SUNY Women's BB Falls to Poly

Cobleskill, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill women’s basketball team returned to North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) action at the Iorio Gymnasium on Wednesdayevening by dropping a hard fought 62-56 decision to NEAC North Division leader SUNY Polytechnic Institute at the Iorio Gymnasium. With the defeat the Fighting Tigers fall to 7-6 overall on the season including a 2-3 mark in conference play while the Wildcats are now 7-5 overall with a 3-0 conference record.

Down 46-to-32 entering the fourth quarter the Fighting Tigers staged a spirited rally that cut the Wildcats lead down to 58-56 when sophomore guard Addy Lawson, Cooperstown, N.Y., Milford High School, stole an errant Wildcat pass and went the length of the court to score with only 26 seconds left to play.

However the home team could not complete the comeback as SUNY Poly connected on four late free throws and a pair of Fighting Tiger three-point attempts fell short to give the visitors the road victory.

Addy Lawson scored 16 points, grabbed seven rebounds and passed out four assists to key the Cobleskill comeback with sophomore guard Shaliyah Graham, Bronx, N.Y., Martin King Jr. High School, adding 16 points, nine rebounds and three steals. Sophomore center Stacey Sprague, Grand Gorge, N.Y., Roxbury High School, contributed eight points and 13 rebounds in the game while freshman forward Ali Changa, Watervliet, N.Y., Watervliet High School, added eight points and three rebounds on the evening.

The Fighting Tigers will next be in action over the weekend when they travel to Pennsylvania for a pair of NEAC contests starting on Saturday January 13th when they make their way to Chambersburg, Pa. to face the Phoenix of Wilson College for a 3:00 p.m. tip-off before heading to Bryn Athyn, Pa. for a conference meeting with the Lions of Bryn Athyn College beginning at 2:00 p.m.

Whittling Away: A New New Year

Goodbye to the old year, hello to the new one.  It’s a good thing that at this time of the year we get a “Do over”.  2017 is about worn out.  It had its good moments but they were overshadowed by a whole bunch of bad ones.  Hopefully we’ve learned how to avoid or at least smooth out some of the rough spots. One of the things that I don’t look forward to is making resolutions.  I don’t fully understand this or why we do it except that it’s a law or something.  My first resolution for 2018 is to make new resolutions.  I will admit that for years I’ve just recycled the ones from the year before.  I’m going to make new resolutions mainly because the old envelope I wrote them on many years ago is so worn and wrinkled that I can no longer read them.  I think I’ll start my list with the ever popular ‘lose weight’. That’s probably the leading resolution among our steadily widening population.  In the beginning of the year, it’s hard to find Kale, spinach or anything green and healthy in the produce aisle at the market.  Gym membership rockets up, sales on running shoes go through the roof and you can’t find a pair of yoga pants in any store. This dearth of healthy things usually doesn’t last more than a couple of weeks.  Pizza sales go back up and the junk food aisles fill up once again and ‘lose weight’ stays at the top of next year’s resolution list. 

Making resolutions is tough at my age.  A good resolution should improve your life or make you a better person.  At my age, I’ve outlived most of my bad habits.  Wild women and fast cars have lost some of their appeal, my alcohol consumption last year was two glasses of wine and a bottle of beer, the only vice I’ve got left is my old pipe and I don’t intend to give it up.  I should read more and watch TV less, that’s a good one.  I’m getting a new hip January fifth so maybe I’ll take up ballet although I’m not sure if ballet shoes come in size 13.  I think I’ll resolve to spend more time with our new pup, Telly.  That won’t be a hard resolution to keep, he’s so darn cute.  It’s like having a three year old around the house and now I‘ve got time to enjoy the antics of a three year old, time I didn’t have when my kids were that age.  Another resolution I’m going to make is to show the Queen more attention, tell her how much I appreciate the things she does to make our life better and remember to tell her how nice she looks and remind her how talented she is.  Another resolution would be to make myself a kinder gentler human.  Again at my age, not a hard resolution to stick to.  Life keeps getting better because I’m taking time to appreciate the small things around me, things that are easy to overlook during the busy years.  There is so much that’s beautiful around us and my main wish for the New Year is that you have the time to see and appreciate it.

     Thought for the week—Resolution in a bad cause is called stubbornness; stubbornness in a good cause is called resolution.

     Until next year, may you and yours be happy and well.
