Letter To The Editor – The Accomplishments Of The Hoosick Falls Student Body
To the Editor:
Words do little to express the significance of the accomplishments of the Hoosick Falls student body. Certainly, there are heroes, champions in abundance, individually and as teams, most notably the girls soccer and football teams. Their right to now proclaim themselves the best teams in their chosen sport throughout the ENTIRE State of New York cannot be denied. Hoosick Falls is indeed “Title Town.” You young people and your teammates, which include coaches, parents, cheerleaders and musicians, are to be congratulated and will be for many moons to come.
