STEUBEN COUNTY- A large, enthusiastic crowd was on hand at Bath-Haverling Monday night to take in the 40th Academic All-Stars championships. Of the sixteen teams that competed throughout the six-week season, the top four were honored with trophies for their respective divisions, and then faced off for the Large and Small School championship titles.
The first match of the evening was between Canaseraga, with coach Lacey Deiter, and Alfred-Almond, coached by Steve Donlon. The A teams began the contest with a close game, ending with Canaseraga holding a two-point lead. But the Alfred-Almond B team rallied to a 56 – 24 victory securing the title.
Competing for the Large School trophy were Hornell, under coach Morgan Allison, and Addison, led by coaches Sonya English and Samantha Havens. This was a close match all the way through, however Addison emerged with a 33 – 27 win to clinch the Large School Championship. Also presented was the Barb Fairbanks Service Award, recognizing a person for outstanding work with All-Stars.
Mary Harris was honored for her 14 years serving as Coordinator for the program.
