Former 4th district county legislator Judy tassone dies at 73
By ruSS tArBy Contributing Writer
Former County Legislator
Judy Tassone of Liverpool died April 9 at age 73. In August 2020, she was hospitalized with a brain aneurysm, and she suffered further setbacks this year. She retired from the Legislature in December 2020.
Named Judy Ann Hughes when she was born in Syracuse in 1952, Tassone is survived by two of her three sons and eight grandchildren.
Prior to entering politics, Tassone enjoyed a lengthy career at Niagara Mohawk.
Having won her first election in 2009 against incumbent Democrat David Stott, Tassone – a Republican – was re-elected five times, most recently in 2019

when she defeated challenger Kathy Zabinski. Tassone represented the county’s 4th Legislative District which includes the circumference of Onondaga Lake – including most of the towns of Geddes and Salina and parts of the city of Syracuse. Because of that geographic anomaly, she earned the nickname “Lady of the Lake.”
Over her 12 years as a legislator, Tassone served as chair and vice-chair of the County Facilities Committee, as a member of the Environmental Protection Committee, the Public Safety Committee and the Health Committee.
In an unexpected twist of irony, one of the most memorable moments of the Lady of the Lake’s tenure came in 2014 when she and 5th District Leg-
Sharon Fox, 82, beloved business leader, mentor and friend, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at Community
islator Kathy Rapp – both Liverpool Republicans – voted against construction of the Lakeview Amphitheater, a pet project of then County Executive Joanie Mahoney, also a Republican.
“I believed that the money spent on this project for economic development could have been spent more wisely in many other ways,” Tassone said at the time.
The Lady of the Lake had priorities that reached far beyond that shoreline.
“I think of myself as a voice of the people,” she said. “I vote the way the people want me to vote.”
Her most important accomplishment, Tassone said, was the repeated reduction of the county’s property tax rate. Tassone was married to the
General Hospital. Born in Rochester, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Hilda Manley O’Brien. Sharon was a graduate of Our Lady of Mercy High School in Rochester and attended Nazareth University. A trailblazer in the automotive indus -

try, Sharon was the president and owner of Sharon Chevrolet and a proud member of the Fox Group Dealerships. Her career was marked by an unwavering dedication to excellence and a deep commitment to those she mentored. To Sharon, her colleagues were more than just coworkers—they were family and friends. She took great pride in guiding others in their careers and celebrating their successes as her own. Her loyalty and pride in her automotive family were unmatched.
Before entering the automotive world, Sharon began her professional journey as a teacher, working at several grammar schools, including Holy Family School in Auburn. Her early years in education showcased her natural gift for leadership and her ability to inspire those around her.
Outside of her professional life, she found joy in traveling, especially spending time vacationing in Naples, Florida—her perfect place for rest and reflection.
Those who knew Sharon will remember her not only for her professional achievements but also for her warm spirit, fierce loyalty and the countless lives she touched along the way. She will be missed and lovingly remembered by her husband William Fox; her sister-inlaw, Jane Fox and by her nephews Oliver and Miles and niece Elizabeth. A private celebration of Sharon’s life will be at a later date and burial will be in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Fleming, N.Y. She was predeceased by her older brother Garrett O’Brien.

PURPOSE:
TEXT:
as an electrical power dispatcher in Reading, PA. As the power industry evolved, Michael, accompanied by his young family, relocated to Syracuse to work for Niagara Mohawk as a power trader (National Grid.)
From a young age, Michael sought a relationship with God. He became a Christian as a teenager and was a faithful member of the Church of Christ in Liverpool for over 28 years.
Michael showed his love and dedication by serving others. He spent many years leading construction service projects, renovating homes, repairing and replacing roofs and meeting various electrical needs of the congregation and community. He was particularly drawn
to teaching teenagers and young adults necessary life skills, but also, more importantly, to instilling the value of serving others. More recently, Michael was well known and loved by his friends for his encouragement and big hugs. Michael is survived by his devoted wife, Karen; his son, Benjamin, his daughter, Laura (Ryan) Sjoquist, two beloved grandsons, Caeden and Eoin Sjoquist; his sister, Jeannie Austin, brother-in-law Allen (Kiki) Clark; and several nieces and nephews.
Michael bravely fought the challenges of Huntington’s Disease (HD) for more than 25 years. Passionate about helping to find
answers, he actively participated in HD research. His final act was to donate his brain to the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center. Michael’s family and friends know his legacy of contributing to finding a cure will long outlive his time on earth.
The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Syracuse VA for the excellent care he received over the years, and most especially to Team Red. They also wish to extend a special thank you to the HDSA Center of Excellence at University of Rochester Medical Center and sincerely appreciate and thank Upstate University Hospital staff for the care he received there recently.
A Celebration of Life will be held on May 24, 2025, at the Church of Christ, 4268 Wetzel Road, Liverpool.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Michael’s memory to the Huntington’s Disease Society of America Rochester Chapter or the Church of Christ in Liverpool, NY. Leave condolences at searsmiddletonmathewson.com

Road work season
As the weather gradually improves and spring turns into summer, one thing that we will see more and more of will be road work.
From roads being repaired and repaved to work taking place on electrical lines and other utilities, it is likely this will become a common site in the coming weeks and months.
While the large bucket trucks that lift people up to work on power lines and the orange safety cones and flaggers directing traffic are very visible it is still important for drivers to stay focused and pay attention to what is going on the roads around them.
With this in mind, National Works Zone Awareness Week was created.
This effort started with a reminder for drivers to slow down when approaching work zones on roads and highways as part of National Work Zone Awareness Week. The message of the campaign reminds drivers a temporary action behind the wheel, such as driving distracted by a cellphone for example, can have long lasting consequences.
The annual commemoration, promoted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, took place April 21 to 25 and marks the start of spring construction season, according to nwzaw.org.
The onset of spring means National Grid crews will begin performing necessary infrastructure upgrades along roads, and some may require roadway work areas, including lane or shoulder closures. Observing warnings is a matter of safety for both our crews and drivers. Slowing down and paying attention to your surroundings can ensure the well-being of all involved, according to National Grid.
Struck-by incidents are a leading cause of death among construction workers and the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the construction industry. In 2021, 72 workers were killed, and 400 were injured in struck-by accidents in work zones, according to the most current data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
National Grid workers, for example, go through extensive training on work zone safety. Crews on duty in work zones or near our infrastructure wear highvisibility garments, eye protection, and hard hats.
The U.S. Department of Transportation offers the following tips for driving safely through work zones:
Plan ahead: Research your route before heading out. When possible, avoid work zones and use detours when available.
Stay focused: Keeping your eyes on the road is especially important in work zones. Note all instructions on work zone signage, including speed limits, lane changes and shifts, and any closures. Keep both hands on the wheel and off your cell phone, radio, navigation device, and food and drink.
Slow down: Many states require drivers to reduce their speed in work zones and follow the posted speeds. Drivers in Massachusetts and New York face increase fines and other penalties for speeding in a work zone.
Move into the open lane: When lanes close, move over as soon as it is safe and possible. Pay attention to your blind spot for other vehicles. Massachusetts and New York each have “move over” laws that include fines for drivers that fail to move to an open lane when stopped vehicles with flashing lights, such as utility vehicles, are at work.
Keep your distance: Rear-end collisions are very common in work zones, as cars wait until the last minute to change lanes or stop quickly. When driving, leave sufficient distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. Never cut off a bus or large commercial vehicle, like a box truck or 18-wheeler, as those vehicles require more braking distance to reach a stop.

SiNGiNG my OWN SONG
Subscription info: lori Newcomb, ext 333, lnewcomb@eaglenewsonline com
The crunching sound of boots on snow, the brisk air clearing the remnants of the night’s sleep and the distant growl and scrape of the plows combine to make a morning serenade in the valley where Marcellus has nestled through many a winter.
Ramblings from the empty nest ann Ferro
Whether the frigid sounds of winter or the more salubrious sounds of summer, the village sings its own songs, songs I have heard for most of my life. But I’ve heard other songs, too. Songs and sounds wrapped in life and experience and much love.
Someone asked me where I was from. I replied almost instantly that I was originally from Brooklyn. I was forever molded, created by family and surroundings there. I am from Brooklyn, by way of Carmel, N.Y., but firmly a resident in long standing in Marcellus. I have memories of all of these places, each one capturing a portion of my experience, carving out meaning that makes me who I am.
I remember clearly the smell of the ocean, the sound of the big ocean liners entering the narrows as they headed for the port of New York. I remember crossing under Fourth Avenue at the subway stops and walking to school some seven blocks from home, of going to church every day. My father would hand my sister Kathleen and I subway fare and instructions to go to Rockefeller Center.
“They need to learn their way around,” he would tell my fretting mother.
I hear the sound of old men cheering at the bocce games on Third Avenue and the songs of the nuns at our Lady of Perpetual Help School. There are the sounds of siblings, tucked in bed, telling stories as they fall asleep.
I can easily call forth the mythical existence we lived as teens in Carmel - bus rides to school, band practices, football and basketball games, homework projects, trips to the “city” and long-time friends.
I remember riding with my mother every day to pick my Dad up at the railroad station in Brewster - a life my father gave us with his long commute each day.
I’ve lived in Central New York since 1958. I was a scholarship student at Syracuse University before the Dome.
I’ve lived in our house on First Street since 1967. I painted, dry walled, gardened and more to make the little house ours. I brought our children to this home from Community Hospital, set forth for two weddings and the joy of four grandsons to listen now to the quiet of a house filled with two aging adults and a seven cats … maybe eight. I’m not sure. Cats sing their own songs.
There are mountains of memories of dissonant tunes and sweet melodies, of exploration, innocence and reinvention. I’ve raised
lots of money for good causes, had the unequalled privilege of teaching and taken an active part in local organizations. I have traveled, stayed home, spent glorious summers on a lake and hosted uncounted dinner parties for friends. And, of course, there are the cycles of weight gain and loss that figured (pun intended) in my biography.
For my spouse and I, we recognize that time is a thief and although we are so blessed to have our children and grandchildren, time and its minions have stolen facility and ability along with the accumulated experiences that make up a life. It is getting harder, but it is required that we do try to remember their fading melodies.
That girl who walked to school and mass every day in Brooklyn, now must use a cane to walk across the room. The energy and focus of the teenager who lived in Carmel has been modified to someone who remembers what energy and focus was like, while she is plotting how to get rid of weight that added as time subtracted.
And still, I remember the lullabies I sang to my babies and my grandchildren as they grow and I don’t.
Ann Ferro is a mother, a grandmother and a retired social studies teacher. While still figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up, she lives in Marcellus with lots of books, a spouse and a large orange cat.
iCE apprehension draws local pastor’s ire
The Rev. Garrett Anderson, pastor of Liverpool’s historic First Presbyterian Church, is disturbed by recent actions by the federal governments’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
In the church’s April newsletter, Pastor Anderson shared this story:
“Last night a lawyer told me of a local man who had no documents but who did have a wife and children (they were citizens), a job that supported them, and 20 years living in the community was arrested by ICE in his own driveway – an action that would have been seen as unlawful when other people were in power.
“The enforcement of the civil law against this man breaks the spirit of the law meant to support life – his and the community’s. It breaks the greatest law which is to love your neighbor as yourself as a way of loving God.
“Let us not confuse rule-keeping with righteousness, law-enforcement with justice, or being able to do whatever we want with freedom. The Spirit of righteousness, justice, and freedom gives life to our neighbors as well as to us. Without it we remain spiritually immature and unable to love.”

Pot shop 1st anniversary
Lower-case thc: The Herbal Center opened for business at 612 Oswego St. on the auspicious date of April 20, 2024. So on Easter Sunday, the dispensary celebrated its first-year anniversary here.
Staff are all personable and knowledgeable about their inventory.
The center offers several dozen brands of edibles at different strength levels and various flavors of gummies and the old standby, chocolate.
The shop also carries a wide array of what the staff calls “flowers,” but I call “buds.” Encased in half-cup-size clear-plastic cases, the buds are dense and dusted with silver keef crystals.
The cases can be snapped open for a sniff of the flowers’ aroma.
The Herbal Center franchise was established 16 years ago in Denver, Colo., after its owners found that flower selection there was severely lacking.
Both recreational and medical marijuana are now legal in New York. On March 31, 2021, the state passed cannabis reform with the signing of the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act.
BTW, thc stands for tetrahydrocannabinol which is the psychoactive compound that makes users absolutely euphoric.
Last word
“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If he put it here and he wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?”

I’ve asked a few older residents if they remember the two houses next to each other and they don’t.
These two pictures look they were taken in the 1930s.
In last month’s article on the Moyers Corners Keith Fryer mentioned that the house on the southwest corner was virtually identical to the brick house with a cupola on top but made out of wood. Keith’s family lived in the brick Moyers House in the 1920s and 30s. They sold
To the Editor:
refreshments and food, gas and other things in their little building out front along route 57. There are even two other gas stations on the other corners selling Shell and SOCONY gasoline plus a service center.
If you take a close look at the road signs, one says danger and the other was a warning sign of a crossroads ahead.
Another sign even says “Moyers Corners” itself about a hundred years ago. Also pictured is Moyers Corners today. If anyone remembers the two brick Moyers houses
To Mr. Edwin Theetge, Executive Director and CEO, Scouting America-Longhouse Council:
The following regards your letter on page 5 of the Feb. 5, 2025 edition of Eagle News’ From the Mailbag regarding the new organization “Scouting America.” I don’t know if you’re the person to complain about this, but here goes.
In my opinion, there is no valid reason to dismantle the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of America— two storied organizations— to form “Scouting America,” and I was disappointed to find a rationale lacking in your letter.
These two fine organizations should be left alone. Both scouting organizations have stood the test of time, as separate and distinct entities as originally configured. Melding them together serves no discernible purpose, and I therefore see no valid reason to form the new coed organization.

Following the science can only lead to one conclusion: boys and girls are different. Besides the obvious biological differences, they have different paths to traverse on the way to maturity, and these differences cannot be acknowledged, much less respected, if they are not optimized through individualization and are instead merely lumped together. God created them male and female [Matthew 19:4]. Like it or not, boys and girls are simply not interchangeable. You state that, “Since its inception in 1910 scouting has fostered values of leadership, responsibility, and community service.” Indeed it has! Why change?
Similarly, “Through hands-on activities, outdoor experiences, and mentorship, Scouting America helps cultivate teamwork, discipline, and a spirit of service to others. These qualities are vital for young people to thrive in today’s ever-changing world… .” If indeed Scouting America does
FROM THE MAILBAG
these things, I would submit the traditional scouting organizations did them better, by optimizing the experiences to align better for the sexes individually. Since 1912 girls who want to be scouts join an existing, intact, storied and perfectly serviceable organization known as the Girl Scouts. Since 1910, boys who want to be scouts similarly join Boy Scouts. Very simple! Very obvious! Why all the fuss? At the end of your missive, you offer impressive facts about the Longhouse Council, the local iteration of Scouting America, but those facts do nothing to justify doing away
with both the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts. If your submission is indeed intended to be some sort of validation for the new organization, it’s lacking in this regard. But I must say that stepping forward to lead the complex Longhouse Council is commendable in that you’re devoting your time and energy toward the betterment of today’s youth, and
in no way do I intend to demean or minimize your efforts in this regard. As I mentioned above, I don’t know if you are the progenitor of Scouting America, you may or may not have been solely responsible; but as I said, I don’t know whom else to vent to.

Her obituary summarized her contributions to our community: “Judy’s legacy is one of love, loyalty and deep connection. She will be remembered for her warmth, her courage, and the quiet poise with which she carried herself through life – and for the steady, loving presence she offered to those she held dear.”
a quiet but effective public servant
Judy Tassone is being remembered by her colleagues as a quiet but effective public servant.
“Judy was a great public servant and an even better friend,” said current 4TH District County Legislator Colleen Gunnip. “She fought on the county legislature for efficient government, reduced tax rates and improvement to government services.”
Salina Tiown Supervisor Nick Paro said “Judy’s legacy looms large, her advocacy for the taxpayers of this county is unmatched, and we would do well to strive for her standard. Judy Tassone was a fierce advocate for not only the residents of Salina, but for tax-payers across Onondaga County.”
Former deputy mayor of the village of Liverpool Christina Fadden appreciated Tasone’s tenacity. “Judy brought a refreshing perspective and tenacious service for her constituents” Fadden said. “She was not big on flowery talk, instead she stood out because she was down to earth, talked to people at their level and got things done, which is why she kept getting re-elected.”
Fifth District Legislator Deb Cody considered Tassone a legislative mentor.
“Before I took the oath of office as County Legislator, I met with Judy Tassone to prepare myself for the duties and re-
sponsibilities of serving on the legislature. I knew Judy as a fellow Salina [Republican Party] committee member and was always impressed with how direct she was in sharing her experience, advice and encouragement.”
They each admired her quiet candor.
“She would be honest about what she thought and, popular or not, she quietly stood her ground,” Fadden observed.
“People respected her for it.”
Cody agreed.
“Judy was never one to embellish or dramatize – I loved that I could count on her straight-forward and realistic insights.”
And they all remembered the Tassones – Judy and Bill – as a rather inspirational couple.
“Bill and Judy took me under their wings and guided me through my early years in politics,” Paro recalled. “Playing golf with them and visiting them on Wellesley Island was always a summer visit I anticipated. Their keen advice and encouragement was something that I always cherished.”
“When I remember Judy,” Cody said, “I will remember her with her husband, Bill. I enjoyed their dynamic together and was always entertained in their company.”

Unless you have been hitting golf balls at an indoor driving range during the Winter or simply swinging a golf club 50-100 times a day in your garage, the absolute worst thing you can do to your body and golf swing this Spring is to “grip-it-and-rip-it” on the rst tee. Oh, maybe there was a time in your life (your 20’s) when you “thought” you could get away with it. Even then, it was not a good way to start the season. I believe most golfers in CNY truly want to give themselves the best opportunity to succeed. e challenge for us is to develop a plan that includes both practicing and playing that revolves around our family, work, faith and friends. is is not easy, but you must make a sincere e ort to do it so your mind will be free to focus on your golf game rather than feeling guilty about being at the golf course instead of somewhere else you were expected to be. What is your plan to get your golf swing back to mid-season form as quickly as possible? Is it to hit 200 balls in an hour just before you tee o every time you play this spring? If it is, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Golf is challenging enough without rushing to hit 2,000 balls in 2-3 weeks without a mentor or teacher. It is a formula for calamity. If you are looking for some advice and don’t have a mentor or teacher, let’s explore what PGA Tour players do at the practice range to prepare themselves to play their best.
Golf Digest has identi ed a few traits tour players have developed that we should be aware of:
1. “It’s planned. It’s strategic.” Bryson DeChambeau says of his practice sessions. “I know what I am going to do during the week based on where I need certain things to be.” Tour players try to “pace” themselves between swings. Amateurs usually slash away aggressively and thoughtlessly with their
driver and more o en than not, acquire a blister, just before going to the rst tee.
2. Tour players work-in pitch shots between drivers in the middle of their session and gradually build back up to hitting full drivers. Stephen Jaeger, for example, does something at the end of his session that I am going to try to incorporate into mine. His last nineteen shots at the driving range include: four drives…one wedge… ve drives…one wedge…three drives…one wedge…two drives…one wedge…and one nal drive.
3. Tour players “Phase” their sessions: * Wedge focused warm-up. e average is about 60 yards for 5 shots.
* A er getting warm, they switch to swing “improvement mode with drills and feels to get their technique in order,” followed by hitting di erent shots. Ludvig Aberg does this: Shot 1-176 yds (straight)…Shot 2-179 yds (26 . to the right-fade)…Shot 3-174 yds (13 to the le -draw). Ludvig says, “ en, I always like to hit di erent shots. I hit a draw 8 iron right of the pin, a fade 7 iron le of the pin because that keeps my swing very matched up.”
Let’s get real. A PGA Tour players “Practice Plan” has nothing to do with a CNY golfers “Practice Plan”. Hitting fades and draws to pins that are various distances from the magni cent $140 Million “Masters” Driving Range the players used last weekend, is indisputably di erent than driving ranges in CNY. However, that does not mean we should ignore developing our own practical “Practice Plan” and learn from PGA Tour players. Nick Foy Golf says…“Whether you have goals of becoming a scratch golfer or breaking 100 for the rst time, there is one important element that stands between you and your goal. at element is “Practice Time.” Next week my article will be about, “How and What To Practice Golf Every Week To Shoot Your Desired Score.”

C-NS lacrosse teams get sweep of Liverpool
By PHiL BLACkWELL
Whether it was expected or not, at least for now the Cicero-North Syracuse lacrosse teams both enjoy the advantage against their rivals from Liverpool
As reigning state Class A champions the fact that the girls Northstars prevailed by a 21-4 margin over the Warriors last Tuesday afternoon at LHS Stadium was far from a surprise.
However, later that evening the fact that C-NS won 11-4 on the boys side at Bragman Stadium showed that perhaps the tide was changing away from the reigning sectional champions toward a challenger who has still never won a sectional title.
Two key factors helped the boys Northstars on this night. First it was a defense which
keyed in on Liverpool’s top scoring line, shutting out Brady Michaud and holding Danny Dunn to a single goal.
Only Chris Matott, with three goals, maintained his usual production for the Warriors, and Noah Samphler turned back most of it thanks to his eight saves.
Meanwhile, C-NS got 12 successful face-offs from Emmit Porter to set up long possessions in Liverpool’s end which resulted in plenty of goals from plenty of players.
Blake Fefee and Quinn Empey got hat tricks, with Donovan Chaney scoring twice and contributing three assists. Luke Deinhart had a goal and assist, with Adrian Sweeney and Jack Putman also converting to overcome nine saves from Andrew Gabor.
Then there was the case of the girls game where C-NS, burning from a defeat it took to
Wellesley (Massachusetts) during its trip to the Boston area the previous weekend, rebounded in a big way.
Five different Northstars would earn hat tricks against the Warriors led by Sophia Nesci, who had four goals and one assist. Elizabeth Smith, Natalie Wilson, Mia Gates and Avery Rumble all finished with three goals as Gabby Putman scored twice to go with 14 draw controls.
Eight of Liverpool’s 12 shots were stopped by C-NS goalies Jilly Howell and Allison Spoto. Bella DeRin and Ava Eicholzer combined for seven saves on the Warriors’ part as single goals went to Gianna Carbone, Maya Michaud, Maura Woods and Kara Baroody, Michaud and Maura Beckwith adding assists.
When Liverpool’s boys team tried to recuperate from its defeat against West Genesee
on Thursday afternoon it instead got overwhelmed by a high-flying Wildcats attack in a 19-10 loss.
Back in Class A after a couple of seasons in Class B, the Wildcats pulled clear with a 6-1 second-quarter surge, ultimately seeing Charlie Lockwood net seven goals as Jacob Pensabene (four goals, three assists) and Jack Wenham (three goals, four assists) equaled his production.
The Warriors could not keep up even though it had a well-balanced attack. Matott scored twice, but so did Brendan Caraher and Jake Berthoff as Brady Michaud was held to a single plus three assists. Danny Dunn, Aidan Tornabene and Tyler Donahue had one goal apiece. Gabor and teammate Trevor Smith combined for 16 saves.
Liverpool, C-NS baseball gain game experience
By PHiL BLACkWELL
This was a spring where the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool baseball teams both found their way to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina during the school break.
Liverpool’s first game at Myrtle Beach was a 9-5 defeat to Lincoln High School, with all of the Warriors’ runs coming in the third, fourth and fifth innings as it only trailed 6-5 before Lincoln got away late.
James Kelly and Chris Monahan split pitching duties, Kelly going 3 1/3 innings and Monahan 2 2/3 innings. Colin Avery was three-for-four
at the plate, Cayden Nappa adding two hits as he doubled and got two RBIs, single runs driven in by Avery, Monahan and Graham Hoppe.
Then came a 12-2 loss to CG Woodson (Virginia), a game which was tight until Woodson got three runs in the fifth inning and seven in the bottom of the sixth.
Nico Leone pitched and got the defeat, Dom Carroll seeing a stint in relief. Hoppe and Noah Bangson drove in runs as they both got hits, the other hits going to Dylan Wiggins and Michael Murphy.
After a 9-1 defeat to Chesterfield, in Wednesday’s action Liverpool fell 11-3 to Tuscarora
(Virginia), who put up runs in every inning except the first. Michael Murphy had two of the Warriors’ four hits and drove in all of the runs, one each in the first, third and fifth innings as he twice scored Nappa. Paolo Munetz pitched and took the loss.
This trip concluded Thursday with a 6-0 loss to Cherry Hill (New Jersey), who only gave up hits to Nappa and Wiggins. Monahan, pitching a second time this week, allowed four secondinning runs before Hoppe, in relief, gave up two runs in the sixth.
C-NS took the field against Fairfax (Virginia) last Tuesday afternoon and rolled to a 10-3
victory, erasing an early 1-0 deficit with multiple runs in four consecutive innings starting in the bottom of the second.
A four-run fourth provided a particular cushion as Jaden Zimmer hit his team’s only home run, earning a pair of RBIs. Shacory Williams also drove in two runs as Ben Watkins scored twice and single RBIs went to Jeremy Palmer and Carter Petranchuk.
With a five-inning stint on the mound helped by two innings in relief from Landon Cook, Kaden Kalfass picked up the victory limiting Farifax to three hits and accumulating seven strikeouts.
C-NS softball wins twice in Myrtle Beach games
By PHiL BLACkWELL
Things have not proven easy for the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool softball teams early in the 2025 season for reasons which go beyond the usual weather issues which can alter plans in April.
The Northstars gave up double-digit run totals both in its season-opening 19-12 win at Camden and, at the outset of play at the Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, fell 10-8 to Section I’s Yorktown. Against Yorktown, three different times C-NS had leads, up 3-0 through two innings, 5-3 through five innings and 8-7 through six innings. Every time Yorktown rallied, with its three-run outburst in the top of the seventh not answered.
Marissa Leone had a big day at the plate with a home run, single and five RBIs. Erica Hibbard singled, doubled and drove in two
runs, with Mia Farone adding an RBI as Paige Pangaro and Payton Bach joined Leone and Hibbard with two hits apiece.
C-NS rebounded last Tuesday to defeat Chesterfield (South Carolina) 11-2 a day later, a game that was tied 2-2 until the Northstars scored twice in the fifth inning and broke it open with six runs in the top of the sixth.
Aubrey Coyle homered, added a double and drove in four runs. Leone added two RBIs and Farone also drove in a run, while Sydney Rockwell was three-for-three with a double and scored three runs. Pitcher Kiyara Bembry blanked Chesterfield after the first inning and only allowed five hits overall.
While it snowed back home, C-NS was on the field again last Wednesday and earning a 7-3 victory over Oak Glen, another local South Carolina opponent.
Though an early 2-0 lead got away the Northstars used three runs in the top of the
fourth to go in front for good, adding a pair of seventh-inning insurance runs as Bembry struck out six in her complete-game effort.
C-NS banged out 12 hits against Oak Glen from 10 different players in its lineup. Leone and Pangaro led with two hits apiece as Leone singled, doubled and drove in two runs. Coyle got a triple and two RBIs, with single runs driven in by Pangaro, Shelby Kippen, Megan Meives and Paige Weckesser.
Back in Central New York, Liverpool just looked for any kind of momentum following an 0-2 start, and finally got it from last Thursday’s SCAC Metro Division opener when a big late-game comeback produced a 3-2 victory over West Genesee.
Having not scored a run all week, the Warriors trailed 2-0 going into the bottom of the sixth inning, contained by Wildcats pitcher Lorelai Leskoske, who kept escaping trouble throughout the early stagews.
Boys tennis Northstars get 7-0 shutout

Two matches for the Cicero-North Syracuse boys tennis team has brought about two victories without dropping a point either time.
The Northstars roared past Oswego 7-0 last Monday afternoon in its only match during the school break, a score to match what it did
By PHiL BLACkWELL
A break in the capricious spring weather meant that the Cicero-North Syracuse track and field teams could get underway last week even if it lacked some star power.
The Northstars were without Anna Eells or Kamron Ingram, two winter indoor state champions (Eells in the girls triple jump, Ingram in the boys 55-meter hurdles), plus several other top performers when it went head-tohead with Fayetteville-Manlius last Monday afternoon.
Still, C-NS had plenty of wins on both

It hasn’t taken long for the Liverpool flag football team to perhaps establish itself as the main challenger to Baldwinsville for Section III superiority. Having tied the Bees 14-14 in its April 1 season opener, the Warriors then beat Syracuse West 18-6 but then saved something quite special for last Tuesday’s game against
By PHiL BLACkWELL
Though April weather remained quite volatile, the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool girls golf teams set out on their 2025 seasons. Both C-NS sides were victorious against each of the Baldwinsville sides in last Monday afternoon’s good scoring conditions, with C-NS Blue handling B’ville Red in a 174-202 decision at Northern Pines. Chloe Tice’s ninehole score of 38 led all individuals, four ahead of the 42 from the Bees’ Peyton Kowalski. Abby Hildreth and Lauren Sisk tied for third with 45 and Aubrey Panto’s 46 was well clear of the 50 B’ville’s Kelly Nadzan posted.
against Jamesville-DeWitt in the April 7 season opener. Gavin Nguyen’s 6-3, 6-0 singles win over Ashton Smith was the only time Oswego gained a game out of singles. Mike DeGroat and Alex Kling each won 6-0, 6-0 matches over, respectively, Leonard Lin and Tyler Avalos.
Two more shutouts came in doubles, with
sides, including Anthony Johnson going 19 feet 7 inches to win the long jump and, in the triple jump, beat the field with a top attempt of 44’3 1/2”.
Johnson also was second (11.58 seconds) to the quick 10.63 of F-M’s Nick Domashenko in the 100-meter dash, Domashenko also taking the 200 and 400 sprints.
Rhett Andrews needed 4:35.91 to edge FM’s Kevin Heller (4:36.03) in the 1,600-meter run. Ben Rose took the 400-meter hurdles in a clocking of 1:09.02. Nolan Zinsmeyer was second in the 3,200-meter run in 10:39.10.
In the 4x800 relay Dominic Petrera, Tyler
Sherburne-Earlville.
All told, Liverpool netted nine touchdowns, all part of a 59-6 decision which included a program record for scoring.
This happened as Cicero-North Syracuse found itself in a defensive battle against Fayetteville-Manlius, a first-year program off to a 1-1-1 start that included a win over Oneida.
Defenses ruled this game with a single
As that went on, C-NS Green edged B’ville White 266-271, the key at the top where Sofia’s Normanly shot 61 five ahead of Bees teammates Carmela Budzich and Olivia Denny. Jillian King and Hayden Willkie both shot 68 and Allison Snell had a 69. Liverpool, meanwhile, took a 202-237 defeat to Fayetteville-Manlius White last Monday at Green Lakes. Anya McGillivray shot a 57 beating out the 58 from Della Budlong and 59 from Harper Foriero, but the Hornets swept the top four spots led by Emma Li, whose 45 was the only score under 50. In last Tuesday’s match at Hickroy Hills Liverpool fell to West Genesee 175-196. Foreiro led this time, her 43 well back of the Wildcats’
Drew Errante and Jackson Dufort blanking
Nathan Hibbert and Peyton Turner as David Duru and Cameron Walker handled Jackson Hollenbeck and Aaden Quonce.
The other two matches were each 6-0, 6-1, decisions. Joe Johnston and Evan Scott wasted little time beating Kevin Canales Reyes and Evan Scott, with Austin Forsberg and Zarin
Graham, Joe Massett and Dante Melfi tore to victory in 8:31.21, with Graham also winning the 800 in 2:04.95 and Petrera second.
Xander Provost’s shot put toss of 38’11” put him on top as, in the discus, Liam Pierce Joss tied for the top in the high jump clearing 5’4”.
On the girls side Stephanie Todd won the 100-meter dash in 12.77 seconds to Selena Moreno’s second-place 12.87 and then claimed the 200 in 26.29 beating Aaliyah McDonald’s 26.85.
Moreno emerged victorious in the long jump with a leap of 16’3 1/4” to edge the 16’2 3/4” of McDonald while her triple jump of
touchdown for each side, but neither made their conversions and, at the end, the Northsars and Hornets were even at 6-6.
Liverpool had its own game with F-M on Thursday night but had a far different result, able to move the ball with ease and ultimately score six touchdowns against the Hornets on the way to a 39-6 victory.
C-NS met Central Square that same night, and
Eliana Kent (34) and Sophia Simiele (36), while McGillivray had a 45. The 54s came from Elizabeth Cook and Alexandra Kerneklina. This happened as C-NS Blue went up against F-M Green at Green Lakes, and despite the Northstars’ good total it still lost 157-182 to the Hornets. Tice shot 39, tied for second with Erin Graves behind the low 37 from F-M Green’s Bella Fullmer. Three other Hornets were ahead of Hildreth’s 46 as Jessica Barnes shot 47 to beat Aubrey Panto’s 50 and Sisk’s 52. More matched followed on Thursday afternoon with C-NS Blue returning to Green Lakes to face F-M White and rolling past that group of Hornets 186-214. Barnes pulled away for individual honors,
Then Liverpool got two runners on base in the sixth, and Alivia Henty-Goldberg’s single cut the deficit to one before Erica Ryan, with two on, delivered a clutch double which brought home the tying and go-ahead runs. Lexi Goodfellow then worked a scoreless seventh inning for the win, having limited a potent WG lineup to single runs in the third and fifth innings and four hits overall while accumulating 12 strikeouts. All of this followed a 3-0 defeat to Chittenango last Monday where all the Warriors could manage was four hits off Bears pitcher Lauren Machan, who struck out nine. Emily Nestor had two of those hits, a single and double, the other hits going to Maya Mills and Liliana Salamida. Goodfellow pitched well,. but Chittenango used a run in the fourth inning to get in the front and two more in the sixth for a cushion, all drove in by Makenna Palko through a double and single.
Langirisi also prevailing. Big matches this week against Baldwinsville and Liverpool will test the Northstars more, with the Warriors unable to meet the Bees or Central Square last week due to wet weather as it also plays West Genesee and East Syracuse Minoa this week.
33’2” was half an inch ahead of Evaltee Palmiter’s 33’1 1/2”. Julia Arnold threw the shot put 28’5” for first place. Liverpool saw its first two meets of the season postponed by weather as it was supposed to go to Henninger April 9 and then take on F-M and PSLA Fowler at Jamesville-DeWitt.
Instead, the Warriors would debut last Saturday in the Webster Invitational and go to West Genesee Wednesday before this Saturday’s Chittenango Invitational where C-NS will also compete after facing Baldwinsville Monday amid two trips in three days to East Syracuse Minoa.
the Redhawks’ first-year status did not prevent an admirable effort – but the Northstars, by a 28-13 margin, improved its overall record to 3-1-1. All of this leads to a Saturday showdown between C-NS and Liverpool at Bragman Stadium, with the Northstars meeting Baldwinsville and Syracuse OnTech earlier in the week and the Warriors going to Oneida on Wednesday night.
her 41 a full six shots clear of the 47 from Tice. F-M White’s Katherine Parmley matched Tice, but Hildreth, Sisk and Panto all finished at 49 to add to the Northstars’ margin. When it was C-NS Green’s turn against B’ville Red on that same day and it lost 200233 at Northern Pines. King shot 55, fourth among individuals behind Kowalski (45), Amelia Hahn (49) and Kelly Nadzan (51), with Normanly and Grace DiOrio both posting totals of 59.
C-NS Blue and Liverpool faced each other this week, with the Warriors also having matches against B’ville Red and F-M Green and the Northstars taking on B’ville Red and West Genesee.
