Syracuse lacrosse

Went to the Syracuse-John Hopkins game on Saturday. Hopkins is a powerhouse every year and usually is in the Final Four. This year, both Hopkins and Syracuse were off to good starts. The 'Cuse scored 6 straight after falling behind 1-0, and cruised to a 13-8 win.

I took some pics at the game and am sharing them here...

Canisius beats Bentley, advances in playoffs

Went to the Canisius vs Bentley (from Massachusetts) Saturday night. Canisius had beaten them 4-0 the night before, so Bentley had to win this game to stay alive. The Griffins scored two goals in the second, and held on to win 2-1 to advance. Here's the article about the game along with some pics I took.

Bentley had the coolest uniforms I ever saw. They were all black and the logo, a B, was designed so that it was barely noticeable. I think the Sabres should have something similar for their third uniforms.

 

 

 

Winter scenes in Amherst

Ten fresh inches of snow hung on the trees and the brilliant sunshine made the winter scenes even more striking. Here's some pictures I took from the Amherst Bike Path, Westwood and Audubon Country Clubs along with other snow scenes...

Canisius vs Bowling Green hockey

It was the first weekend in the New Year and the NHL hockey lockout was still going full force. Where to get your hockey fix? At Buffalo State College where Canisius College was playing Bowling Green. It was an exciting game and ended up going into overtime. The game ended in a 2-2 tie. Here's some pictures I took at the game...

State high school championships in Syracuse

I took a 2 and a half hour drive to Syracuse to see the New York State championships held in the Carrier Dome on Saturday, November 24th.

Defending champion Orchard Park was upended in it's attempt to repeat on Saturday in Syracuse's Carrier Dome. New Rochelle handed the Quakers heads to them on a platter as they demolished them 34-6.

The Huguenots were able to slip past OP's defenders time and time again, making the Quakers look like they forgot how to tackle. The quarterback was both effective in the air and slipping through the defense for touchdown runs.

It was a bitter ending to a day of football. I got there in time to see the opening kickoff at noon in a game between Hoosick Falls and Hornell, in which Hoosick prevailed. In the middle game, it was Maine-Endwell outlasting Glen Falls. The night cap was supposed to be the highlight game, but it turned out to be a laughter as Orchard Park didn't show up, either on offense or defense.


I took a lot of pictures and videos of the games. Here's a link to a video I took of New Rochelle quarterback, Kahlil Edney, running outside to score an impressive touchdown.

Autumn Leaves in Williamsville

It was the last week of October and the temperature was hovering around 80 degrees. I took off a day to capture the peak of the colors in Williamsville. I went to Glen Park and Island Park to capture these photos...
