Spinning sweet success
By Rob Jonas jonasr@spotlightnews.com Just think of it - four consecutive state championships. For a vast majority of high school sports programs, just getting one state title is a monumental feat. For the Jamesville-DeWitt boys basketball team, though, it was just the starting point toward something much larger. And now the Red Rams join Amityvile (2000-03) as the only boys basketball program in New York with four in a row, joining that elite company Sunday afternoon at Glens Falls Civic Center with a 66-51 victory over Harborfield, from Long Island. “It means everything to us because this is what we’ve worked for all season,” said junior forward Tyler Cavanaugh. “It never gets old,” said J-D coach Bob McKenney. “It’s an honor to come up here, and it’s an honor to be mentioned in the same breath as Amityville.” McKenney made history of his own, too. He became the first coach to win five state public school titles since the tournament began in 1981. Mount Vernon’s Bob Cimmino became the second a couple of hours later after the Knights defeated Jamestown in the Class AA championship game.
