Scholarship Games Are Fun For EveryoneGRAHAMSVILLE-- The Amy Paes Scholarship Basketball games provide a lot of enthusiasm and pride for the four sixth grade teams in their "Moving Up" competition.
The event took place Saturday, March 10 in the Tri-Valley Central School main gym.
They are now considered graduates from the Saturday BearCub Basketball Program and many look forward to Tri-Valley's seventh grade modified basketball. The Saturday BearCub Program is under the guidance and management of Scott Mickelson.
In the girls competition between the Red team and the Blue team the Red team coached by Chris Gozza pulled out a 10-8 victory over the Blue team coached by Gary Buley.
The boys Blue team coached by Jonathan Edwards defeated the Red team coached by Greg Botsford 18-12.
Scott Mickelson made two special presentations during this event to Jonathan Edwards and Erin Smith for their "years of service and dedication to the BearCub Basketball Program," and that the plaques presented to them were given "with deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude and your commitment to this program is an inspiration to us all."
Girls team players included Lily Gozza, Taylor Cox, Alexis Walter, Angelina DiToro, Gillian Matthews, Julie Helthaler, Elise Yamen, Fiona Luiso, Anna Hendrickson, Maggie Jane Mitchell, Jaclyn Musa, Morgan Shamro, Dominque Johnson, Brianna Jackson, Nicole Scuderi and Nirvana Blake.

Volunteers assisting with this scholarship event included refs Erin Smith, Sabrena Smith, Kainan Justiniano, Ashley Exner, announcers Greg Swarthout, Steve McInerney, Jonathan Edwards and scorekeepers Cory Turner and Kevin Giroux.
The Tri-Valley Alumni/Faculty (odd numbered year graduates vs. even numbered year graduates) game turned out to be quite a shooting exhibition by 2006 graduate Ian Exner and 2003 graduate Kyle Humphrey as the two led the Red team to a 124-70 victory over the Blue team. Exner ended up with 35 points and Humphrey with 34 points with both players showing outstanding three-point scoring skills along with fast-break scoring abilities.
Participants in the Alumni/Faculty game along with Exner and Humphrey were Kyle Walter, Scott Michelson, Cory Turner, Alan Moss, Branton Smith, Brent Lawrence, Greg Botsford, Joe Lee, April Meade, Tim Martin, Mike Moss, Michael Kaplan, Chris Gozza, Fred Moore, Lacey Moore and Craig Terbush.
