Wide Open Race For Girls Volleyball Honors 

The 2011 Northern Athletic 

Conference volleyball field features 

defending sectional 

champion in Class B Malone, 

Class C Potsdam and Class D 

Chateaugay which all 

advanced to state tournament 

play in 2011. 

OFA 

Implementing a new system 

while replacing a two-time All- 

Northern Conference setter is a 

formidable challenge for any girls 

volleyball team. A challenge which 

OFA has accepted with a spirited 

determination according to Coach 

Sue McLean. 

OFA will be looking to replace 

three All-NAC performers in setter 

Charrette Spooner and hitters 

Kirstie Fredericks and Emily 

McLellan. 

“Everyone is working hard and 

is very focused on learning a new 

system,” said Coach McLean who 

lost seven players from last year’s 

squad which finished in a threeway 

tie for the NAC West Division 

title at 8-2, but does return seven 

veterans. 

OFA looks to senior captains in 

libero April Mashaw, middle hitter 

Sarah Weir and setter/opposite 

hitter Brittany Redmond to provide 

outstanding leadership. 

“April is controlling the defensive 

effort while Brittany has taken 

on the role of lead setter while 

helping to develop two junior setters. 

Sarah is our leading middle 

hitter and has improved her hitting 

ability as well as leaping ability 

over last year, so I look to her to 

pick up more kills and blocks,” 

said Coach McLean. 

Second year juniors Felicia and 

Brittany Barr are also showing the 

athleticism and smooth skills to 

step into lead roles. Felicia Barr 

returns to a starting outside hitter 

spot with the total package to 

become one of the NAC’s premier 

attackers. Brittany Barr will start 

opposite of her sister and bring a 

strong, accurate serve into the 

lead spot in the rotation. Also 

returning are senior middle hitters 

Rachel Fisher, a key blocker in the 

defense, and Marissa Young, a 

valuable situational server. 

Moving up to the varsity from a 

championship junior varsity team 

are three juniors in setter/opposite 

hitters Jade Casey and Olivia 

Bender and a very athletic hitter in 

Katrina Couperus. 

SALMON RIVER 

Five seniors are being called 

upon to display their experience 

and leadership to a Salmon River 

varsity volleyball team that finished 

the 2010 campaign with a 

14-4 overall record, 7-3 in the 

league. 

“This year, I will be looking for 

leadership coming from my 

seniors,” stated Shamrocks 

coach Nicole Deshaies. 

“They have played together 

now for three or more years. If 

they communicate and focus on 

the court, they will be strong,” 

Deshaies continued. 

The seniors the SRC coach is 

counting upon are Leslee Loran, 

Kiesha Cook, Brittany Grenon, 

Emma Phillips and Kara Marshall. 

Couple that with returning 

juniors Kasennakohe David and 

Nicole Smoke and the Shamrocks 

look to be a formidable foe 

for any NAC squad. 

The aforementioned players 

will be replacing second team 

All-Northern Alicia Francis along 

with Krissy Tremblay, both of 

whom graduated in the spring of 

2011. 

“I am looking for the team to 

be consistent,” added Deshaies. 

“I am also looking for our team to 

build a strong defense.” 

Also on the 2011 squad are 

juniors Cassandra Boardway, 

Jackie Benedict and Kaitlyn Pickering 

along with sophomore 

Erica Martin. 

POTSDAM 

Coach Julia Pahler has lost 

several top seniors but welcomes 

15 players after a strong season 

in 2011 which included a sectional 

championship and trip to 

the state tournament. 

Team members include juniors 

Amy Arno, Hailey Bonno, Taylor 

Bonno, Jessica Buckley, Jessica 

Burns, Bridget Parks, Elizabeth 

Smith, BreAnna Stephenson, 

Olivia Stitzer and Kelsey Travis; 

sophomores Savannah Bondellio, 

Katie Burke, Clarissa Mitchell 

and Victoria Mondragon; and 

freshman Sarah Vivlamore. 

MADRID-WADDINGTON 

After a NAC West Division 

Regular Season Volleyball 

Championship, Madrid-Waddington 

will be rebuilding this season 

under coach Troy Creurer. 

The Jackets lost Kristin King, 

Ashley Beldock, Kayla Vallance, 

Kristin Miller, Megan Parmeter, 

Jessica Reed, Olivia Blackmore, 

Shauna Vallance, Kayla Vallance, 

Dee Ibey, and Marina Zeledon 

to graduation. 

“We are returning one senior 

from last year's varsity team, 

Ashleigh Bracy. She will be 

counted on to be our captain and 

floor leader, during what I consider 

to be a developmental year 

for the program,” said Creurer 

who takes over the program from 

Laurinda Stockwell. 

“We have three juniors in 

Schiler Ashley, Logan Barkley 

and Drew Harris, none of whom 

have played before this year. So I 

expect the learning curve to be 

steep for those players. 

Up from the JV level and 

expected to see lots of court time 

according to Creurer are Hannah 

Austin (Hitter Libero), Britanni 

Dawley (Hitter-Setter), and 

Janelle Trombley (Hitter-Libero). 

Freshman Jennifer King (Hitter- 

Setter), Dia Richards (Hitter) and 

Sophia Roome (Hitter) round out 

the team. 

“The long term success of the 

program will rest with these 

young players. I am looking forward 

to a season that sees a dramatic 

improvement from our first 

day to our last and success will 

not be measured in wins and 

losses,” said Creurer. 

CANTON 

Coach Carla Wentworth 

opened the new season with several 

different faces in the lineup. 

“It’s definitely a rebuilding year. 

We lost a lot of key seniors. There 

are a lot of shoes to fill,” said 

Wentworth. 

Returning with experience are 

hitter Gabby Hopkins-Betters, 

middle-hitter Michelle Barkley 

and setter Tara Facey. The rest of 

the roster includes first-year players 

and those up from coach Rob 

Brown’s JV team which had a 

strong season in 2010.

(39 points, 19 aces, and 54 kills) 

and Alison Poupore (90 points, 

34 aces, and 30 kills) are the

“We lost Amanda Gadway, the 

League MVP and Patti Baldwin 

Award winner, Ashley Gadway 

and Stephanie Stone both First 

Team All NAC’s and Chelsea 

Metcalf and Stephanie Haas - 

both Second Team All NAC’s. 

Rachel Lamica, a tenth grader 

who was moved up at the end of 

last season, is very talented and 

has a lot of potential,” said 

Thomas. 

“I feel will be strong, but it may 

take a couple weeks before we 

can get the kinks worked out. 

Coach Thomas roster includes: 

Anna Dievendorf, Chelsea Donais, 

Erin Scott, Kristyn Reynolds,

Malone Gridmen Look To Improve On Last Year 

By JOHN GOKEY 

MALONE – The Franklin 

Academy varsity football team 

seeks to improve upon its 2010 

regular-season record of 4-3, 5-4 

overall, for the 2011 campaign. 

Tough to do with the loss of 

key position players such as 

quarterback (Jordan Cosgrove), 

running back (Darren Fullum, 

Brad Doe and Jason Stepnoski) 

and linemen (Andrew Poupore, 

Sam Moore, Brandon Lavoie 

and Cody Gibson). 

The Malone team will witness 

junior Mitchell Gallagher 

take the reigns of the gridiron 

group, calling the offensive 

plays at quarterback, while also 

directing the defense from the 

middle linebacker position. Gallagher 

spent the 2010 season 

with the varsity as a sophomore, 

gaining needed experience 

for this season and next. 

Gallagher completed 19 passes 

By DAVE SHEA 

OGDENSBURG - There are 

rebuilding projects and there is 

the wholesale reconstruction 

which was ongoing as the OFA 

Football team recently completed 

its second week of preseason 

practice. 

Head Coach Matt Tessmer 

and assistants Charlie 

McCormick, Tony Williams and 

Brett Monnat were engineering 

plans to replace the leadership 

provided by one of the most 

successful senior classes in 

school history. A senior class 

which led the 2010 Blue Devils 

to 10 straight wins and regular 

season and postseason Class B 

honors 

Six of the graduated seniors 

combined on a 27-5 record and 

four of those seniors: running 

back Eric Barr (19), quarterback 

Jared Morrow (13), slotback 

Joel King (11) and Kris 

Folsom (9) combined to score 51 

touchdowns last fall. 

“We have to replace almost 

all of our skill people and the 

strength of this year’s team will 

be in the line,” said Tessmer. 

“Our line play should be very 

good and we have a lot of very 

good athletes who are working 

very hard. We are looking at a 

lot of people at different positions 

and this is a very good 

group.” 

Junior Nate Angel is getting 

a very long look as the leading 

candidate to follow Morrow 

who put up astounding total 

for 263 yards with three touchdowns. 

Junior John Picaro is 

expected to be the back-up 

quarterback, but will see more 

action as a wideout. Picaro will 

compete with senior Ryan 

Jacques (1 rec-26-yards, TD) 

and juniors Cody Collins, J.P. 

King, Dylan Fleury, James 

Shattick and the speedy Harvey 

Smith for the wideout spots. 

Stepping into the backfield will 

be returning players Taylor Hilyard 

(71 carries- 325 yards, 2 

TD’s), Daryn Johnston (9-9), 

Zach Peck (17-161, TD) and 

Korey Prue (12-55, TD) as varsity 

newcomers Shawn Mulverhill 

and Tryek Sneed attempt to 

break into the starting lineup. 

Replacing the four graduated 

linemen shouldn’t be all that 

difficult for the FA coaching 

staff of Greg Marshall, Cory 

West and Brian Doe, as the 

offensive numbers as a threeyear 

starting quarterback. Morrow, 

who has moved on to 

Hartwick University, threw for 

19 touchdowns and ran for 13 

scores as a senior. 

“Nate Angel is throwing the 

ball well and has worked very 

hard,” said Tessmer who looks 

for co-captain Christian Lesperance, 

a senior running back 

and record-setting sprinter in 

track-and-field, to lead the 

emergence of a new group of 

playmakers in the offense. 

The team’s other captains 

are two-way linemen Brad 

Seguin and Dave Dalton and 

split end-linebacker Zach Grenier. 

Other seniors counted 

upon to fill the leadership roles 

are: Nick Steenkamer (RB/DB), 

Andrew LeBeau (OL/DL), Marv 

Petell (SE/DB) and Nick Crawford 

(SE/DB). Second year 

juniors coming off fine rookie 

campaigns are: Zach Sharpe 

(RB/LB), Christian Simmons 

Huskies return a solid core of 

bulk up front. Returning for 

their senior season will Austin 

Kerr, Curtis Beaudry, Matt Cooley, 

Brandon Picaro, Mike Sharrow 

and Doug Marshall. 

Kesley Head, Cody Prue, 

Robert Shaw and Duncan Marshall 

will attempt to break into 

the starting lineup and have 

been working as a unit with the 

returning linemen to solidify 

the offensive line. 

Ends that will help in the 

offensive scheme will be the 

Dunleavy brothers, Austin (6- 

76) and Jon, as well as Devin 

Fleury and Jason Twigg. 

Defense seemed to be a problem 

for the Huskies in 2010, as 

they surrendered 164 points 

during the season. In the games 

that the FA team lost, they gave 

up 50 points to Saranac Lake, 

40 points to OFA and 24 points 

to Potsdam, during the regular 

OFA Football Faces Rebuilding Season 

TOUCHLESS CAR WASH 

(OL/DL) and Jake Garrison 

(OL/LB). Another junior in 

Dave Troiano (OL/DL) who 

missed all of last season undergoing 

successful treatments for 

Hodgins Lymphoma and he 

will be a major addition. A very 

versatile second-year sophomore 

in Josh Liebstein will see 

action at split end and defensive 

back while developing his 

quarterback skills. 

A junior class with excellent 

credentials includes: another 

three-position player in Alex 

Farrell (QB, SE, LB), Konnor 

Murdock (SE/DB), Paul Mallette 

(SE/DB), Nick Perrigo 

(RB/DB), Hunter Planty 

(RB/LB), John Morrison

and Nate Sarkin (OL/DL). 

Promising sophomores moving 

up from the JV level are: Dylan

(OL/DL). 

season, and 22 points to the 

Sandstoners in the Class A 

playoff game. 

Setting the tone up front on 

the defensive side of the ball 

will be returning players Doug 

Marshall, Dalton Patterson, 

Brandon Picaro, Korey Prue 

and Kellan Wheeler. Newcomers 

Alex Charland, Matt Ellison, 

Kelsey Head, Danny 

Sanchez and Steve Watkins are 

working hard to earn a starting 

spot. Joining Gallagher in the 

battle for a linebacker spot are 

Kerr, Hilyard, Johnston, 

Charles Debyah, Dylan Fleury, 

Cameron Guerin, Mulverhill, 

Shaw and Sneed. 

The defensive backfield will 

miss the quickness of Cosgrove, 

but the FA coaching staff looks 

to Smith to step into his spot. 

Also looking to gain a starting 

role in the defensive backfield 

are Jacques and Peck, as well 

as King, Shattick, Nate Monette, 

Cody Boyea and Cody 

Collins. 

The Huskies open at home on 

Sept. 3 against AuSable Valley 

at 1:30 p.m. 

Raiders Eye Grid Recovery 

By ALAIN St. PIERRE 

MASSENA - Looking ahead to the 2011 Northern Conference 

season, Massena Central varsity football coach has no interest in 

looking back to last year. 

After seeing the Raiders struggle through low numbers and 

serious injuries to a 2-7 overall record, you can’t really blame 

him. 

“It was a rough one but we have a great group of kids this year 

and we’re putting last year behind us,” said coach Anthony 

Diagostino. “This is definitely a younger group. We like the way 

the guys are working hard in practice and we’re pretty 

impressed with how they’ve performed during the different 

drills.” 

“And,” he added, “our numbers are up from last year, which is 

great.” 

Diagostino enters his fourth season at the Raider football 

helm with a team that features a solid core of 12 veterans and 

another 19 newcomers hoping to make an impact at the varsity 

level. 

Returning seniors being counted on for their leadership 

include; Josh Blanchard (RB/LB), Thomas Boudreau (OL/DL), 

Cody Coggeshall (RB/LB), Trevor Convertini (SE/DB), Brayden 

Cunningham (OL/DL), James Delosh (RB/DB), Josh Miller 

(QB/LB), Troy Myers (QB/DB), Johnny Square (RB/DB) and 

Arrow Tigglear (SE/DB). Veteran juniors Jordan Hart and Kioweren 

Rourke are also expected to anchor the Massena hopes on 

both sides of the trenches. 

Varsity newcomers hoping to earn playing time include; 

seniors - Jake Beebe (SE/DB), Joe Clute (OL/DL), Collins Jacobs 

(SE/DB) and Bradley Mayette (TE/LB), juniors - Tanner Ashlaw 

(TE/LB), Luke Benedict (SE/DB), Brian Berry (OL/DL), Steven 

David (OL/LB), Ben Light (OL/LB), Jordy Mitchell (RB/DB), Isaiah 

Perry (RB/DB), Trevor Secore (OL/DL), Tyler Simms 

(SE/DB), Sam Sprague (OL/LB), Jacob White (OL/DL) and Nick 

White (OL/DL). 

The Raiders will compete as part of the Class A Division during 

the regular season along with Potsdam, St. Lawrence Central 

and Malone. They kick-off the season on Friday, September 

2, at OFA starting at 7 p.m.

Skill Position Replacements Key Potsdam Football Hopes 

BY JOHN TURCOTTE 

POTSDAM - If Potsdam Central is to 

repeat as Section 10 Class A football 

champions, the Sandstoners will have do 

it without Section 10 rushing leader Zac 

Linsky and quarterback-team leader 

John Coleman who have taken their athletic 

skills to the next level. 

Potsdam is led by 9th-year head coach 

and former Sandstoner quarterback, Jim 

Kirka, who is working with a 33-player 

roster which includes sophomores Will 

Coleman and Shawn Clark. The two 

youngsters are battling for the starting 

nod at quarterback while seniors Jesse 

Bradish (2nd Team All NAC) and 

Dominic Centofanti look to fill the void 

left by Linsky at the tailback position. 

Coleman is considered cool under pressure 

and Clark is a very good passer with 

a good release. 

“We lost a lot of skill players and some 

of the offensive line, but the kids worked 

very hard in the off-season and it’s a 

chance for other guys to step up,” said 

coach Kirka. 

“(Senior) Josh Adams (First Team All 

NAC) is a very good tight end and (junior) 

Preston Mason is a good tackle on both 

sides of the ball. Defensively, we have several 

starters back and we could be better 

on defense than last year. The lineman 

are working hard to continue our tradition 

at Potsdam of strong line play.” 

Other Potsdam seniors include Jacob 

Moose (RB/LB), Zack Williams (OL/DL), 

Sam Skufka (WR/DB), Cody Dominique 

(DB), Liam Rice (WR), Ifem Ononye 

(RB/LB), Jay Zenger (OL/DL), Hans 

Kuno (DB), AJ Landi (RB/LB), Jordan 

Sochia (RB/DL) and Brandon Sibley 

(LB). 

Other juniors include Jason Cardinal 

(DB), Kyle Weems (WR/DB), Aaron Deon 

(OL/DL), Aaron Chandler (OL/DL), 

Kevin Jones (OL/DL), Garrett Kilgore 

(RB/DB), Ian Drummatter (OL/DL), 

Adam Lewis (RB/DB), Steven Lewis 

(RB/DB), Jake Woods (TE/LB), Dan 

Devine (WR/DB), Kyle Martin (OL/DL), 

Tory Brown (DL) and Joe Boysk (DL). 

Two other sophomores are Matt 

Cincinnati (OL/DL) and Jacob Bryant 

(WR/DB). 

Potsdam will again have a merger 

agreement with Norwood-Norfolk while 

Madrid-Waddington has been added 

late this summer as a merger school, 

though no M-W students will compete 

this year. 

The Sandstoners will play all their 

home games this season on Saturday 

afternoons, rather than Friday night as 

in the past, due to an electric usage 

problem regarding the lights. 

They kick off their season September 

3 at home against Beekmantown starting 

at 2 p.m.

New Coach At Canton; 

FA Boys Pursue CC Repeat 

John Casserly, the Dean of Section 10 

cross country coaches for the past several 

years, has stepped down after a long and 

extremely successful run at Canton Central. 

Casserly will remain as a volunteer assistant 

in the Golden Bear program with Tom 

Van dewater taking over as head coach. 

“I thought it was a good time. Tom and I 

have been working together a number of 

years and it’s a good opportunity for me to 

let go of the reigns,” said Casserly. 

For sectionals and states this year, classifications 

are as follows: Class B teams 

include Canton, OFA and Malone; Class C 

teams include Salmon River, Potsdam, and 

Gouverneur while Class D teams include 

Norwood-Norfolk, Brushton-Moira and Tupper 

Lake. 

The 2011 sectional meet will be held in 

Canton while the state meet will be held 

this year at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High 

School in Central New York. 

CANTON 

The Canton boys are rebuilding and the 

roster includes Jay Kepes, Jake Beaudette, 

Jacob Gallup, Nick Archibald, Charles Ames 

and Noah Roberts. 

The Canton girls should be top contenders 

led by veterans Chelsea Huyck and Laura 

Pierce who are joined by Abby Hampson, 

Shayla Williams, Rebecca and Gemma Del 

Rossi, Jamie DiSalvo, Maria Ricalton, Grace 

Brown and Laura Orosz. 

OFA 

OFA junior Alex Wood will run among the 

elite of the section and leads Coach Chris 

McRoberts’ boys squad which also includes 

Andree Cole (jr), Tyler Knowlton (jr), Russell 

Jaquith (jr), Spencer Lawrence (jr), Seth 

Tebo (so), and Seth Montpelier (so). 

Freshman Danyelle Steenkamer and Morristown 

Central sophomore Kurstyn Mac- 

Caulay lead the OFA girls team while 

rounding out the team are Janel Fredericks 

(sr), Liz Brennan (sr) and Julie Mitchell (sr). 

MALONE 

Last year, the Franklin Academy boys 

cross country team finished with a perfect 

10-0 league record, won all the league 

invites, interdivisional races, and also 

claimed the Section 10 title. That team also 

placed at the state meet. 

The returning of a solid core of runners 

features two seniors, veteran runner Doug 

Fitzgerald and newcomer Ross Barber. 

Returning for their junior year will be 

Conor Gordon, Morgan Marlow, Corey 

Lamere and Rourk Marlow, all of whom are 

expected to place consistently in the top 

seven for the Huskies. 

Joining Barber in vying for placing in the 

top seven scoring spots are juniors Mike 

Haas and Sam Holmes, and sophomores 

Ben Schanck and Brennan Gervais 

“The team is shaping up to be a state contender,” 

stated FA coach Matt Tessier. 

Meanwhile, Jeff Soper is at the helm of 

the Franklin Academy girls varsity cross 

country team. 

The Lady Huskies finished second in the 

league with a 7-1 record in 2010. Soper 

believes that FA returns enough experience 

to make a run at the sectional crown. 

Returning with varsity experience are 

sophomores Rebekkah Bond, who was 

fourth at the sectionals last season, Carrie 

Pomainville (10th), Brooke Bronner (14th), 

Charlene Scott (23rd), and Catherine Tighe 

(53rd) as well as seniors Finnegan (36th) 

and Stepnoski (48th). 

POTSDAM

Barnes, in her 17th season with the program. 

The Potsdam girls’ team includes Marie 

Amell (9th), Sarah-Marie Choong (11th), 

Madi Dow (9th), Christina Firl (11th), Mary 

Garner (11th) and Katie Pierce (11th) 

The Potsdam boys team includes William 

Baker Hastings (11th), Connor Brady (9th), 

(Kieth Bolt 9th), Chatham Borsh (11th),

Lee (9th) , James Merrill (11th), Ben Miller 

(10th), Spencer Neaton (12th), Clifford 

Reilly (11th) and Ethan Vinson (11th). 

NORWOOD-NORFOLK 

The Flyer boys are led by coach Kent Fetter 

who begins his 12th season as head 

coach and his 23rd year overall with the 

Flyer program. Becky Byrns returns for her 

7th year as assistant coach. 

The N-N boys team includes senior Josh 

Eng; sophomores Connor Levison, Tyler 

Weller and Jacob Wellings; along with 

freshmen Ryan Ridgeway, Devon Grant, 

Thomas Scott, Tyler Hardy, Brandon 

Cousineau and Austin Cousineau. 

“The boys are basically a young team with 

a few veterans who have competed on the 

state level. We’ve lost to graduation Kyle 

Palmer who is running for Norwich University 

and Jordan Spencer who is running for 

Paul Smiths,” said coach Fetter. 

The N-N girls team includes seniors

leader for the team. We have lost to graduation 

Victoria Hall who will be competing for 

York College of Pennsylvania,” said Fetter.

Expected to compete for coach Roland 

Moquin on the B-M boys team are senior Z.

Strong Numbers, Move To Class C Boost Canton Hopes 

By JOHN TURCOTTE 

CANTON - Austin Weakfall, 

a former player and assistant 

coach at St. Lawrence University, 

begins his third year as 

head football coach at Canton 

Central after taking over the 

Golden Bear program in 2009. 

Coming off a 2-7 finish last 

year, Canton has some of its 

best numbers in recent years 

with 32 in camp. Weakfall welcomes 

back senior Zach Zeller 

(First Team All NAC) to 

anchor the tight end and linebacker 

corps while junior veterans 

Jay Proulx and Jack 

Elberty are competing for the 

starting nod at quarterback. 

Seniors Nash Bessette and 

Dan Holcomb are linemen to 

watch on both sides of the ball 

while classmate Eb Foote provides 

speed at the running 

back slot as the number of 

Canton seniors on hand this 

year has grown considerably 

since last season. 

“Finally we have guys who 

have been in the program a 

few years and understand our 

offensive and defensive philosophy. 

We’re getting some 

junior and senior leadership, 

some depth and continuity, 

and at all levels the numbers 

are growing,” said Weakfall 

who likes what he’s seen of 

several veterans in the early 

going and looks for the seniors 

to shine in their final year of 

football. 

“We have good team speed 

at the skill positions and Jack 

Elberty and Jay Proulx (Second 

Team All NAC) will both 

see time at quarterback. Jay is 

a vocal leader and will also 

play other positions on 

offense. He’s our guy on both 

sides of the ball. Defensively, 

Zach Zeller is battling back 

from injury and should be 

with us by the third or fourth 

game. Right now he’s like having 

another coach on the field. 

Nash Bessette has grinded it 

out in the weight room and I 

also look for a good year from 

Dan Holcomb, he’s a bigger 

version of Nash. Eb Foote is 

fast, quick and shifty. He’s our 

scatback.” 

Other returners include 

seniors Adam Widener 

(OL/DL), Ryan Dean (FB/LB), 

Pat McGaw (TE/LB), Josh 

Smith (WR/DB) and Sam Wilson 

(FB/LB). 

Newcomers are senior 

Nathan Roberts (OL/DL); 

juniors Nicholas Snyder 

(OL/DL), Jon Pinckney 

(OL/DL), Josh Pierson 

(WR/DB), Cody Peters 

(WR/DB), Richard Martin 

(FB/LB) and Nate Miller 

(OL/DL); sophomores Justin 

Thurber (WR/DB), Dathon 

Thurber (WR/DB), Pat Thompson 

(OL/DL), Ryan Denny 

(RB/LB), Austin Herne 

(OL/DL), Thomas Lumbard 

(OL/DL) and Zach Markel 

(OL/DL); and freshmen Payton 

Vanbibber (RB/LB), 

Hunter Yeardon (WR/DB), 

SLC Football Young But Experienced 


BRASHER FALLS - Underclassmen once 

again dominate the St. Lawrence Central varsity 

football team roster. 

But that doesn’t mean the Larries head into 

the 2011 Northern Conference season lacking 

experience. 

“We’re going to be young again but we have 

quite a few kids back from last year who 

gained a lot of valuable playing experience 

and that should help out,” noted coach Bill 

Scharf, who enters his third season at the varsity 

helm. 

“We’ve already noticed a difference in practice 

this year. They’re picking things up more 

quickly because it’s not new to them anymore 

and we’ve been able to work more things in,” 

he added. 

The Larries, who went 1-8 overall in 2010, 

only return one senior but 12 juniors on the 

roster are back after making lead contributions 

last fall. The rest of the 2011 lineup consists 

of first-year sophomores and a pair of 

seniors making their varsity debuts. The SLC 

lineup will benefit from mergers with the 

Brushton-Moira and Parishville-Hopkinton 

Central school districts. Each neighboring district 

is providing a pair of student-athletes 

this fall. 

Josh Gonzalez is the only returning senior 

and will be counted on to anchor what is 

expected to be a much improved offensive line 

as a tackle. The core of junior veterans 

includes Devon Euto, who took over as starting 

quarterback by the middle of last season 

and is slated to reprise his role as the top SLC 

signal-caller, Camren Campeau (TE), Jessi 

Greer (RB), Corey LaBarge (RB/WR), Brandon 

LaShomb (OT), Kyle Montroy (C), Todd Ramsdell 

(WR), Troy Ramsdell (OT), Triston Riley 

(C), Cody Rogers (OL), Sean Rosia (OL) and 

Tyler Smith (TE/RB). 

Newcomers to the varsity ranks this season 

include; seniors - Eric Deshane (DL) and Erny 

Munford (TE/DL), juniors - Cody Burns (OG), 

Charles Hartson (TE, DB), Cole LaFlesh (RB) 

and Dakota Vallance (RB/WR), sophomores 

Devon Agen (TE/RB), David Barney (OT), 

Gavin Chase (OT), Adam Dishaw (DL), Eric 

Hull (DL), Mike Burns (QB), Oden Robertson 

(RB), Nathan Johnson (C/DL), David Plante 

(RB/WR), Hunter Ramsdell (DT), Tayler 

Richard (TE), Kris Tabor and Jacob St. Mary 

(DB). Offensive tackle Chris Gray is the lone 

freshman on the team. 

“Our numbers are up and the competition 

within the team has stepped up. Kids are 

working hard to get starting jobs. They know 

that the guy that puts in the extra effort is 

going to have the edge,” noted Scharf. 

“This year, we’re also more well-balanced. 

The last couple of years, we’ve had either 

strong linemen or strong running backs. We 

have both this year,” he added. 

The Larries, who will be competing in the 

Class A Division along with Massena, Potsdam 

and Franklin Academy this season, were 

slated to make their debut, September 2, on 

the road against Seton Catholic of Plattsburgh 

but that game had been cancelled with the 

announcement that Seton Catholic will not be 

fielding a team. 

According to Scharf, the Larries are not 

likely to be able to find a replacement team 

and will draw a bye, pushing their season 

opener to Saturday, September 10, in Malone 

against Class A rival Franklin Academy. Also, 

for the first time in several years, the Larries 

will be competing in the Section 10 Class A 

playoffs this fall. 

Garrison Barcomb (FB/LB) 

and John Romanelli (OL/DL). 

The Golden Bears open 

their 2011 season on Friday, 

September 2 with a nonleague 

game at Lowville Academy. 

Merger agreements have 

been discontinued with 

Heuvelton and Hermon- 

DeKalb, so Canton moves 

from 

from Class A to Class C for 

sectionals, joining OFA, 

Saranac Lake, and Ausable 

Valley in that division. Canton

On Newcomers To Step Up 

GOUVERNEUR- Entering the 2011 North Country Football 

Conference Section 7-10 campaign, Gouverneur Central School 

Head Coach Sean Devlin and his assistant Justin Young will be 

looking for someone to fill the big shoes of the graduated Zach 

Cummings, the team’s leading rusher and top defensive player. 

Cummings gained 910 yards on 132 totes last fall and scored six 

touchdowns at running back for the Wildcats who finsihed 3-5 

overall, 3-4 in regular season play and 2-3 against Class B schools. 

He also led the team in tackles. 

Also graduated from the program are Kevin Fuller, Alex Wedlock, 

Jared Knowlton, Richard Jesmer, Corey Prashaw, Don Whiteford, 

Tyler Douglass, Richard McIntosh, Cameron LaPlant and 

Dan Slate. Whiteford and Wedlock were the second and third leading 

defenders and Jesmer was the top receiver. 

“We lost some very good players,” said Coach Devlin. “We’re going 

to be young. We only have seven or eight starters back from last 

year’s team including four starting linemen. We’re not big but we’ll 

have some quickness.” 

Coaches Devlin and Young do return their starting quarterback 

in Shane Gould. Gould passed for 376 yards going 30-for-66 on the 

season with three touchdowns 

“Shane played well last year at quarterback and junior running 

back Levi Love had some nice plays as Zach’s backup last year, said 

Devlin whose team also returns senior offensive-defensive linemen 

Kyle Bigwarfe, Lucas Bulsiewicz, Benjamin Mulvaney, and Jacob 

VanOrman; senior offensive lineman-linebacker Brenden Ward; 

junior offensive-defensive lineman Brandon Washburn; senior 

widereceiver-linebacker Nathan Guesford and junior runningbacklinebacker 

Dustin Earlywine. 

“Our linemen might not be big. But they can move well and 

they’re athletic. Our game this season will be based on speed and 

getting to the holes quick,” Devlin noted. 

Newcomers to the team are: Hunter Ayen (Jr. DE/TE), Kacy 

Barley (Jr. WR/DB), Justin Cummings (Jr. FB/LB), Curtis Fuller 

(Jr. FB/LB), Troy Gates (Fr. TE/DE), Brandon Geer (Jr. OL/DL), 

Joseph Hamilton (Jr. OL/DL), Mark Horne (Jr. QB/DB), Seth Moon 

(Jr. OL/DL), Daniel Neuroth (Jr. OL/DL), Michael Roll (Sr. DL), 

Ricky Sides (Sr. OL/LB), Tanner Spilman (Jr. RB/DE), Anthony 

Way (Jr. RB/DB), Skyler Way (Sr. WR/DB), Aaron Wing (Sr. 

OL/DE), and Cody Woods (Jr. WR/DB). 

“This group has been fun to work with. They’re working hard 

and looking to improve every day,” commented Devlin.

NAC Central Boys Soccer Boasts Strong Field 

The NAC Central Division 

for boys soccer will feature a 

new look this fall but the level 

of quality teams will remain 

the same heading into the 

2011 season. 

The Central Division features 

defending Section 10 

Class B champion Potsdam 

and Class A champion Malone, 

reigning regular season 

champion OFA along with 

Canton and Gouverneur. 

OFA: OFA will show a new look as they 

venture into a new look Central season. 

“We will have a new look this season 

because for the first time in my five years 

we will enter the season without a proven 

major scoring threat. And we lost a very 

good group of seniors who were really 

soccer- oriented as their favorite sport,” 

said OFA Coach Matt Morley who must 

replace key players in Kyle Manke (six 

goals, 13 assists), Brent Lalonde (2g-7a), 

Paul LaPlante (2g-3a), Andy Rickett (2-1), 

Gerry Guimond (2-1), and John Paul 

Burns (1g-2a). 

The Devils will also start the season 

without one of the premier players in 

Section 10 in Grant Prudhomme (18 

goals, 11 assists) who opted to play his 

senior year in prep school. 

The new Central Division in 

girls soccer in the Northern 

Athletic Conference includes a 

strong field including defending 

Central Division champion 

Potsdam, defending 

Class A champion Massena 

along OFA with Gouverneur 

and Malone. 

Massena: Coach Ryan Hayes begins 

his fourth season at the helm of the 

Raiders and must replace three very talented 

players from last year’s club which 

won the Class A championship and reach 

the New York State Regional Finals in a 

13-4-1 (overall) 12-1-1 (NAC Central) campaign. 

“The strength of our team will be our 

defending, conditioning, and ball control. 

We are an experienced team as 12 players 

have varsity experience. We are looking to 

possess the ball and control the field of 

play,” said Hayes after losing Nyssa 

LaClair (1st Team NAC, 10 goals), Siera 

Thomas Burke (2nd Team NAC), and 

Coree Phillips (2nd Team NAC) to graduation. 

Junior forward Dominique Valencius 

was named First Team All NAC after scoring 

10 goals and adding five assists. 

Senior forward Taylor Romeo was also 

selected First Team All NAC after scoring 

nine goals and producing five assists. Also 

figuring in last year’s scoring were returners 

Morgan Albert (Sr-Fwd 1g, 2a), Kallie 

Barnes (Sr-Def 3g, 1a)), Kylie Buckshot 

(Sr-Mid 2g, 2a), Teresa Grigg (Sr-Mid 2g). 

Other returners include: Emmalyn 

Dupree (Sr-Def.), Erin Francis (Jr-Mid.), 

Hanna Gleason (Sr.-Mid), Ellen Hurlbut

at varsity are Kathleen Kassian (Jr- 

Mid.), Carle Leary (Soph-Mid.), Courtney 

Manley (Fresh-GK), Lidsay Martin (Jr- 

Fwd.), Taylor Peets (Jr.-GK), Natalie 

Pesold (Jr.-Mid), Stephanie Premo (Jr.- 

Mid.), Stephanie Rogers (Jr.-Mid), Kaleigh 

Zappia (Jr.-Def.) 

“I consider myself to be very blessed 

for the outstanding offensive players that 

I have coached. We don't have a player 

like that right now but we have a lot of 

solid players and we will have to work 

together to score our goals. This year's 

team will be more defensive-oriented 

than we were last season but we will still 

be very competitive,” said Coach Morley. 

Anchoring the Devils will be returning 

defensive starters in seniors A.J. Missert 

and Quinn Rufa and junior Alec Manke 

and senior goaltender Matt Tolman who 

gained valuable experience as last 

year's backup keeper. Junior Gian Rufa 

(10 goals) is the only returning starter on 

the front line and defender Sean Love, 

Jerrett Piercey and forward Dustin 

Harper are the only other seniors on the 

Devils' roster.

at SUNY Canton. But this season, Coach 

Benda must replace all but two starters including 

their leading scorers in Scott Bartenstein 

(seven goals), Shawn Lillie (seven goals), and 

Peter McAdoo (six goals) and starting keeper 

“ The division will be very competitive 

this year. Potsdam will be solid as always. 

With the new league re-alignment we are 

looking forward to seeing some new and 

competitive teams. At Massena we build 

from the defense to the offense. Defensively 

we look strong with Courtney Manley 

making her debut in goal. She has 

worked hard over the summer to learn the 

position. She will be positioned with her 

sister Marissa, captain Kallie Barnes, Erin 

Francis, and Kaleigh Zappia in the 

defense,” said Hayes. 

Potsdam: Coach Joe Stark must 

replace three-time Jeffers Tournament 

MVP Cassie Grace (14 goals, seven 

assists), goalie Monqiue Cornett, Tess 

Hazen, Alysha Brown, Alicia Fayette, 

Rachel Johnson, Megan Judware, Emily 

Miller, Juliana Stoian, and Beth Waters 

from last year’s Central League championship 

team (13-0-1, 15-1-1 overall). 

Senior forwards Keeley Rice (11 goals, 

10 assists) and Lia Davis (16 goals, four 

assists) are the Stoners top returning players. 

OFA: When asked where the major 

strengths of her team lie, OFA Girls Soccer 

Coach Lauren Morley flashed a huge 

smile and answered: “all over the field”. 

“We have solid people at every position, 

our leadership is spread all over the 

field and we have a lot of experience,” said 

Coach Morley looking ahead to a challenging 

schedule in in the new look four 

division Northern Conference. 

“We have our starting goalie back in 

Allysha Bracy, Caily Arquitt is a returning 

All-NAC player in our defense, Brook Badlam 

is only sophomore but she gives us a 

three-year varsity player at stopper, we 

have three veteran midfielders with outstanding 

speed in Mackenzie Cole, 

MaKenzi Stevenson and Nikki Holmes; 

and Shannon Tooley gives us a major 

scoring threat to lead the front line.” 

Bracy, Cole, Arquitt, Stevenson, Cole 

and another returning defensive starter in 

Brianna Barber head a nine-player senior 

class which also includes: Emily LaFleur 

(midfield), Grace Testani (defense), 

Mikayla Wagstaff (midfield) and Chalsie 

Rivet (forward). 

Sebastian Grimberg. Ben Aldrich, Garrett Ditullio, 

John Jadlos, Kris Merchant, Ryan Merriman, 

Corey Neaton, and David Smith also 

departed along with underclassman James 

McDonald. 

“Our starters will have lack of starting 

experience, but most of them received a great 

deal of time last season. We’ve have some 

pretty good players returning and if we work 

together we can compete,” said Benda whose 

team finished 6-4-2 Central, 10-6-3 overall in 

putting it all together at the end of the season. 

Senior Lee Buchanan (CHB-Mid) scored 

three goals last season and is expected to be

Ononye (HB). 

Massena: Coach Betty Robert rejoins the 

coaching ranks at Massena, taking over the 

boys program from long-time coach Pat Hen- 

Tooley led last year's junior varsity 

team in scoring and played very well as a 

late-season varsity callup. Coach Morley 

expects her to combine with fellow junior

level are juniors: Mary Burns (D-F), Stacy

and says the team is working hard adjusting

experience with the varsity girls program. The 

Raiders will be rebuilding as just five players 

return from last year’s 6-5-1 NAC Central, 7-6- 

3 overall campaign.

be hard to replace last year’s seniors,”

Madrid-Waddington reached 

the state final four in Class C 

last year, Parishville-Hopkinton 

is the defending Class D 

champion while Chateaugay 

won the NAC East. 

M-W: Madrid-Waddington made a memorable run 

to the 2010 New York State Class C Boys Soccer Final 

Four last season, but 

Coach Gary Tischler (26th year) will have the task 

of rebuilding his team after the departure of nine 

seniors including Watertown Daily Times All North 

MVP Kody Sharlow and teammates Tyler Jacquith, 

Brandon Perrine, Will O’Bryan, Brom Steinberg, 

Quinn Shoen, Jason Jock, Justin Pierce, and Pat 

Sharlow (Sr. MF), 

The Jackets finished 14-2-3 last season, 9-0-3 in 

NAC East play as Sharlow was the team’s leading 

play maker with 31 points with Jaquith was third with 

10 points. 

Coach Tischler, however, returns his top qoal 

scorer in Zach Marcellus (12 goals), his starting goalie 

in Alex Brock, and capable offensive contributors in 

Colin O’Bryan (Jr. Mid 4 goals), and Matt Kendall (Jr. 

HB 3 Goals). 

Parishville-Hopkinton: Coach Tony Engstrom 

has the luxury of returning nine starters from a 11- 

5-3, 7-2-3 NAC East team which captured the 

Class D sectional crown. 

“This group of players has played a lot of soccer 

together. We’ve got a great core of seniors,” 

said Engstrom who must replace goalie Blake 

Wilcox and three others including Garrett 

Richards, Coleman Newtown and Kris Bicknell. 

The Panther return six players who figured in 

the scoring last season, including Tyler Gallagher 

(Sr. For. 8 goals), Zach Newtown (Sr. Mid 7 

goals), Bryan Bicknell (Sr. For 6 goals), Franklin 

Pullano (Sr. Mid 2 goals), Chase Donovan (Sr. 

Mid 1 goal) and John Conger (Sr. Mid 2 goals). 

Parker Meashaw will take over goalie duties 

as a junior. Other returners include: Phillip Huckins 

(Sr. FB), Brandon Thibodeaux (Sr. Fow), 

Dustin Andrus (Sr. FB), David Eames (Jr. FB), 

Issac Colbert (Sr. FB/Goalie), Tyler Lamphear (Sr. 

FB), Devin Tebo (Sr. FB). 

Newcomers include: Carl Strader (Jr. FB), Jordan 

Dishaw (Jr. For), Fred Vacciquva (Sr. For), Pat 

Close East Girls Soccer Race Eyed 

The new East Division of 

the Northern Athletic Conference 

in girls soccer consists of 

Chateaugay, Madrid-Waddington, 

Parishville-Hopkinton, 

Colton-Pierrepont, St. Regis 

Falls, Edwards-Knox and Tupper 

Lake. 

Chateaugay is the defending 

Class D champion and returns 

eight starters while M-W also 

returns most of its team. 

Chateaugay: Coach Steve Lang returns 

eight starters from last year’s Section 10 Class D 

Championship team that finished 15-4-1 overall, 

12-2 in NAC East. 

But the three starters who graduated combined 

for 30 goals and 18 assists. Raquel Fowler 

(16g, 8a) is playing at SUNY Plattsburgh while 

Nikki Cooke-Paige (14g, 10a) is playing collegiately 

in Canada. Brianna Smith was also a 

starter in the defensive end. 

Coach Lang has several players back who 

generated scoring for the Bulldogs. Kelly Favaro 

(Sr. For 5g, 5a), Courtney (Jr. Line 5g, 5a), 

Stephanie Whyte (Jr. HB 3g, 4a), Mikayla 

Fleury (Jr. Goalie-HB 2g, 0a), Alexis Beach (Jr. 

For 5g, 7a), Hanna Cook (Soph. CHB 6g, 8a) all 

return from last season. 

Also returning are: Shelby Coleman (Sr. FB), 

Sarah Gardiner (Jr. FB), Lindsay Matthews (Jr. 

FB), Nicole Lamica (Jr. Sweeper), Hanna Trudell 

(Jr. HB), Morgan Legacy (Jr. HB), Abby Barnes 

(Soph. FB).

Line), Rachel Decosse (Soph. HB), Brandy Cook 

(Fr. Stopper), Katie Beach (Fr. Line), Taylor 

Winch (Fr. HB), Holly Zelderon (Fr. Goalie), and 

Danielle Sharland (8th HB). 

Madrid-Waddington: Coach Matt Daley 

returns everyone from his 6-7-1 NAC East, 7-9-2 

team except All NAC Jena Cryderman, All NAC 

Shelby MacIntosh (five goals), Makenzie Hough 

and Onalie Beckstead. 

“We have a very good group of players back. 

We’ve got some speed so hopefully, we can use 

that to our advantage offensively. We’ve got to 

replace Jena and Shelby but our program from 

the youth level and junior varsity has been 

strong for several years and we’ve got 24 to work 

with,” said Daley. 

Sophomore forward Taylor Lenny is the top 

scorer returning as she scored eight goals last 

season. Junior forward/middies Katie Marcellus 

(five goals) and Taylor Marcellus (three goals) 

and senior forward Brittany Pierce (three goals) 

all contributed offensively for the Jackets last 

year and look to improve those numbers. 

Senior Lauren Sharpe anchors the defense in 

goal. Other key seniors include: Shelby Gausby 

(Mid), Stephanie Carkner (FB), Courtney Ashley 

(FB), Sierra Fox (For), Megan Gabri (Mid), and 

Sara Taber (FB). 

Sierra Dumas (FB), Miykayla Blair (Mid), 

Katie Tiernan (FB), Bridget Beldock (Mid), Zoey 

Zagrobelny (Mid), Andrea Wyman (HB), Emily 

Uppstrom (Mid), Shelby Kendall (GK), Cassie 

McKnight (FB), and Brittany Baillargeon (Mid) 

make up the rest of the junior class. 

Sophomores Desiree Pryce (Mid) and Emily 

Doegler (Mid) saw time in the playoffs last season, 

getting called up from JV’s. 

Parishville-Hopkinton: Coach Evan 

Harper begins his 31st season with a career 

mark of 354-217-52 and believes his team 

should be strong despite losing 10 seniors 

including six starters in Rebecca Remington (3 

goals, 12 assists), Nicole Gary, Cayla McGregor, 

Jessica Helfter, Chelsea Guyette, and Alayna 

Crump. 

“We have a good amount of experienced players 

up front and on defense. And several of our 

younger players are strong enough to give us 

good depth. But our key players must be very 

consistent every day,” said Harper. 

Coach Harper returns two talented All 

Northerns including senior Natalie Remington 

(FB-For.) and sophomore Kodi Perkins (FB-For). 

Perkins scored 21 goals last season. Other key 

returners with offensive skills include: freshman 

Nicole White (For-FB), senior Jena Jacot 

(For.Mid, 2 goals), junior Emily Sloan (For.-Mid 5 

goals), and junior Michaela Cole (Mid-For. 3 

goals). Brianna Hayes (Soph. For-Mid), Elisabeth 

LaVelle (Sr. FB), Monique Jenkinson (Sr. 

FB), Megan Evans (Sr. GK-Mid), and Jessica 

Richards (Sr. FB-Mid) round out the veteran 

group. 

Newcombers include: Ashley Schiavone (Sr. 

FB), Brandy Thibodeaux (Sr. FB), Jenna Converse 

(Jr. Mid-For), Caitlin McGregor (Jr. FB- 

For), Olivia Norman (Jr. Mid-For), Kinsey Paradis 

(Jr. Mid-For), Allexis Charleston (Soph. 

Mid), Dona Colbert (Soph. Mid For), Alyssa 

Guyette (Soph. FB), Sophie Norman (Soph. For- 

Mid), Makenzie Reif (Soph. FB), Megan Sullivan 

(Soph. FB-For), Monica Votra (Soph. Mid-For), 

and Marlee Wilson (Soph. Mid-GK). 

“Our division will be very tough with 

Chateaugay and Madrid-Waddington and the 

addition of Tupper Lake and Edwards. With the 

realignment, that should give similar-sized 

schools equitable chance for success. We just 

need to hustle and show good teamwork to be 

successful,” said Harper. 

Colton-Pierrepont: Coach Craig Bogart is 

looking forward to the 2011 campaign looking to 

build off a 2-10-2 NAC East, 3-12-3 overall 

record of last year. 

“It will be interesting to see the new format 

this season. We are certainly excited to be playing 

more "D" schools,” said Bogart. 

“We are bringing back several players who 

played key roles from last year, a year in which 

we won a playoff game and gave Heuvelton a 

good run in the quarters. We are also bringing 

up a group of young players that I feel can step 

in right away and hopefully lessen the losses of 

our valuable seniors from last season including 

Taylor Bonno, leading scorer Alex Sochia, 

Brooke Baker, and Andilynn Remington.” 

Brianna Beaulieu anchors the team’s 

defense in goal. Other defenders include: Hunter 

Farr, Jenna Paul. Tiffany Green, Abbie Johnson 

and Kylie McKinley. 

Tara Hennessy and Andrea Aldous highlight 

the returning midfield and will be joined by 

newcomers Rachael Vacarro, Morgan Doyle, 

Autumn Clark, Haylee Hennessy and Sabrina 

Johnson. 

Chelsea McKinley and Whitney Miller have 

experience as varsity members at forward. First 

year players include: Kathryn Miller, Darrah 

Panzarella, Karrie Long and Sara Guiney. 

Edwards-Knox: Coach Patty Matthews- 

Taylor begins her third season with the Cougars. 

“The NAC East is going to be a very difficult 

division with Chateaugay, Parishville-Hopkinton, 

and Madrid-Waddington. Add Tupper Lake, 

Colton-Pierrepont, and St. Regis Falls and wins 

will be hard to get. We’re very young after losing 

Kamrie Dandrow (24 goals) and four other 

starters including Abby Campbell, Kayley Hartley, 

Kelly Henderix, and Ashley Davison from 

last year’s 6-8-1 NAC West, 7-9-2 team,” said 

Coach Matthews-Taylor. 

Senior fullback Clair Davis (5 assists), senior 

midfielder Mercedes Mackin (3 goals), senior 

halfback Veronica White (2 goals), and sophomore 

forward Harleigh LaBarge (4 goals) figured 

in the scoring for the Cougars last season 

and return. 

Rounding out the Cougars are: Kylie Averill 

(Sr. For), Jadilynn Bullock (Soph. HB), Molly 

Burger (Fr. FB), Jana Fountain (Sr. FB), Bridget 

Gladle (Soph. For), Katie Hale (Jr. Goalie), 

Mackenzie Hall (Fr. FB), Kate Rowe (Soph. 

Line), Katie Smith (Fr. HB), Madison Tresidder 

(Sr. FB), Mackenzie Tresidder (Fr. FB), and Ashley 

Whitmarsh (Soph. Line). 

Tupper Lake: Coach Russ Bartlett believes 

the Lumberjack switch to the NAC East is beneficial 

for all 24 schools in Section 10 as TL 

comes off a 5-10-1 (3-10-1 NAC Central) campaign 

last year. 

“I believe the competitive balance is great. 

This new setup will make it balanced for many 

of the 24 schools. This season, we’ve got eight 

returning starters and 12 players with experience. 

But replacing Kyla Kenyon (11 goals) and 

Tiarra Spencer will be tough,” said Bartlet. 

Senior goalie Kelsie St. Louis and senior fullback-forward 

Carley Aldridge are back to anchor 

the defense. Other senior returners include: 

Paige Dukett (FB), Toni Facteau (Mid), Ciera 

North (FB), Sam Samford (Mid). The veteran 

junior class consists of Katie Stuart (For), Skylar 

Trivieri (For), Alexa Shumway (Jr. FB), Christine 

Kelly (For), and Madison LaVigne (Mid-FB) 

while sophomore Madison Kelly (Mid) played 

last season. Newcomers are: Paige Luton (Jr. 

Mid-FB), Lauren Bouck (Soph. mid), and Lizzy 

Zurek (Soph. FB). 

Tall (Jr. Mid), Nick King (Sr. Mid), Brock Waite 

(Soph. FB), Preston Frank (Soph. Mid), Joey 

Jacot (Soph. Mid), Reed Donovan (Soph. Mid), 

Donovan Tebo (Soph. FB) and William Schiavonie 

(Soph. For). 

Colton-Pierrepont: Coach Jim Nee begins 

his fifth season after taking over the program from 

Rod Thomas. Coach Nee must replace Tory 

Boyce, Mark Avery and Robert Beaulieu from last 

year’s 3-7-2 NAC East, 5-11-2 overall club. 

“This year we have a stronger number of 

seniors who have been the backbone of the 

offense and defense over the last two years. Our 

struggles will come with many new faces seeing a 

greater number of minutes than in the past few 

years,” said Nee. 

Senior forward Mike Murray (five goals) and 

Alex Bonno (three goals) highlight the returning 

class along with senior midfielder Dan Knight. 

James McFaddin (Sr. Mid), Erick Muller (Sr. Mid), 

Tim Rapczynski (Sr. Mid), Craig Miller (Jr GK/For), 

Jake (J.J.) Angleberger (Jr. For), Alex Harcourt (Jr. 

FB), Gyle Dominy (Jr. FB), Nick Avery (Jr. Def), 

Isaiah Johnson (Jr. For), Andrew Holden (Soph. 

Def), Noah Whalen (Soph. Mid), and Scott Boyce 

(Soph. Mid) round out the veteran group. 

Newcomers Jordan Porter (Sr. FB), Bruce 

Avery (Soph For-GK), John Patraw (Jr. For), and 

Jon Porter (Soph. Mid) are looking to make immediate 

impacts. 

“The NAC East division looks to be solid from 

the top to the bottom. We have the defending D 

champ in Parshiville-Hopkinton, the defending C 

champ in Madrid-Waddington (State Final Four) 

and the defending division champ Chateaugay. Not 

to mention East division newcomer Edwards-Knox 

and a vastly improved team in St Regis Falls. We 

will have to stay healthy and work hard in the 

classroom to be successful. If we approach every 

game with intensity and continue to build on our 

team chemistry we will be a difficult team to 

beat. Also, a little luck along the way would be nice 

as well,” added Nee. 

Chateaugay: Coach Bob Ouimet has to 

replace seven starters from last year’s 12-6, 10-2 

NAC East team. 

“We lost two or three players from every area 

of the field. We’ve got Michael Boyea back as our 

leading scorer and our starting keeper in Erik 

Fleury. But right now, Cory Richards hasn’t practiced 

because of a knee injury and he’ll be a huge 

loss for us. We’re going to need our youth to 

develop quickly and with us being a week behind 

everyone in the state, that hurts us,” said Ouimet. 

Boyea (Sr. For-Mid) scored 11 goals last season. 

Also aiding offensively last season were Gar- 

rett LaBare (Sr. For-Mid), Joe McGillcuddy (Sr. 

For-Mid), and Michael Trombly (Sr. FB). Richards 

(Sr Mid), and Kelly O’Connor (Sr. FB-Mid) who 

round out the returning players. 

Newcomers include: Devin Barnes (Jr. Goalie- 

Line), Brandon Sharland (Jr. Line), Dakota Cook- 

Paige (HB), Jake English (Jr. HB), Mitchell Hesseltine 

(Jr. HB-For), Tyler Martin (Jr. HB-FB), Greg 

Holmes (Jr. HB-FB), Trevor Lang (Jr. HB), Derek 

Martin (Jr. HB-FB), Pat Swanson (Jr. HB-FB), 

Devin Willis (Sr. HB-FB), Dan Wilcox (Jr. HB-Mid), 

and Chad Stalker (Soph. HB-FB). 

Edwards-Knox: Coach Joe Knox enters his 

team into the NAC East this season through 

realignment after a 9-7-2 overall, 7-6-1 NAC West 

campaign. 

“The league is going to be very tough with 

Madrid-Waddington, Parishville-Hopkinton, 

Chateaugay, and Colton-Pierrepont. With being 

new to this league, we’re the unknown which 

could be a key for us, but also could be a weakness 

because we don’t know many of these 

teams either,” said Knox who must replace 25goal 

scorer Jon Davison and Joe Thompson (six 

goals). 

Junior forward Jesse Bullock (three goals), 

sophomore forward-goalie Kaden Dandrow (three 

goals), and junior midfield-forward Ryan Gollinger 

(three goals) all return to the line-up. Ben Fuller 

(HB, FB, For), Luke Fuller (Sr. For), Dan Williams 

(FB), and Caleb Gillian (HB/FB/For) are the 

seniors leaders of the team while Tyler Tresidder 

(For/HB/FB), Brandon Dunn (FB), Brent Archer 

(FB-Mid), Chris Davison (HB/FB), Terry Hull (For), 

and Nic Davison (Goalie) all return as juniors. 

Rounding out the team are: sophomores Kyle 

Gotham (FB), Jordan Davis (HB/FB), Derek Clark 

(For/Mid), Austin Brown (FB), Abe White (FB), 

Hunter Tuttle (HB/FB), Lenny Walrath (FB), and 

Dillon Jenack (For/Mid) and freshman Nick Davis 

(HB/FB). 

St. Regis Falls: Aaron Varin begins his first 

season with the Saints booters looking to 

improve from a 0-13 campaign. 

“We’ll be aggressive and fast, but we’re 

small,” said Varin. 

Varin returns Mike Fraser, Caleb Green, Cody 

Lane, William Votra, and Timmy Wheeler. Kyler 

Agans, Joe Arno, Ryan Duquette, Anthony Gibson, 

Louis Goodrow, Michael Smith and Brandon 

Votra are the newcomers. 

“We need to play smart, but aggressive. If we 

can stay positive we can be successful,” Varin 

added.

Another Tight West Boys Soccer Race Expected 

The NAC West Boys Soccer 

circuit will be missing one of 

it charter members this fall as 

Edwards-Knox has moved to 

the NAC East in the new four 

division alignment. 

But there will be no drop in 

excitement as the league will 

continue to draw high energy 

from intense rivalries and 

very consistent programs 

Lisbon: Coach Bill Reed is currently engineering 

the most wide-ranging rebuilding project 

in his distinguished tenure over the 

Golden Knight program. The Knights went 13- 

1 (15-1-2 overall) last fall to win their program’s 

ninth NAC West title in 11 years, but 

seven starters graduated including five All- 

NAC selections in Mike McDonell, Scott Lawton, 

Eric Mehaffy, Nolan Fletcher and the NAC 

West Defensive MVP in Dan Vallance. 

Coach Reed has been very pleased at the 

way the current Knights have approached the 

challenges ahead following the tone set by 

team leaders in senior striker Kyle Binion (5 

goals, 7 assists last season) senior striker-center 

midfielder Andy Martin (5 goals 4 assists 

last season), junior center midfielder Adam 

Felt and sophomore goalie Jim Robinson. 

“We have some very skilled players to lead 

us and the whole team has been working very 

hard. We have been having double practices 

and everyone is really buying into it. There is a 

lot of competition for starting spots which will 

continue,” said Coach Reed. 

“I think by the middle of the season, we will 

show a very big improvement. Our league and 

Section 10 Class D soccer as a whole will be 

very tough once again.” 

Binion and Martin are part of a senior class 

which includes: Nevin LaRock who looks to set 

the tone for toughness on defense at sweeper, 

Ryan Norman (stopper) and Dylan Crawford 

(midfield). Felt (2 goals, 2 assists), who is the 

only returning starter in the midfield, heads a 

junior class which also includes: James Darcy 

(midfield), Chris Measheaw (defense), Matt 

Snyder (defense-midfielder), Matt Willard 

(defense) and Eric Richards (striker). 

Robinson heads a sophomore group which 

includes Jake Putney (midfield), Ryan Buckley 

(defense), John Hunter (defense), Cody James 

(midfield), Colin Smith (midfield) and Colin 

Fields (forward). A very promising eighth 

grader in midfielder Adam Kelley rounds out 

the team. 

Heuvelton: Last year, coach David Steele’s 

Bulldogs (7-8-2, 6-6-2 NAC West) went through 

some major growing pains having to replace 11 

seniors including nine starters. This season, 

much of last year’s roster returns but Steele 

will have to fill three major holes left by the 

departure of goalie Jon Cooper, top defender 

Trevor Brothers and David Putman. 

“We are very strong with our returning 

juniors and sophomores who played last season. 

They’re working hard to learn a new system of 

play,” said Steele. 

Two of those returners are junior forward 

Aaron Cobb who scored 14 goals last season 

and honed his skills this summer playing for 

the FC Freeze program out of Canton, and John 

Sloan (junior, forward, 3g in 2010) who also 

played in Coach Bob Durocher’s program. 

“Both Jon and Aaron have improved and 

developed over the summer. And Jack Tennant 

also played this summer. We are looking to 

Lucas Brown, Chris Power and Jacob St. Pierre 

Rebuilding will be the theme for Northern Athletic Conference 

West Division Girls Soccer this season - starting with 

defending champion Heuvelton which reached the Section 10 

Class D finals last fall. 

Heuvelton: Coach Gus Burns must replace six seniors from last year’s NAC West Championship 

team (16-1-2, 13-0-1 West) including West League Defensive MVP Linsay Tennant and 

Sara Sloan, Jenna Lashua, Morgan McAdam, Danielle Tani, Kaitlyn Pierce. 

“Everyv one of those girls was a very good athlete, so we have some big holes to fill,” said 

Coach Burns. 

“We have some nice young players who are learning quickly the style and speed of play at the 

varsity level from modified. So we will make some mistakes along the way, but I think we’ll have 

a competitive team.” 

NAC West Co-Offensive MVP senior Emilie Ross returns after scoring 15 goals and the team’s 

second and third leading scorers in sophomore forward Alexis Weidner (eight goals) and sophomore 

forward-halfback Logan Tallman (seven goals) also return. Coach Burns also has senior 

halfback Aliza Armstrong (four goals) back along with senior classmates Kellie Hebert (FB) and 

Shicara Legault (HB-FB), juniors Abbey Basford (For./HB), Ashlyn Piercey (Mid-FB), Sanna 

Jaquith (Goalie), and Elizabeth Schneller (HB) and sophomore Maddie St. Pierre (HB-FB). 

Promising newcomers are sophomores: Rachel Thornhill, Macy Richardson, Shelby Williams, 

Johanna Carmany, Alexis Sawyer, and Ashlyn Foster; freshmen Kylie Piercey and Olivia St. 

Pierre, and talented eighth grader Hannah Thornhill. 

Lisbon: Coach Scott Richardson begins his second year at the helm of the Knights but has a 

major task ahead of replacing nine seniors, including first team All NAC Taylor Amo (1g, 3a), second 

team All NAC and leading scorer Aleashia Parmeter (8 g), Taylor Armstrong (4g), second 

team All NAC sweeper Patricia Crossett and NAC Sportsmanship award winner Jaclyn Moore. 

“We lost several good players. Our strength will be the return of four seniors,” said Richardson, 

speaking of defenders Allison Crowley and Colleen Hammond, midfielder Sarah Bodwell and 

forward Allison Akins. 

“We need Allison and Colleen to step up their defensive efforts. And Sarah is a solid midfielder. 

Alison (Akins) will be changing her position from defense to offense and hopefully she can 

quickly adapt,” said Richardson. 

Sophomore striker Beth Crowley generated five goals and six assists in 2010 while junior midfielder 

Gabby Walker also showed the ability to score in 2010, tallying a goal and logging three 

assists. 

Jackie Sovie showed excellent poise last season as a freshman goalie. Also returning are 

Megan Barney (Soph. Mid), Maeve Bowdish (Soph. FB), Emily Dishaw (Jr. Mid), Chelsea Duprey 

(Jr. Mid), Hannah Richardson (Soph. For), and Holly Williams (Soph. FB). 

Newcomers include: Alex Amo (Fr. For), Morgan Baldock (Soph. FB), Kayla Bresett (Soph. 

For), Aneissa Fields (Fr. Mid), Alyshia Murray (Fr. Mid), Nicole Neadom (Soph. FB), Lindsay Remington 

(Soph. Mid), Jamie Skiff (Soph. FB), Maddison Vine (8th. For), McKenna Vote (Soph. FB), 

Kristin Warner (Soph. FB). 

“We just need to continue to build on our positives from last season,” added Richardson. 

Hermon-DeKalb: Coach Jan Merchant begins his second season at the helm at H-D after a 

6-4-4 NAC West, 8-6-4 overall season. 

But Coach Merchant must replace two of his leading scorers in Rochelle Whitton (12 goals) 

and Kaylee O’Donnell (nine goals). 

“We only lost three players due to graduation, but they were cornerstones of the team. This 

year, however, we have a lot of experienced seniors who should be hungry to step up into those 

high-pressure roles. We expect to be a tough team to play against.” 

Sophomore forward Kasey O’Donnell (four goals), senior fullback Franchesca Trombley (three 

goals), senior forward Jocelyn Moulton (three goals) and senior forward Courtney White (two 

goals) showed the ability to score last fall. 

Senior fullbacks Brianna Sayer and Kelly Williams and senior goalies/fullbacks Chelsea 

Streeter and Thanisha Scales anchor the defense. 

Other members of the team are seniors Mariah Harris (HB), Amber Bogart (FB), Paige Morrill 

(HB), Brittany Rust (HB); juniors Margo Barney (FB), Kelsey Cleveland (FB), Taylor Morrill 

(FB), Abigail Mott (For), and Sadie Smith (FB), and sophomores Rhys Bryant (HB) and Courtney 

Harrington (FB). 

Hammond: Coach Shawn Dack believes his team came build off last years 4-10 NAC West, 5- 

11 overall mark. 

to step in and play goalie for us,” Steele added. 

Brown is a sophomore while Power will also 

play defense. St. Pierre played well last season 

in the defensive end as a junior while Tennant 

is a quick forward. 

Cody McCormick, who made the switch to 

soccer last fall after playing football, is a solid 

senior defender while Connor Pierce scored two 

goals and posted six assists and will be counted 

on to produce better numbers as a senior midfielder. 

Other notable returners are: Matt Guardino 

(Jr. FB), Michael Guardino (Jr. Mid), Cody Holland 

(Jr. FB), Dedrick Johnson (Jr. Mid), Dylan 

Liscum (Soph. FB), and Nathan Robinson (Jr. 

FB). Newcomers include: Jeffrey Arquitt (Soph. 

For), Tyler Bushey (Sr. FB), Jack Palmer (Soph. 

Mid), Reilly Pierce (Soph. FB), Aidan Scagel 

(Soph. For), and Eric Stewart (Jr. FB). 

“The team is a year older and maturing in 

the right direction to be very competitive in a 

strong, competitive league,” added Steele. 

Morristown: Coach Mike Roberts hopes his 

Rockets are ready to take it to the next level. 

After a 4-13 overall, 3-11 NAC West campaign, 

Coach Roberts returns his entire 

defense, but must replace leading scorer Jeff 

King (12 goals) along with Josh Young, Brandon 

Paquette, Matt Sherry and Alex Gagnon. 

“Jeff’s graduation put a big hole in the 

entire athletic program. But we have a good 

core of players who have the ability to perform, 

Defensively, we’ve got a good group back,” said 

Roberts. 

Nine players return including junior striker 

Dakota Marshall (six goals) and senior winger 

Kellas Lowery (two goals). Other returners are 

Alex Colby (Sr. Goalie, FB), Dillon Brenno (Sr. 

HB), Skyler Cobb (Jr. FB), Scott Palmer (Sr. 

FB/Mid), Aaron Stout (Jr. FB), Geoff Baldwin 

(Sr. FB/Goalie), Mike Tuper (Sr. FB), and Dalton 

Hersey (Jr. HB/FB). 

Bobby Simmons, a talented baseball and 

basketball standout, highlights the newcomers 

as a junior wing. Chris Perretta, a winger, 

also is new as a junior along with senior fullback 

Aaron Wells and freshman halfback 

Devin Dulmage. Zach Kanaly has also been 

working with the varsity but may move down 

to modified. 

Hermon-DeKalb: Coach Milt Bessette 

returns to the Demons after an one-year hiatus 

and must replace leading scorer Logan 

Allen (15 goals) and third leading scorer Connor 

Whitton (nine goals). 

“Our early weakness may be the loss of 

strong players from last year,” said Bessette 

who also must replace starters Logan Brabaw 

and Josh Southwell who helped the Demons 

reach the Section 10 Class D finals. 

“We do return eight players from last 

year’s 14-4-1 (11-3 West) team along with a 

strong group of newcomers. Our team speed 

will be a strength but with last year’s losses 

we will be making a few adjustments in 

player positions. We have players who are 

capable of filling these positions, it’s just of a 

matter of these players gaining experience,” 

said Bessette. 

Dylan Amo is back to anchor the attack 

after scoring 11 goals last year. Macauley 

Snell also produced last season with four

“We have a young group still but we have more experience now. Hopefully, we can continue

rounds out the team as a freshman. 

Clifton-Fine: Coach Bob Lachut will be rebuilding his program after a 7-7 NAC West, 8- 

8-1 season after the graduation six-year starter Emily Lachut (13 goals), Ashley White (four

Jacob Bresett, Darrin Raglin, Ben Heirholzer,

“We lost mostly forwards but our defense 

is intact. We’ve got solid players returning 

and with no modified team this season we have 

brought up some freshman who need to quickly 

adapt,” said Dillon-Bennett. 

Returning this season from last year’s 3-15 

team are: seniors David Matthews (sweeper), 

Colton Tate (FB/Goalie), Tom Hollister (FB),

Harrisville: Coach Shane Countryman 

begins his second season at the helm of the

starters and add depth after going 8-5-1 last 

year. 

“Our strength is our defense with the 

return of junior forward Joey Butts, senior 

defender Jason Ripley and senior goalie Wayne 

Best. We are hoping to be better at ball posession 

this season,” said Countryman who is looking 

to replace three key starters in Server 

Mustafev, Adrian Fraser, and Jason Thomas.

was an All NAC goalie. Rounding out the 

Pirates this season are Nick Weir (Jr. FB),

Evan Popham, Cole Tristram, Paul Harris, 

Devyn Moore , Everett Dowling, Broc McCarger,

Robert Cushing and Dustin Sovie. 

“That group was very solid. But I’m confident 

because we have two excellent strikers 

and two solid center-halfs with excellent speed. 

Defensively, we lack experience.” 

Newcomer Brady Hayden (Sr. C-Mid) 

returns to the district from Gouverneur and has 

the ability to replace Evan Popham, as the leading 

scorer for the Eagles who went 3-11-0 last 

year.

Lumberjacks Focused On Peaking For D Playoffs 

By CAP CAREY 

TUPPER LAKE - If all goes as planned for the 

Tupper Lake football team it should look at lot 

like it did last season. 

The Lumberjacks were 4-5 last year, but were 

0-2 in the Class D division of the Northern Football 

Conference. 

“We look at a .500 season as being our goal,” 

Lumberjacks coach Dennis Klossner said. “We 

always want to beat the teams we feel we can. 

Our two main games will be Moriah and Ticonderoga, 

because that’s who we’re playing for the 

Class D playoffs.” 

Tupper Lake got off to a rough start last year, 

losing three of its first four games, capped by a 

55-0 blowout loss to Saranac Lake. 

But the Lumberjacks rebounded and won three

of their last four regular-season games, before losing 

27-7 to Ticonderoga in the Class D playoffs. 

This season could look similar for Tupper Lake, 

which seems to play most of the bigger schools 

early in the year before closing out the season 

playing schools closer to its size. 

One of the leaders of the offense this year will 

be senior running back Jordan Garrow, who finished 

with 728 yards rushing last year and five 

touchdowns. He averaged 5.4 yards-per carry and 

80.9-per game. 

Garrow was not supposed to be the feature 

back, but senior Josh Facteau suffered a seasonending 

injury in Tupper Lake’s third game. That 

hurt the Lumberjacks last year, but gives the 

team an experienced veteran this season. 

Tupper Lake also returns its starting quarter-

back, sophomore Morgan Stevens, who threw for 

330 yards last year with three touchdowns. 

“We have some experience back on our (offensive) 

line, so we’re hoping to be able to move the 

ball,” Klossner said. “I feel we’re to the point 

where we can mix it up 50/50 with the run and 

the pass.” 

Tupper Lake’s defense allowed an average of 

26.6 points last year and 302.6 yards. 

“Our linebackers (Nick Boushie, Elliott Kerst, 

Stone Keniston and Jordan Garrow) are coming 

back and we’ll run out of a 4-4,” Klossner said. “At 

defensive line I think we might be a little 

stronger than we were last year. Tim Larkin and 

Damon Cole will play the tackles and we also 

moved up Tim Ropas, he was a strong (junior varsity) 

player and will play defensive end for us.”
