Gowanda Sports Report BY BILL PEGLOWSKI GOWANDA — The Gowanda Varsity boys basketball team opened the week Feb. 14 at North Collins. Gowanda was slow getting out of the gate, but was still only down 9-6 after the first quarter. Outscored 17-8 in the next period, Gowanda was in a 26-14 hole at halftime. North Collins’ best quarter was the third as they added 19 more to their tally. While Gowanda nearly doubled their point total in the period, they still slipped to a 45-27 deficit with one quarter left. A 24-point Gowanda effort in the final quarter narrowed the gap by eight points, but not enough to avoid a 61-51 loss. Adam Golden led Gowanda with 14 points. Going 4-for-4 from the foul line and hitting one 3-point basket, Tyler Smith was right behind with 13 points. Also in double digits, and with two 3-pointers in the game, was Quentin Centner with 10 points. The Gowanda boys closed out their regular season hosting Silver Creek. This was also Senior Night and the senior members of the team and cheer squad were recognized, along with their parents, before the game. Team

Jim Brucato at Art’s Café Acoustic Lunch Series SPRINGVILLE,NY – Art’s Cafe is kicking off regular music with “Acoustic Lunch.” Buffalo Music Hall of Famer Jim Brucato shares a soulful set of tunes every Wednesday from 11:30-1pm. With a background in jazz composition, and decades of experience on bass and guitar, Brucato is sure to please everyone with his wide range of songs. The son of a professional musician, Brucato taught himself to play guitar during the folk boom of the late 50s and early 60s after he caught
onto three-part harmonies like those found in the Kingston Trio. He attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston in the late 80s; two of his later songs were honored as “songs of the year” in the Berklee program. After playing with numerous groups in Buffalo, and even touring nationally, Brucato formed The Thirds with musician friends Charlie O’Neill and Joe Head, where he played bass. He is also a member of Billy McEwen & The Soul Invaders amongst many other
performing groups. He has taught music classes at Erie Community College for the past 13 years. Art’s Café was designed to create an intersection of food, the arts and a great community. The Café is owned by Café workers, as well local residents-turned-investors, in partnership with Springville Center for the Arts. Located at 5 E. Main Street in Springville, Art’s Café is now open Wednesday through Saturday from 9am to 4pm and serves lunch daily.
seniors were Dylan Milne, Mason Ruff, Adam Golden, John Smuda, Leon Klute and Seth Kaminiski. Cheer seniors were Charlesa Le-Tran, Abigail Rolon, Cameron Nagel, Paige Szalay, Marit Kuhne, Amna Rafique, Laila Moon, Jordyn Farner, Kaylee Baird and Madison Rosier. Lucas Brawdy said he would start some seniors who would not ordinarily be starting for Senior Night. As the game went along, it was also obvious that the team was making an extra effort to get the ball to seniors under the basket. After nearly two scoreless minutes in the first period, Silver Creek scored to go up 2-0. Just over a minute later, Gowanda finally scored. A previous Silver Creek foul shot saw them still ahead 3-2. The lead went back and forth with Gowanda working their way to a 1410 advantage. The edge closed to a single point as Silver Creek scored at the buzzer. The following successful foul shot brought the score down to 16-15 in Gowanda’s favor. With an 11-2 blitz to start the second quarter, Silver Creek moved into an eight-point lead, 26-18. Gowanda countered with a 9-5 run of their
own to close the period. The last two of those five Silver Creek points came with a single second left on the clock. Starting the third quarter with a 31-27 lead, Silver Creek extended that to 44-37 by the end of the period. By mid-fourth quarter the score was 56-43 with all six of the Gowanda points being scored by Tyler Smith. From that point, Silver Creek was able to hold on for a 63-48 final victory. Gowanda’s Quentin Centner, Tyler Smith and Adam Golden each had 10 points. As in the previous game, Smith was perfect from the foul line, hitting 2-for 2. John Ondus added eight points, including 6 points from 3-point range. For Silver Creek, Ray Cortez led the way with 30 points. Another 19 points were contributed by Shawn Kelly Jr. who had a career-high day including five 3-pointers. The Gowanda Varsity girls basketball started their week Feb. 15 at Portville. Gowanda moved into an early 8-4 lead. They would hold on for an 11-8 advantage after one quarter. Portville roared back in the second quarter, outscoring Gowanda 10-4, taking an 18-15 lead at halftime. Gowanda
