While another week passed without most school districts determining whether or not there will be fall high school sports, both Section I and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association did make important announcements.

As the New York State Public High School Association (NYSPHSAA) continued discussions on the immediate future of high school sports during the pandemic, slow but clear progress was evident.

Most fall high school sports should be a “go,” but a few remain a “no” for now. 

Drew Wendol’s second stint as Hastings’ athletic director was announced during the Hastings School Board meeting on Aug. 21. He succeeds Jesse Merchant, who announced his departure earlier this month.

The Hastings 14U baseball season ended on Thursday, Aug. 20, with an effort that left the Yellow Jackets one run short, 11-10, in their Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League semifinal against White Plains’ Hit-n-Run at the Burke Estate. The Yellow Jackets finished their season with a 15-3 ov…

In a month, high school sports teams are scheduled to practice in preparation for a fall season. Whether the teams will be granted permission to compete remains questionable.

With fall starts tentatively set for Sept. 21, Hastings head football coach and guidance counselor Joe Grosso, 38, resigned last week. He is headed for Fort Mill, S.C., with his wife, Kelli, and their two children — Kaylee, 6, and Christopher, 4 — to work as a guidance counselor at Fort Mill…

Jesse Merchant has accepted the new position of assistant director of interscholastic athletics for Section I, departing the Hastings School District where he has served as athletic director since 2017, and from 2007 to 2012.

By taking two of three games this past week, the 14U Hastings Yellow Jackets improved their record to 13-2 and clinched the regular-season title and secured the top seed in the Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League (GHVBL) playoffs that start this Tuesday, Aug. 18.

The journey a baseball player makes to the top — signing a major league contract — can take him far from home or just down the road.

The Hastings 14U Yellow Jackets improved their overall record to 7-1 in the Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League with a pair of wins this past week, downing the Westchester Bulldogs, 3-1, on July 22 and notching a 4-1 victory three days later against the Putnam Valley Wild.

The Hastings 14U Yellow Jackets stretched their season-opening winning streak to five games this past week before succumbing to White Plains’ Hit-N-Run Academy, 4-1, on July 21 at White Plains High School.

The Hastings 14U Yellow Jackets’ baseball team launched their 2020 summer season in the Greater Hudson Valley Baseball League (GHVBL) on July 9 with an 8-1 win over the Cobra Baseball Academy of Greenwich, Conn.

There seems to be a pipeline forming between Ardsley and Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.

Irvington rising senior center Grace Thybulle has paved the way for a promising academic year and final season on the hardwood by committing to play collegiately at Yale University.

The Irvington High School Athletic Department brought down the curtain on the 2019-20 school year by handing out awards during the high school’s graduation event on June 20.

The 2019-20 sports season at Ardsley High School ended with a virtual awards ceremony hosted by athletic director Mike Ramponi on June 10.

For the past year, Ardsley’s Jalen Osbourne was prepping for his shot at the 100- and 200-meter dash state championships.

There are now two players from the Dobbs Ferry girls’ basketball program who committed to colleges prior to the end of their junior year.

The Ardsley boys’ lacrosse program was the most affected by the cancellation of the spring sports season.

This year’s senior class of girls’ lacrosse players in the Rivertowns may not have been large in numbers, but it was definitely high in talent and character.

There will be no third-straight trip to the girls’ state golf championships for DOBBS FERRY’s Taylor Miano this spring. No chance for her to wrap up her career with a run to a possible state crown.

With the cancellation of the spring high school sports season, The Rivertowns Enterprise is running a series of salutes to the seniors who did not get the chance to wrap up their careers on the field. This week will recognize the softball players.

With the cancellation of the spring high school sports season, The Rivertowns Enterprise is running a series of salutes to the seniors who did not get the chance to wrap up their careers on the playing field. This week we honor the baseball players.

Dobbs Ferry junior Julia Schwabe didn’t realize how important her decision to commit to play lacrosse at the University of Michigan was this past fall.

Almost a full year after Artie McCormack left his post as Irvington’s athletic director for a similar job at Pearl River, the district found his permanent replacement in John Buonamano.

This isn’t the spring season they were hoping for.

After being named the Enterprise softball player of the year twice, and leading the Ardsley Panthers to a state title in her final season, Lauren Rende was looking forward to playing at the Division-1 level at Manhattan College.

In the Rivertowns, in a typical year, one student-athlete might commit to play basketball at a Division 1 college. So far this year, however, one senior and two juniors have signed with D-1 schools.

Hastings High School’s gridiron GOAT (Greatest of All Time) will be among a handful of players responsible for guarding the GOAT among NFL quarterbacks, starting this fall.

Hastings junior Aidan Gemme won the Class C crown in the 1600-meter run on Feb. 10, then the Section I title in the 3200-meter run on Feb. 23, securing a spot in the state field in the event.

In her final season, Irvington senior Sarah Garcia won a sectional title in the 1,500-meter race walk, placed second at the state qualifier, and finished seventh at the state championship.

Irvington senior Adrien Pierce completed his high school swimming career by participating in four events at the state championships on March 6-7 at the Nassau County Aquatic Center.

Whether he was scoring, passing, or blocking a shot, senior Lester McCarthy seemed to be at the epicenter of nearly every game-changing sequence this season for Dobbs Ferry. The defending sectional Class B champions finished with a record of 17-6 and returned to the sectional Final Four.

“Although I didn’t end the high school season how I wanted, I’m glad that there is something that I can be proud of,” Dobbs Ferry sophomore Olivia Deakins said about her second straight trip to the state ski championships.

The Rivertowns Legends finished 16-3-0 in 2017-18, then 5-13-0 in 2018-19. In 2019-20, the curve went up once more as the team won 16 of 23 games. Throughout that roller-coaster ride, Ben Birkhahn’s play was consistent.

Irvington senior Abby Conklin has a distinguishable stature and, according to her teammates, an unequaled energy.
