Letter To The Editor – The Tradition Is Strong

By

To the Editor:
This is written in hopes of acclaiming the accomplishments of the wrestlers of Hoosick Falls. It has been many years since the Panthers have claimed the League and Class Sectional crowns. As one of many who had grown up watching and eventually participating in the strong tradition of one of the toughest, most unforgiving and relentless of sports, I feel a great measure of pride and nostalgia, as do all the alumni of HFCS wrestling as we enjoy the fruits of the labor of the young men who continue to compete on the mats this year.

This same bus is also overcrowded with always a child sitting on the floor. A big NO NO! [Read more…] about Letter To The Editor – A Waste Of Taxpayers Dollars: Bus Routes
