The HFCS Panthers finished the winter season undefeated in league play in all sports. The Boys basketball, Girls Basketball, Wrestling and Bowling teams did not lose a league game all season.
In WASAREN league play, the Lady Panther basketball team is 14 – 0 (16 – 1 overall), the boys basketball team is 14 – 0 (18 – 0 overall), wrestling is 4 – 0 (7 – 9 overall). HFCS bowling competes in the Adirondack League where they finished 14 – 0 (47 – 1 overall).
The bowling team recently finished second in Section II (Sectionals). The wrestlers had two champions in sectionals over the past weekend. Sectional basketball for both boys and girls begins next week and both teams may be number one seeds.
Credit for this great accomplishment goes, in adition to the athletes themselves, to the community for all the things it provides from early ages for its youth, and to the School District for the great support it gives its sports programs. Perhaps the great Panthers fans that come out to support the teams have made a contribution as well.
The coaches, from T-ball to majors, Raiders and Irish football, Youth Center basketball on Saturday morning all provide the basis for this fantastic success. The WASAREN League is considered one of the most competitive leagues in New York State.
