Boys Basketball Moves On

Jason Evans

The Boys Basketball Team won against their first Sectional Opponent, Chenango Forks, but lost against Seton Catholic.

Ending a seven year playoff drought, Trumansburg came up with a pivotal win against Chenango Forks, with Coach Reed describing the event as "humongous". Mark Burchell would score 19 points, with Alec Bartishevich scoring 16 and Letty McFall scoring 11. Unfortunately they could not keep steam going against a hard Seton Catholic team (17-2), loosing 72-30, with Dylan Hardesty leading the scoring at 7 points. Trumansburg ends the season with 7 wins and 11 losses as the 9th Sectional Seed.

Varsity Wrestling Wraps Up The Season

Over the week end Abel Stanton of the Varsity Wrestling team competed in the Section IV championships at Broome County Arena.

Abel went 2 and 2 for the event. A hard fought loss in overtime in the third round of wrestle backs kept Abel from placing.

The wrestling season is now over and the team and I would like to thank all of our supporters.

Thank You,
Coach Moore

Lady Raiders Wrap Up The Season

Trumansburg Basketball

The Lady Raiders finished out their regular season play at 7-9 in their league 2-4 in Div. & 7-10 overall. The ladies will pick up an extra game before going into sectional play at Odessa Montour on Feb.17^th at 7:00pm. Odessa is a very good outside shooting team this year with some very quick guards. It will be a challenge but I’m sure our defense will step up to meet that challenge. Offensively for the Raiders we have plenty of guns (Sydney H., Ali G., Kendra S., Kenjia S.) for shooting mid range jumpers while Samantha P. heats up things at the 3-point line.

Leading the pack working hard inside the paint & continuously getting stronger is Sarah M., Madeline W., Brandi sue B., & Alex L.; even on the defensive side these four are fun to watch as they fight for every rebound while getting ready to throw that quick outlet pass.

Overall it has been an exciting, emotional, and sometimes tearful – but never boring season. Over the summer the ladies plan on attending a few camps to brush up on a few skills & do some community service work as a team.

Well what more can I say… it’s been fun, and remember “ winning isn’t everything but making the effort to win is.”- Vince L.

Boys and Girls Take First Place, Sets the Bar for Competitiveness and Sportsmanship in Trumansburg

The boys’ track team competed in the Hurley/Quinney Invitational on Friday at Cornell. At the end of the night the Blue Raiders went home with the first place trophy. It was the second year in a row the boys have won the invitational. They managed to garner 85 points outdistancing the second place team from Tully by 30 points. Noteworthy performances were turned in by Tucker Randle who placed second in the high jump, Lucas Young who also placed second in the 300m, and Andrew Peterson who placed 3^rd in the 55m dash. The highlight of the evening came in the last event of the meet… the Sprint Medley Relay. The team of Charlie Woodward, Andrew Peterson, Tucker Randle, and Cody Scott took second place and set a new school record in the event. The new mark stands at 3:46.67… a full three seconds faster!!! Cody Scott ran a monster anchor leg (800m in 1:59.9) to ensure their second place finish and a school record.

The girl’s track team also competed at the Hurley Quinney Invite on Friday at Cornell. At the end of the night the Blue Raider Ladies also went home with a first place trophy and just like the boys this was their 2^nd year in a row winning the invitational. Noteworthy performances on the girls side included the “field” side for the girls as Shauna Murray (Long & Triple), Kayla Prochnow (High Jump) and Kourtney Miller (Pole Vault) continue to score in the top 6 and impress with their performances. The Highlight of the meet was a school record setting performance turned in the Distance Medley Relay team. Brianna VanSoest, Makenzi Swartwood, Katlin Shippy and Abby Prisloe shaved almost 20 seconds off the former record! Congratulations!!!

Third Place... the New First Place.

Boys Varsity Track captures third at the Finger Lakes invite Saturday, January 15th.

The boys competed in the Finger Lakes Invitational this past Saturday at Cornell. Thirty schools from Section 4 and Section 3 attended the event. The boys captured the 3^rd place trophy with a solid effort by many. Leading the way was Lucas Young who placed 3^rd in the 55m dash. He also placed 1^st in the 300m on his way to setting a new school record in the event. The new mark stands at 35.8 seconds… a full second off the old record!!! Tucker Randle also posted a 1^st place in the high jump with an effort of 5’ 10”.

Other top six finishers for the Blue Raiders included Cody Scott who took 3^rd in the 600m with a personal record of 1:25.98. He is inching closer to the school record in that event. Andrew Peterson’s jump of 20’ 3” in the long jump was good for 3^rd place and a personal best. He also placed 5^th in the 55m dash. Rounding out top six place finishers was the 1600 relay that took 4^th place. Members were Charlie Woodward, Andrew Peterson, Cody Scott, and Tucker Randle. The 800 relay missed out on 6^th place by .77 seconds. The team of Whit Ives TJ Eighmey, Cody Babcock, and David Puglisi ran extremely well… great effort!

What makes the team’s 3^rd place finish impressive is that they ran against schools of all sizes and faired quite well. The ninth and tenth graders will be in action this upcoming Saturday morning at Cortland. The meet begins at 9:00.

Tucker Randle	High Jump	1st

No Easy Baskets

Trumansburg Boys Basketball comes back from big deficit in the first half

Jason Evans

Trumansburg somehow held in the game. In the first three minutes Marathon would get three easy breakaways from steals. The Varsity Basketball team looked nervous out there.

But at some point they got their composure back. Maybe it was when Mark Burchell (15pts for the night) tied the game, went for four straight points with a layup and then two free throws shortly after, putting Trumansburg up 22 to 18. Dylan Hardesty certainly had a good game- he would put up a three pointer five minutes left in the game to put Trumansburg up 10, to 42-32. Riley Edmonds had numerous offensive rebounds, most of them in the midst of heavy traffic. The rest of the game seemed like free throws after that, and the final score- 58 to 54- doesn't reflect how close of a game this was.

Now 4-7, Trumansburg will visit Groton today, Tuesday, January 18th. Games start at 5:30!

The girls won at Trumansburg Tuesday, playing a really good game with good teamwork. Defense was the major key in this game, capitalizing on rebounds and taking advantage of fast breaks.

Boys end the winning drought, JV Girls Win Consolation Game

Article by Jason Evans

December is often most looked forward to by its long break and holidays. Finally, a time for all of us students to relax!

But the Trumansburg Basketball teams were hard at work in numerous holiday tournaments throughout the Finger Lakes. The Boys travelled to Lansing for the Fred Caliel Boys Holiday Basketball Tournament, while the Girls stayed at home to host their own.

The biggest news was the Trumansburg Boys Varsity Basketball team ending their loosing streak- a big one- AND taking the tournament by storm, coming out as the winners by defeating Lansing 51-41, and Whitney Point 38-33.

The Trumansburg Girls Basketball teams did well too- the JV team lost their first match, but won the consolation game against Dryden. The JV tournament champions would be Groton, winning 40-15 against Dryden.

Matt Taves, Trumansburg Athletic Director, had this to say about the Girls Varsity Tourney:

"The Tburg Holiday Classic Varsity Girls Basketball Champions for the
2010-11 season are the Dryden Lions defeating the Groton Indians 44 - 41
in a tough exciting game. There were over ten lead changes in the last 5
minutes and the game was fast paced and action packed.

The Tburg Holiday Classic Consolation winner was Newark Valley defeating
our Tburg Lady Raiders 56 - 51 in a hard fought exciting game. The Lady
Raiders received 6 points in the last 10 seconds to cut the lead to 3
points (51 - 54) but they had to foul Newark Valley to try
and keep the game alive. The Newark Valley player calmly sank her
free throws and our Lady Raiders simply ran out of time.

The Trumansburg Athletic Department would like to thank Newark Valley,
Dryden and Groton for attending our Holiday Classic Girls Basketball
Tournament and making it such a successful event. We would like to
extend a special congratulations to our JV Champion, the Groton Indians,
and to our Varsity Champions the Dryden Lady Lions. The Tburg Holiday
Classic witnessed some exciting, close, hard fought games and we could
not be any prouder of the quality and caliber of the games but also of
the good sportsmanship exuded by all the players, coaches, students,
parents, and fans.

The 1st Team Selection of the T-burg Holiday Classic is:

1 - Angela Halliday (G) #22 - Newark Valley
2 - Shelby Warner (G) #21 - Groton
3 - Sydney Hayward (Fwd) #4 - Tburg
4 - Laura Streeter (Fwd) #15 - Dryden
5 - Brooke Thompson (Fwd) #12 - Dryden"

Trumansburg would like to extend a thanks to all teams and fans that attended the Holiday Tournaments that took place. As with any sport, without support from all fans, parents and players from all regions, this event would not have taken place!

3rd Annual Shop and Play a Success!!

On Saturday night the baseball and volleyball teams hosted the 3^rd annual Shop and Play. From 4:00-8:00 parents used this free service for 71 children to enjoy the activities offered in the gym and several classrooms. Face painting, crafts, board games, Wii games, Dance Dance Revolution, the bounce house, basketball and movies “The Polar Express” and “Toy Story 3” helped the 4 hours to pass by quickly. At 6:00 everyone enjoyed pizza and lemonade before returning to full speed fun. It was amazing to see how much fun both the young ones and the high school athletes had throughout the evening.

This is definitely a community service project that has been warmly received by the community and enjoyable for us to offer. Coaches Angela McLennan, Scott Miller, Jason Hodge, Scott Voorhees and Michael Flood are proud of the athletes and thankful to the Sports’ Boosters for sponsoring the evening. We also thank Pat and Jeff for donating the bounce house, Rent-A-Flick for donating the use of “Toy Story 3” and Shur Save for helping provide the pizzas. We also appreciate Betty Jean for being so helpful and the teachers (Mr. Radley and Mrs. Kucerak) whose rooms we used for some of the activities as well as Mrs. Voorhees for helping clean up. Great job by all!

JV Basketball- Fatigue, Defense Take a Toll.

The Blue Raider JV Boys Basketball team lost a close game on Friday night to Moravia by a score of 37 to 44. After a strong defensive first half the Blue Raiders lead 19 to 13 at halftime. The Blue Raiders struggled early in the third quarter but were able to tie the game at 26 going into the 4^th. Unfortunately, fatigue and defensive break downs cost the Blue Raiders a shot at their first victory of the season. A Freshman, Santi Martin-Sanchez, lead the blue raiders in scoring with 12 points with 7 points coming from Freshman Mitchell Swartwood and 6 points from Freshman Dylan Mosher. The Blue Raiders do not play again until December 29^th in a holiday tournament against Lansing at Lansing High School. The tip is set for 3:00PM.

Ali Grunder is the Ithaca Journals Athlete of the Week

Through her perserverance in basketball, to the support she gives her team to perservere, our own Ali Grunder is the Ithaca Journals Athlete of the week! Congratulations!

The Journals reasons were straightforward- her scoring prowess. In the last two games she has averaged 25 points. Not only is Ali an excellent basketball player, but she is also a talented soccer player, being one of the top scorers on the Varsity soccer team.

Girls Varsity Pulls Away, Despite Turnovers

Now 3-1, Trumansburg looks to play Moravia Friday

Despite having nearly 50 turnovers, the Lady Raiders kept hitting the boards hard. With Sydney Hayward and Ali Grunder putting up a combined 26 points, and Maddie White (who is on the front cover of the Ithaca Journal, I may add) along with Sarah Mount putting up a combined 21 rebounds, the Girls Basketball team powered through a rough game. Southern Cayuga also experienced a rough game as well, with 37 turnovers. Southern Cayuga's coach would go on to describe the turnovers to the Ithaca Journal as "pretty ugly".

Effort would prevail however, with Trumansburg pulling away with a 43-29 win.

Maddie White, below, would have a combined 14 rebounds.

Sydney Hayward, above, shooting for two.

Congrats to the girls varsity basketball team in defeating Southern Cayuga Tuesday night. Maddie White pulled down 14 rebounds, followed by Sarah Mount with 9. Ali Grunder and Sydney Hayward shared the scoring spotlight. A great game was played by all, despite some feeling under the weather due to colds. The girls are now 4-1, Friday we travel to Moravia to take on the undefeated Blue Devils-it should be a great match up.

The team then recorded a second-place finish at the I.A.C. Championships and were runners-up Sectionals as well. Cody Scott, Tyler Sutherland and Nate Stevenson all earned Divisional All-Star status, while Ty Sutherland was named a first team I.A.C. All Star.

Coach Clifford was very pleased with Nate’s performance, commenting that, “Nate is a physically strong kid, and the difficult course suited him. He ran an aggressive, yet controlled race, and passed several people on the steepest part of the course. It was an impressive performance for his first trip to States”.

Congratulations on your successful season, TBXC!

-Coach Clifford

Brianna VanSoest capped off a stellar cross country season with a great run at the NYSPHSAA cross country championships at Pawling’s Lakeside Park.

Fast paced was the name of Saturdays game. Possession was held equally for both teams, with Trumansburg utilizing a gap in the center while Oneonta played forward launch balls more. The Trumansburg defense, held by Captains Seth Lutter, Phil Brown and Junior Alec Bartishevich, dominated the sides of the field as well as minimizing shots.

Too Close for Comfort

Boys Soccer trumps Watkins in a 1-0 win

Only three minutes were left on the clock in the second half when the first goal would be scored. It would be Jannik Heye on a short spin move that would find the back of the net for Trumansburg, one of thirteen shots taken by the Trumansburg Blue Raiders.

Our own Abreham Kittel takes a shot from the 18

Both teams played an exceptionally good game, with generally equal possession by both teams. The difference, according to Watkins Coach Henry Ferguson, was finishing. "We did everything well except put the ball in the net."

The Raiders however put up a hard act in the defense, with Phil Brown, Alec Bartishevich and Seth Lutter shutting down all of Watkins attacks early. The focus was on Watkins player Ian Andersen, who had scored a goal in the IAC Championship game previously against Trumansburg. Shutting down passing outlets, minimizing shots and keeping pressure up top on Watkins defense were the cards Trumansburg played.

Another Trumansburg focus, using the width, also contributed towards stretching Watkins defense. Numerous runs by Jannik Heye and excellent positioning by Alec Bartishevich and Danny Stewart opened up the center of the field, clearing some of Watkins congestion. Numerous times overlapping runs and one-twos were given near the sidelines to move the ball up the field, working efficiently.

The Trumansburg Boys Soccer Team (2nd seed) will go on to play Oneonta (1st seed) Saturday, November 6th at the Oneonta Hall of Fame. Specific times have not been given yet. A BIG thanks must go out to our fans, who shall always be held with great appreciation!

Great Start, Sweet Finish

Trumansburg's Girls Soccer Team Defeats the Wolves 4-0

The easiest of games to play often start with a quick breakaway, a quick goal, a good start or simply an easy opponent. But despite a quick goal scored within the first minute, the game was closer than numbers may suggest. Two great teams, Trumansburg (8th seed) and Waverly (9th seed) played a great game last night that has the Girls Varsity Soccer Team advancing to play 1st- ranked Oneonta this Saturday at 3:30 pm.

Karissa Zaharis scored 49 seconds into the game off of a cross by Senior Shelby Hallman, putting the Raiders up 1-0. But Waverly put the pressure on the Trumansburg defense during the first half, who contained and didn't allow any shots.

Trumansburg would be on the attack once again in the second half, scoring within the first 10 minutes as Senior Livia Farina-Geiger scored off of an offensive rebound in the 47th minute. Senior Ashley Reynolds and Junior Ali Grunder would score late in the game.

JV Girls Soccer Winds Down the Season with a 1-0 Win Over South Seneca

The JV Girls soccer team finished there season with a thrilling 1-0 win over South Seneca Thursday evening. The game was incredibly close throughout and each team played with a lot of determination.

The first half saw opportunities for both teams with possession about even between the two. With about five minutes left in the first half Trumansburg was awarded a direct kick just out side of the penalty box. Midfielder Abby VanSoest took the kick and perfectly placed the shot past the wall and into the side netting giving Trumansburg a one goal lead it wouldn’t relinquish. It was not easy for the Raiders to hold the lead because South Seneca came out in the second half extremely aggressive. South Seneca dominated on shots taken but keeper Vicki Wright continually made saves to keep Trumansburg ahead.

Hannah Murphy led the defense that bent but did break to preserve the one goal lead. The girls won the game with a total team effort to finish the season with a 4-3-1 record.

Boys Varsity Soccer Defeats Longtime Rivals Lansing 2-0

An amazing goal to defeat, and a goal to secure the win sets Trumansburg up for a match against Watkins Glen in Ithaca on Saturday, October 23rd

Not even the beautiful weather could have contrasted the rivalry that existed between Lansing and Trumansburg. The Lansing Bobcats (13-2) and Trumansburg Blue Raiders (14-1) had both had stellar seasons, forfeiting one loss only to each other during the regular season.

The game began with a rough start, with a loss of possession by Trumansburg early after the kick-off. Energy was high however and Lansing was kept on their toes by an early shot by Jannik Heyes, with good possession by the Blue Raiders. Lansing had few scoring chances in the first but were able to lock the ball in Trumansburg's half numerous times, with good possession of the ball and control down the sidelines.

Lansing came out with numerous scoring chances in the second half, with some dangerous shots coming from center field and aggressive play in the mid-field. Some amazing saves by Keeper Zach Taber, who was probably most busiest of the season during this game, kept the score deadlocked at 0. Trumansburg would not give up however, and in the last 10 minutes Trumansburg played in its prefecture- With approximately 3 minutes left in the last half, Jannik Heyes scored off a short cross played by Justin Bozeman.

Two minutes later Lansing keeper Benji Parks would come out of the keepers box to stop a rush attack by Trumansburg, kicking the ball out to mid-center field where Justin Bozeman two-touched the ball into Lansing's net, more than 30 yards out.

Both teams played a great game, with Trumansburg finding the ability to finish the ball by putting it in the net. Maybe most obvious to another Trumansburg Player however was the fact that we played as a team and supported each other, not getting frustrated with each other and playing the game we all love.

A big thanks must be sent out to all the fans that came out to support us. With what has been described as the biggest show of support for a Trumansburg sport in three years, words cannot describe our appreciation.

Girls JV Soccer takes on END

The Trumansburg JV Girls Soccer team lost 3-2 to Elmira Notre Dame. The
girls went down early but off of a deflected shot. That wake up call
sent the girls on the offensive led by strong performance by players off
the bench. Soon after the girls evened the score at 1-1 with a goal
from Blythe Gurche. Unfortunately the girls fell behind yet again after
Elmira scored off a free kick that hit the upper 90 just before the
half. Trumansburg came out energized after half and was hungry to score
but fell further behind after another amazing free kick goal from END
just outside the penalty box. Sophie Melvin, Mollie Seamon, and Tori
Coon led an aggressive defense that helped keep us in the game and
numerous chances were created from great midfield play by Emily Stranger
and Sarah Murphy. Vicki Wright moved the ball extremely well from

for the majority of the second half and after a blistering shot by Abby
VanSoest Sarah Murphy was able to finish the rebound putting the score
to 3-2. Trumansburg created many scoring opportunities and corner kicks

Girls Varsity Soccer Continues to Set the Bar, beating longtime stalwart Dryden

The girls traveled to Dryden to play them under the lights. The teams were very evenly matched, however Dryden was finally able to find the back of the net with 4 and a half minutes remaining in the first half. Going into half time, we discussed ways to break down the Dryden defensive unit and to the credit of great ball movement, quality first touches and speed we found the net 16 seconds into the second half to tie the score. Ali Grunder sent a beautiful ball through the 18, splitting Dryden's center defenders and Jordan Trudell one timed a shot into the far right corner of the net.

An identical goal was scored 3 minutes later by Jordan from Ali. This put all the momentum on our side for the remainder of the half. Even when Dryden tied things up with 13 minutes left in the second we did not stop testing the goal keeper.

We had 17 shots, most coming in the second half, taken by Megan Austen, Shelby Hallman, Jordan Trudell, Ali Grunder, Karissa Zaharis, Alex Lockwood and Livia Farina-Geiger.Many were on target, hitting the crossbar or going just wide. Finally Jordan completed her hat trick when she finished a cross from Shelby Hallman with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Our defense played an outstanding game. Shannon Weber made 10 saves. All 19 Lady Raiders contributed to our win over Dryden. This is the first time that we have beaten this team in three years.

JV Girls Soccer Vs. Notre Dame

The JV Girls Soccer team lost 1-0 to Elmira Notre Dame Thursday evening. The girls struggled to maintain possession for the first 20 minutes of the first half but after that the game started to open up and both teams threatened with some scoring chances. In the second half Trumansburg began to dominate possession. The Trumansburg defense led by Janelle Stewart and Hannah Murphy helped contain END for most of the half but a quick counterattack led to a goal for END with 20 minutes left in the game. Trumansburg pushed hard to even the score with dangerous crosses served in front of the goal by the forwards and midfielders. In the end Trumansburg tallied 13 shots but fell short 1-0. The girls look to bounce back against at Whitney Point next Thursday.

Lansing answered this goal ten minutes later. The score was tied heading into half time. Lansing came out looking stronger in the second half and finished an early goal. Their final goal came with 13:36 left to play. Tburg defenders played a strong game. Shannon Weber had 12 saves. Livia Farina-Geiger, Ashley Reynolds and Abby Prisloe played with greater pressure than they have seen so far this year and each had a strong game in the center mid. Megan Austen, Shelby Hallman, and Esperanza Shenstone worked hard in the outside mid and were crucial part of our defense and transition play.

Amazing Night! Last night was state qualifiers in Vestal. I would like to explain a little about this meet. There are two divisions that exist in Section IV. Division 2 in which we fall have all schools with 599 students or less, a total of 52 teams and division one has the largest schools in the section, 8 total. An athlete has to win their division or one extra person from either division can meet a standard to go to the state meet. It is an honor to have one person or relay team make it, we had the following

Friday, May 21

All year long the girls varsity track team would finish each meet trying to run as many 4x400 relays as possible; everyone on the team ran on the 4x4 at some point. Sometimes they would run 6 or 7 teams of 4x4 relays to finish a league meet. It was something of a curiosity to other teams as the Raiders lined up almost everyone on the team of 50+ for the relay event. The 4x4 is the last event and a meet usually "all comes down to the 4x4 relay" - that is what Jack Reed (former Tburg Coaching legend) used to say. Never were those words so true, as on Friday night under the lights at Dryden. The IAC Overall Championship was on the line. Newark Valley lead by 2.5 points. It really did "all come down to the 4x4! "

The boys track team did a great job this past Thursday and Friday to win the IAC Championship. The boys really stepped up to earn their first IAC Championship in nine years. There were so many great performances by everyone that participated. Some of the standout performances were the following. Brennan Edmonds won the 400 meter run with a time of 50.6 and then placed 3^rd with a long jump of 21 feet 5 inches on day one. Then on day two Brennan continued to show he is one of the better athletes in the Section. He ran the 400 hurdles with one of the fastest reported times in the section (55.67) and he won triple jump with a 43 feet 10 inches which is also the small school leading jump.

Tucker Randle won the high jump with a jump of 6’4”. The 400 relay team won with a time of 44.69. This team included Andrew Peterson, Tucker Randle, Greg Addicott.

There were so many other gentlemen that placed second through sixth to help secure the win over Dryden by twenty-three points. They really did a terrific job beating all 18 schools in the IAC. We will be competing for the sectional championship this Thursday at Marathon.

The varsity girls track and field team traveled to Tully for the Friday Night Light's Invitational on May 14th. There were lots of whispers and hushed voices during the meet, most of which asked "who are those fast girls" or "where is the "T" from - I know Tully is not blue and gold". Those questions were asked many times as the Raiders won several events in convincing fashion against some of the best track schools in section 5 and section 3.
