Honoring Our Veterans on Memorial Day 2016

It was an honor once again this year to cover two Memorial Day ceremonies in Dutchess County. Despite threatening weather,  the City of Beacon held their parade along Main Street and concluded with a ceremony at the Memorial Building. The Town of Beekman held their ceremony indoors at Beekman Town Hall. It is always a proud time to remember our Veterans for without them we would not enjoy the freedoms we have in the Country of ours!

Dance Recital Season Begins!

As we have wound down our Lacrosse season this past week we now open the door to our season of covering dance recitals all over Westchester, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam Counties. It is a great feeling to capture these special memories for the dancers and their families. Today we start with "Peggy Izzo-The Dance Workshop" annual recital at the Tarrytown Music Hall. This is our 5th year covering this recital. We follow every weekend in June with a host of recitals. Good luck to all the dancers!

Section 1 Lacrosse Championships Wednesday

As the playoffs now reach the final games we have some great match ups scheduled for this Wednesday. In the Class A final it will be a repeat with Lakeland/Panas taking on Mamaroneck. We have covered Mamaroneck for the last 6 years and always find ourselves in the championship game. These 2 teams are very familiar with each other and both come off impressive semi-final wins Saturday. Mamaroneck defeated Mahopac 14-9 while Lakeland/Panas stormed back from 3 goals down to defeat Scarsdale 11-7.

In our other covered games Saturday, Bronxville capitalized on several Briarcliff mistakes to eliminate the Bears 5-3 and move on to another repeat championship game against Pleasantville last years Class C champion. And in Class B John Jay Cross River showed their power and they defeated Rye 13-3 to advance to the Class B championship game against Yorktown. All championship games will once again be held at White Plains High School this Wednesday. The quest to a State title continues!

The March to a State Championship Continues

As our coverage of the Section 1 Class A, B, & C High School lacrosse continues, we have 3 teams remaining with their sights on a State Championship. First congrats go out to Irvington Boys, Harrison Boys and the Briarcliff Girls who's seasons have ended. We are looking forward to continuing our video coverage in the 2017 season.

We now turn our attention to our remaining teams. Saturday Mamaroneck will host Mahopac in a return Class A semi-final battle. These teams have met the last 3 seasons with Mamaroneck gaining the victory---it will be a great game! In Class B action Rye will travel to John Jay Cross River in a semi-final battle. Finally in Class C the Briarcliff Bears will host 3 time state champions Bronxville in an epic battle. Briarcliff defeated Bronxville a few weeks ago in triple overtime 4-3. Stay tuned for more updates this weekend!

Playoff Lacrosse Begins!

Tomorrow will mark the end of the regular season for all our Lacrosse teams. It has been an extremely busy year as we added 2 more teams to our coverage for a total of 8. Monday will begin our second season with Section 1 playoffs beginning in Class A, B, and C schools. A very exciting time as each game is a "win or go home" element. We wish all of our teams good luck with the end goal being a State Championship. Thank you to my great crew who has been holding down the fort all season. Stay tuned to our updates over the next few weeks.

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to take the time to wish all the Mom's a very Happy Mother's Day. And especially to my Mom in heaven--love you and miss you.
