Hoops fan- mostly NY section 3

The new reclassification is coming in the '23-'24 school year.

What? Why? Is this good for my team?

Read to learn, read to learn, and probably.

Notre Dame be looking at this tweet like

[Kenny Lacy @KennyLacyJr]

Here at @UticaNexus for one of the most anticipated high school basketball games in the Utica-area in a long time. Utica Proctor and Utica Academy of Science will face off for the first time ever. They’re battling for the Utica Cup in the Downtown Classic

@Section3Basket1 Brandon Corp!! Chitt hoop legend and eventual Colgate lax star!

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

Tragic from an athletics perspective. CSR filled a special niche for generations

Also tragic from an academic/community perspective. I have very close personal connections to the school and hope that students, faculty, and the neighborhood get through it.

This is so sad. I almost went to St. Rose many moons ago to play Baseball, but chose Siena where I wasn’t good enough to play. Ha. But I know a lot of friends, nieces, & nephews who went to St. Rose and to see it close is extremely sad.

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

Couldn’t agree more.

Kids playing sports with their friends is really still a big deal, especially to them in their daily lives.

Grown folks like to bitch about “kids have changed”, phones, socials…same adults push kids to play one sport year round. Good for these kids

[Section2Hoops @Section_2_hoops]

Love this. In a time when sports is becoming “specialized” and kids only play one sport. It’s good to see kids playing multiple sports and enjoying it. The best athletes used to always play every sport. Well done. @StillwaterCSD

This Monday night football game is garbage.

Shit offense. Shit quarterback play. Stupid penalties. Inconsequential “moments”.

I will give props to the front 8 on both defensive sides, but my god this game has been miserable to watch

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

Takes some chutzpah to actually do the rankings

I was a Simmons-on-page-2 guy, a grantland guy, and absolutely a ringer guy. I like the way they approach this stuff.

West Canada Valley 38
Herkimer 24
Final

Defense wins the day 🔒 WCV didn’t shoot it well, but they put on the clamps to ensure a comfortable W in their tournament championship. @AnalyceGrab102 was a two-way force & led all with 18; two players w/ 7 each for Herk. SUNDAY ✔️

West Canada Valley

The 4 schools are only separated by 25 miles at the furthest point, but they hail from 3 diff sections. Championship day at WCV tip-off tournament.

OESJ (S2) v Richfield (S4) first; S3 neighbors Herkimer & WCV for the trophy after. It’s go time!

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

@jmcmullen62 I feel exactly the same.

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

I haven’t watched the Lions this year. Tonight is the first time.

What on earth is the story behind that lion on the sides of their helmets

Also, white vs gray looks foolish. It works in baseball, I guess, but this is one of the aesthetically ugliest games I can recall

[All Things Orange @AllThingsSU]

Heal our souls, Basketball.

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

Not really on this app too much any more. The changes in the last few months have kind of tanked my carefully curated steam.

I return to shout this into the void:
I’m sick of the Phillies and the Astros deserve to suffer.

I guess I’m a rangers fan for the next few days 🫠

[Buckets McHoopington @315buckets]

Is upstate NY the d3 Mecca and I never knew?

Like, I knew about the teams, but I knew so little about the rest of the #d3hky world that didn’t have enough context to really appreciate what we’ve got

[D-III Hockey News @DIIIHockeyNews]

My 2023-2024 Men’s #d3hky Preseason Poll is here!

It’s that time again!

Graphic: @JRmediaIII give him a follow!

[Section II Boys Basketball @Sect2BoysHoopNY]

Preseason rankings coming in ✌🏻 weeks. Who do you have in our large and small school team and all Section 2 teams?

[USA Hockey @usahockey]

The city of Utica, N.Y. & USA Hockey gathered today for a formal press conference to introduce the 2024 IIHF Women’s World Championship.

With the top women’s hockey players from 10 nations competing, organizers have big plans for a great tournament & off the ice! #WomensWorlds

A small business or charity that specifically offers redesigned logos for schools that blatantly and unabashedly rip off college logos

Not looking to replace mascots. Just high schools that deserve their own branding.
