The Garden City High School Varsity Rifle team, the only co-ed varsity team in the High School, capped off another great year by sending two of its members to the Nassau County Championships: Madison Matarazzo and Kat Jushchenko. Kat shot a score of 188 out of 200, the highest score of the team’s season, and Madison shot a score of 160 out of 200.

Under the coaching of Mrs. Dubuke, the team received the Alex Baldwin Award for Most Improved Team. Kat Jushchenko received awards for her seasonal high average, as well as her placement in the annual coaches tournament. In addition to Madison and Kat, the other team members are Bradley Bostrom, Giuseppe Schettino and Joseph Pieraccini.

The five members of the GCHS Rifle team compete against seven other schools in Nassau County during the winter sports season. The team members practice five days a week at the Nassau County Range at Mitchell Field.

The discipline and practice of target air rifle is extremely effective in teaching life skills that enhance student performances in schoolwork as well as in home, family, social and work-related activities. Life skills that are most effec-

tively developed through marksmanship include: self control, self discipline and emotional control, responsibility and concentration and attention skills.

GCAA Softballapalooza Weekend

On Saturday, GCAA Softball celebrated its 4th annual Softballapalooza Weekend, officially closing out the season. Over 100 families celebrated a tremendous season, with events beginning in the morning and lasting into the evening. Lunch was donated and catered

by Garden City’s own Novita/Waterzooi and Town Meat Market. This years event included a K, 1, 2nd grade skills competition, and tournament games for our 3rd-4th grade teams, our 5th-6th grade teams, and our 14U tournament team. In addition to dozens of coach and parent volunteers, High School varsity team volunteers Caroline Flannigan, Emily Moody and Stacy Roukis assisted in umpiring games, and joining in the Tournament team game.

This year, GCAA Softball wrapped up the day with the Tim A. Gewert Memorial Tournament Games, an event celebrating Tim Gewert’s Spirit and

Enthusiasm. GCAA youth player Jane Supper was presented a “TAG Award” for demonstrating extraordinary Spirit and Enthusiasm over the season. The game was enthusiastically played by youth players of all ages and their parents. All players enjoyed a special BBQ catered dinner donation by Garden City’s Town Meat Market.

Thank you to all our amazing coaches and families who participated all season long. GCAA Fall Ball is currently scheduled for Sunday afternoons in the fall for ages 4th grade and UP. Registrations will go out mid-summer. http://www.leaguelineup.com/ welcome.asp?url=gcaasoftball GCAA has run baseball in Garden City since 1955 and softball shortly thereafter (anybody with information on the origin of the softball program please email gardencity.ny.softball@ gmail.com).

2019 GCAA Majors Championship Game

On June 8, Ernie Banks would have said, “What a great day for baseball. Let’s play two.” Although the GCAA Majors’ Royals and Athletics did not play two games, they played one great championship game. Each team had won their quarterfinal

game, Royals over the Pirates 3-2 and A’s over the Dodgers 7-1. Next, it was the semifinals, where both teams scraped by; the Royals winning 9-8 over the Nationals and the A’s winning over the Red Sox 4-3. In the final championship game, the A’s

In the words of Yogi Berra, “It ain’t over ‘till it’s over,” and this game wasn’t over by any means.

The Royals battled back with three runs in the last inning, falling just short.

The A’s prevailed in a 6-5 championship win! In the words of Tug McGraw, “Ya gotta believe”. The Athletics believed all year long.

Athletes are at a high risk for developing skin cancer and outdoor sports create double jeopardy because perspiring increases sun burn risk.

Is sunscreen part of your daily athletic training program?

If you notice a spot or an existing one that changes, itches or bleeds, make an appointment to see a dermatologist.
