Rain Showers A Blessing To Manor
The old familiar saying that at the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold can certainly be true for the Livingston Manor Central School's Lady Wildcats two-time Class D state softball champions and the winners of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association boys Class D baseball championship.
Both teams had to endure rain delays in their quest for the state championships and rain again let loose with a downpour June 17 as the Town of Rockland communities of Livingston Manor and Roscoe were getting set to honor their state champions with a Parade of Champions down Manor's Main Street.
The pot of gold after the rain delays was definitely there this year for Livingston Manor's two championship teams and the community turned out for the June 17 parade and packed the old high school gym where honors were bestowed on the two teams and their coaches.
Wow.....it just doesn't get any better then this but with every success story comes some joyful sadness that Livingston Manor fans will have to travel a little further next season to view the talented senior graduate Marissa Diescher who takes her outstanding pitching and hitting skills along with her great personality to Penn State on a full scholarship.
What memories Marissa will carry with her ........ finishing this years state championships with two no-hitters, winning two state titles back to back, being named the Gatorade/ESPN Rise state softball player of the year, ending a high school career with 24 no-hitters with six of them coming this year, an 0.16 ERA and 1,167 strikeouts.
