Susie (Morrow) swam in the offseason 

and is looking forward to a great year. She 

just missed the school record in the backstroke 

and I would assume she would get 

that very soon.” 

Morrow and the rest of the Devils are 

looking to improve their speed and techniques 

through a training program which 

Coach Fleahman has adapted from friends 

in Western New York who also coach swimming. 

“Its a tough program but the girls have 

accepted the challenge and I know it will 

produce,” said Fleahman who guided the 

Devils to a 7-4 record and a third place finish 

in the sectionals last season. 

The OFA squad features three seniors 

with outstanding work ethics in Maddie 

Ward (50-100 Fs), Mackenzie Comeau(100-200 

Fs) and Abby Williams (100 

Butterfly). 

Five juniors looking to join the seniors 

in leadership roles are: Natalie Perrigo 

(100 Breaststroke, 200IM), Hunter Shaver 

(100 Breaststroke/50 Fs), Jillian Hogle (100 

Breast-stroke/50 Fs), Sammy Hall (100 

Breaststroke/FS) and Cynthia Buscemi 

(Distance FS). 

Morrow is joined in the sophomore class 

by freestyle sprint specialist Julia Mullin 

and another freestyler in Elizabeth Sovie. 

Making the move from the modified to 

the varsity ranks as freshmen are: Claire Dufore 

(Distance Fs), Madi Bresett (Butterfly/ 

Individual Medley), Megan Mills (Freestyle) 

and Chelsie Montroy (Freestyles). 

CROSS COUNTRY OPPORTUNISTIC 

The OFA Cross Country squads will host 

their home meets at the Ogdensburg Bridge 

and Port Authority grounds for the first time 

since veteran head coach Chris McRoberts 

ran for the Blue and White. 

Coach McRoberts looks for the season to 

be a memorable one for the both the boys 

and girls as they compete against programs 

like Malone, Canton and Norwood-Norfolk 

which have been state-ranked in their respective 

classes for many years. 

The OFA Boys will feature their biggest 

teams in many years with a 16-person 

squad led by seniors Alex Wood, Andrew 

Cole, Spencer Lawrence and Tyler Knowlton. 

Wood is firmly established among the 

area’s best three-season distance runners 

and collegiate prospect but missed the 

states last season because of illness. Cole, 

Lawrence and Knowlton all ran at states and 

the foursome looks to form the anchor for a 

very strong unit. 

“Alex Wood ran very well in summer races 

and Andrew Cole, Spencer Lawrence and 

Tyler Knowlton all look strong.” said Coach 

McRoberts who looks for junior Kurstyn 

Macauley, sophomore Danielle Steenkamer 

and freshman Ellen Miller to provide the 

five-person Lady Devils with outstanding 

leadership. 

“Kurstyn (Macauley) and Danielle 

(Steenkamer) are both coming off excellent 

years and Ellen Miller has run some great 

road races this summer. 

Two other freshmen in Sara Mitchell 

and Markie Willard will round out the Lady 

Devils five-runner unit while competition 

abounds for the Devil Boys’ top seven. 

Heuvelton student Russ Jaquith, another 

senior in Josh Gordon and juniors Seth 

Montpelier, Seth Tebo and Vinnie Molinari 

have all logged a great deal of meet experience. 

Freshman Nick Vielhauer moves to 

the varsity after establishing himself as the 

school’s best modified distance runner last 

season. 

Other first year varsity runners are: Alex 

Cole (Jr), Sebastian Quintillani (Jr), Garrett 

Dennis (Fr), Hayden LaRock (Fr) and Jacob 

Scaggs (Jr). 

VBALL TEAM DEFENDS WEST 

Under new scheduling format Northern 

Conference Girls Volleyball matches will be 

played Monday through Friday. 

OFA Coach Mclean feels that she has a 

team which is ready to compete hard everyday 

of the week to repeat as NAC West 

Champions (shared title with Potsdam last 

season) and then challenge for the NAC 

Class C crown. 

“We have great hitters and servers and 

unselfish players with a desire to do what is 

best for the team,” said Coach Mclean. 

“There is no fear factor in this group 

when it comes to attaining two skills. This is 

a very positive group and our key for success 

is to maintain communication to become 

consistent with our passing so we can increase 

our quality sets. We will focus on our 

goals daily by overcoming our weaknesses 

and building upon our strengths. 

Leading the team in quest of its goals are 

twin sisters and three-year varsity players in 

NAC West MVP Felicia and a first team All- 

NAC West selection Brittaney Barr. Felicia 

(Barr) led Section 10 in kills last season and 

ranked among the best hitters and blockers. 

Brittaney (Barr) led the West Division in 

aces, ranked among the best servers in the 

section and delivered big hits all season. 

The duo will look to anchor the leadership 

on the Devils squad which must replace 

a fine cast of graduated seniors led by 

first team All-NAC West middle hitter Sarah 

Weir. 

Returning players looking to figure 

prominently in the development of the 2012 

squad are: senior captain Katrina Couperus 

who excels as a passer from the libero position 

and as a tempo setter for team chemistry, 

senior captain Olivia Bender who 

worked extremely hard to take over the setting 

duties, hard-serving senior Jade Casey 

who will play opposite hitter and secondary 

setter, junior Taylor Fisher who shows a 

strong serve and developing blocking ability 

at middle hitter, sophomore Sky Hoover

OFA Football Looks To 

Overcome Low Numbers 

By DAVE SHEA 

OGDENSBURG — When the Ogdensburg Free Academy coaching staff watches 

their players go through preseason drills, they see a cast of 23 featuring physical, 

proven, competent and versatile athletes. 

And according to their coaches, they are the type of players that will allow the Blue 

Devils to be successful in the new-look Northern Athletic Conference which is actually 

a throwback to the Northern League. After being merged for many years, Section 

10’s NAC and Section 7 elected to go their separate ways for the regular season. 

While looking to earn one of the four playoff berths for the overall NAC Playoff 

championship, the Devils, who finished at 4-4 last season, will also be looking to 

become the Section 10 Class C state representative on the basis of regular season 

record. Canton and St. Lawrence Central are the other Class C schools. 

“We have low numbers this year but it has happened before,” said OFA coach Matt 

Tessmer. “I remember in Ron Johnson’s last season as head coach, we had about 22 

players. But those players took it as a challenge and had a very good year.” 

“We have a good group of players here and they could do the same thing. We have 

to do a great job at the little things, control the things that we can control and avoid 

injuries.” 

Leading the Devils into the season will be four senior captains in quarterbacklinebacker 

Alex Farrell, fullback-linebacker Zach Sharpe, center-defensive end John 

Morrison, and two-way tackle Jake Garrison, as well as senior quarterback Nate Angel, 

who emerged as one of the area’s most productive playmakers in 2011. 

As a junior, Angel led the NAC schools with 849 passing yards and 14 touchdowns 

and ranked fifth in rushing with 643 yards. 

Angel, who played much of last season with a cast on his hand, will greatly expand 

his defensive role this season in a veteran linebacking crew. That group includes Farrell, 

Sharpe, fellow senior Joe Giglio, juniors Jordan McCormick and Ryan Denny, 

coming off a very strong season at Canton last fall. The team’s lone sophomore is 

Nolan Rufa, who will also see action in the defensive and offensive lines. 

Anchored by co-captains Morrison and Garrison the line corps looms as a team 

strength. The corps features three other seniors in Dave Troiano, Christian Simmons 

and D.J. Swan and juniors Kevin Goolden, Zach Barr, Jacob King and Keegan Clark. 

OFA opens September 1 at Gouverneur. 

Canton Football Eyes Improvement 

By JOHN TURCOTTE 

CANTON — Spirit is high but numbers are low as the Canton fooball team looks to 

bounce back from an 0-9 season in 2011. 

“We’re down in numbers with about 23, a few guys decided not to come out, but we’re 

keeping it pretty positive,” said fourth-year head coach Austin Weakfall. “We have some 

good football players, but not a lot of depth.” 

One of those good players is fourth-year starter Jay Proulx who will step in at quarterback 

while also seeing time at running back and receiver when quick sophomore 

scatback, Hunter Yeardon, runs the offense. Many Golden Bears, including Proulx, will 

be starting on both sides of the ball. 

“Jay is a football player. He knows, he understands football and he’d like to play on the 

next level after high school,” Weakfall said. 

Sophomore power-runner Peyton Vanbibber should be the Bears’ feature back this 

year, replacing the graduated Eb Foote in that capacity. 

The Bears moved the ball very well in a season-ending loss to Section 7 power Saranac 

Lake last season and plan to continue changes in their offensive scheme implemented 

against the Red Storm. 

Other Canton veterans include seniors Cody Peters (WR), Jonathan Pinckney (DL), 

Ricky Martin (RB) and Nathan Miller (FB/DL), along with juniors TJ Lumbard (OL/DL), 

Zach Markel (OL/DL), Ryan Denny (RB), Pat Thompson (OL/DL) and Dathon Thurber 

(WR/DB). 

“TJ is a tough-nosed kid for us, we’re looking for big things from Ricky Martin. Nathan 

Miller has really improved with his work this summer, and we’ll use Cody Peters a lot in the 

passing game,” Weakfall said.

NAC Girls Soccer Teams Look To Replenish Offenses 

Northern Athletic Conference Girls Soccer teams will be looking to replace 

many of last year’s top goal-scorers preparing for the 2012 fall campaigns. 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

Salmon River: A contender in the Class B race every season under coach 

Kathy Valancius, first year coach Liz Durfee enters the regular season as a 

Central Divison school. 

“Facing many teams we will see in the sectionals will only help us.” said 

Durfee who believes her team’s strength will be the midfield graduating 

several outstanding scorers in Karyss Terrance (14 goals, six assists), Karlie 

Cree (8-7), and Anna Kelly (7-3). Abby Kelly returns after scoring 10 goals 

last season. Other returnees include: Taylor Francis, Jaiden Mitchell, Taryn 

King, Sam Ghostlaw, Emily Trombley, Dee McDonald, Kaienhwinehtha 

Ransom, Carleen Soucia, and Tewasherake Barnes. 

Newcomers include: Kwio King, Kwas Laffin, Jocelyn Martin, Kelby Mitchell, 

Keri Shenendehowa, Melanie Taylor, Vanna Thomas and Becca Leroux. 

Massena: Coach Ryan Hayes believes his team has experience with nine 

returners and strength and conditioning will be the teams asset. 

“The strength of our team will be our defending, conditioning, and ball 

control. We are an experienced team. . We are looking to possess the ball 

and control the field of play,” said Hayes who must replace: Taylor Romeo 

(1st Team NAC, 13 goals), Morgan Albert (1st Team NAC - 12 goals), and Kallie 

Barnes (2nd Team NAC). 

NAC Central League MVP Dominique Valancius scored 14 goals last 

season and she will be joined by fellow returnees Erin Francis (Sr-Def.),

Heuvelton: Heuvelton Coach Gus Burns calls his team “A work in progress” 

after finishing 14-4 overall 11-1 in a tight race with Hermon-DeKalb 

for NAC West honors in 2011. 

“Our strength is also our weakness,” said Burns. “We are young with only 

two seniors after graduating Sanna Jaquith, Kelli Hebert, Aliza Armstrong, 

and Offensive MVP Emilee Ross. But we have some very good talent returning.”

Lisbon: Scott Richardson begins his third season looking to build on a 

10-8 season despite losing four senior starters including Alison Akins, Sarah

“We’re still very young with seven freshman. I really expect our leadership 

to come from Gabby Walker who has played five years. We might struggle 

early but we hope to be very competitive at the end of the season.” said 

Richardson. 

Sophomore Alex Amo (7 goals, 3 assists) and junior Beth Crowley (7 goals, 

7 assists) shared the Knights’ goal-scoring lead last season. Emily Dishaw 

was also a talented player last season with five goals while Madison Vine

NAC Football Adopts New Playoff Format For 2012 

Northern Athletic Conference football 

will crown an overall playoff champion in 

2012. 

The postseason format was adopted 

this past summer in a 6-2 vote by the athletic 

directors of the football schools. The 

postseason format was adopted following 

the decision by Section 10 and Section 7 

to end their interlocking regular season 

schedule. 

The four teams in the NAC with the best 

overall record will play in NAC semifinals 

on week eight with the week eight winners 

advancing into the NAC championship 

game on week nine. A lower tier playoff 

will also be held involving the fifth, sixth, 

seventh and eighth seeded teams. 

The NAC will feature a seven-game regular 

season in 2012 where the Section 10 

Class B, Class C and Class D state tournament 

representatives will be decided by 

best overall records. 

Gouverneur, Malone and St. Lawrence 

Central are the Class B candidates, Canton 

and OFA are the only Class C schools, 

and Tupper Lake will be the Class D represenntative 

for regional play. The state representatives 

in Class B, C and D will play the 

Section 7 representatives on the 10th week 

of the season. 

Since there are no Class A schools in Section 

7, Potsdam and Massena will play off 

for the Section 10 Class A berth on the 10th 

week if the two teams do not meet in the 

NAC playoffs. The Section 10 Class A representative 

will meet the Section 2 state representative 

on the 11th week of the season.

Boost In Numbers, Experience Lift SLC Football Expectations 

By ALAIN St. PIERRE 

BRASHER FALLS - Having more 

choices has raised expectations for 

the St. Lawrence Central football team 

heading into the 2012 NAC season. 

“We have strong numbers again this 

year and most of the kids that were juniors 

last year are coming back as seniors. 

We’re also seeing a lot of potential 

in the new kids and we’re already 

seeing a lot more competition to earn 

starting spots,” said third-year coach 

Gouverneur Football Rebuilding 

GOUVERNEUR - Despite going 1-8 last season, Gouverneur coach Sean Devlin 

thought his team made strides. 

“We had a tough year but we improved. This season, we must replace our starting 

quarterback from last year in Shane Gould and all but one from our offensive 

line. We definitely have been working hard with our line,” said Devlin whose 

team scrimmaged General Brown on Saturday in an early test before hosting Ogdensburg 

Free Academy on Saturday afternoon in its season opener. 

“I thought we moved the ball well offensively on the ground and through the 

air but defensively we just didn’t stop a very talented General Brown team whose 

team looks like one of the better teams. I felt good about the progress we did 

make and we had a few players out too. We’re looking one game at a time. And 

Ogdensburg, one of our biggest rivals, is first. It’s been 11 or so years since we’ve 

got a win against OFA,” Devlin noted. 

Taking over the signal calling for 2011 Don Petty Memorial Award winner 

Gould is Mark Horne. 

Also not returning are Lucas Bulsiewicsz, Kyle Bigwarfe, Dustin Earlywine, Nathan 

Guesford, Ben Mulvaney, Mike Roll, Ricky Sides, Jacob VanOrnum, Brendan 

Ward and Aaron Wing. 

Horne, a senior , will make the move from running back to quarterback, finished 

with 411 yards on 71 carries and five touchdowns in 2011’s regular season. 

Horne also caught 17 balls for 188 yards and will play as a defensive back. 

“Mark is a very athletic and is a tough kid. We have a lot of expectations for 

Mark this season. Despite our offensive line being young we have some experienced 

players in the backfield,” Devlin noted. 

Senior Tanner Spillman (RB/DE) had 40 carries for 175 yards last season and 

senior Levi Love (RB/LB) was the second with 156 yards and two touchdowns on 

just two catches., 

Horne and Spillman, along with senior Hunter Ayen (FB-LB), are expected to 

lead the defensive unit. “We’re young at defense too but they’re working hard,” 

Devlin noted. 

Returning from last year’s team are: Kacy Barley (Jr. WR/DB), Justin Cummings 

(Sr. LB/FB), Curtis Fuller (Sr. FB/LB), Troy Gates (Soph. TE/LB), Daniel Neuroth 

(Sr. OL/DL), Brandon Washburn (Sr. OL/DL), and Cody Woods (Sr. WR/DB). 

Newcomers include: Cody Ashley (Jr. TE/DL), Kevin Burns (Jr. OL/DL), Dustin 

Bullock (Jr. OL/DL), Edward Cushman (Sr. OL/DE), Jose Flores (Soph. RB/DB), 

Ryan Hight (Jr. TE DE), Dustin Hutton (Jr. OL/DL), Spencer Knowles (Jr. OL/DL), 

Kevin Manning (Jr. WR/DB), Aaron McEathron (Soph. OL/DL), Adrian McShane 

(Soph. RB/DB), Brandon Ramos (Jr. WR/DE), and Mason Wing (Jr. OL/DL). 

“We haven’t played Malone in a while but we heard that they’re very good 

again this season. It’s going to be a battle every week.” added Devlin. 

Bill Scharf as the Larries look to improve 

on the 1-7 mark they posted last 

fall. 

“We really have multiple options at 

every position which is something we 

haven’t had in a while,” he added. “We 

know we’re in a tough league but the 

kids are really working hard and with 

the added experience, we should be 

able to compete.” 

Senior Devon Euto, who handled 

the majority of the snaps at quarterback 

last season, is slated to return at 

the helm of a revamped Larries’ offense 

that boasts a stable of nine runningbacks. 

Senior Dakota Vallance 

is expected to be the top ball carrier 

while classmates Jessi Greer, Corey 

LaBarge, Tyler Smith and John Butler 

should get their share of hand-offs 

along with second-year junior Devon 

Agen. Senior Kyle Montroy is slated to 

split time between tight end and fullback. 

First-year players looking to earn 

playing time out of the SLC backfield 

include sophomores Caleb Gomes and 

Tyler Losey while juniors Mike Burns 

and Brad Francis are the team’s backup 

quarterbacks. 

“We have quite a few guys that can 

run the ball and we’re looking to take 

advantage of that,” noted Scharf. 

The Larries also return to a solid 

core of linemen that includes seniors 

Chuckie Hartson, Brandon Lashomb, 

Troy Ramsdell and Sean Roshia along 

with juniors Gavin Chase, Hunter 

Ramsdell and Kris Tabor, who missed 

most of last year after suffering an 

early-season injury. Newcomers showing 

strong potential at the line positions 

include junior Tyler Huckle, 

Kyle Lashomb and Mike Ziser as well 

as sophomores John Cherniak, Josh 

Goodreau, Chris Gray, Nathan Johnson, 

Jon Rubado-Lavare, Thane Ramsdell 

and Joel Truax. 

Expected to split time at tight end 

are returning seniors Cole Laflesh and 

Todd Ramsdell and veteran juniors 

David Plante and Tayler Richard. 

“We want to start as many kids as 

possible so that the same ones aren’t 

out on the field the whole time,” noted 

Scharf. 

The Larries, who competed in Class 

A for the post-season in previous seasons 

due to merger agreements with 

several neighboring school districts 

that don’t offer football, have only retained 

their affiliation with Parishville- 

Hopkinton this fall and will be in the 

Class C playoffs along with Canton and 

OFA. 

They make their 2012 NAC debut 

on Saturday, September 1, at home 

against Potsdam Central starting at 

1:30 p.m.
