Avon baseball wins state baseball title

The Avon Braves had
been there before – the
New York State Class C
baseball finals.
And after losing
the previous two title
games, they again found
themselves looking at the
short end of a 5-3 score
late in the finals against
Ticondergoa, the Section
VII champ.
But the Braves didn’t
give up, rallying for a 6-5
win in eight innings and the
school’s first state baseball
title.
“It’s just an unbelievable
feeling,” senior Maxx
Countryman said. “We
were down most of the
game, but the guys in the
dugout never stopped
believing. We just needed
a few breaks to go our way
and they did.”

the seventh inning,
Countryman drew a
leadoff walk and eventually
scored on back-to-back
wild pitches to force extra
innings. Avon then took its
first lead of the game in the
eighth inning when Jimmy
Gross scored on another
wild pitch. Senior pitcher Maxx Countryman continued to come through in
big moments with a pair of dominating performances during the
Braves’ run to the state baseball title. He pitched three straight
shutouts in the Section V Class C1 final, the state regional game
and state semifinal game. He also started Avon’s comeback in
the state championship game with an RBI double that scored his Avon senior Aaron Ghent records an out at first base.

No written letter of reference
can paint the true picture of
who Natalie Northrup is and
not only what she means to Ho-
neoye Falls-Lima but also to the
future of our planet.
Mature beyond her years is
an understatement to the me-

maneuvers through each day.
Constantly pushing herself
beyond the limitations often
discovered by high school stu-

forward thinking, and highly
driven game changer.
Within the HFL community,
Natalie has already made her
mark. An environmental mas-
termind, Natalie has thrived on
her desire to compost her way
to a better world. Starting an
independent research project
in her backyard she develop
the most effective way, as well
as the quickest way, to break
down compostable matter into
high quality compost. In addi-
tion to compost, when it came
to spoiled milk, Natalie utilized
one of the school’s small sci-
ence labs during finals week
to test some extraction tech-
niques for removing fats for the
purpose of making bio-diesel.
Natalie has taken this pas-
sion and intellect in multiple
directions; she has created an
after school program at the
Manor school to teach chil-

of taking care of our planet
through healthy life practices
and choices. She took it a step

strategically increasing the

her message.
She has also taught a STEAM
course over the summer
months to Manor and Middle
school students, further en-
graining our youth with these
healthy choices.
Natalie recognizes that she
can facilitate the change that
she wants to see in the world.

When asked what three
aspects of high school Ra-
she replied, “Freedom with
your schedule — there are a
variety of classes, seeing my
friends every day, and music
classes — specifically wind

She encourages incoming
freshmen to try out any clubs
or sports they might be in-
terested, even if their friends
aren’t doing it.
“You should do what will
make you happy and not oth-
ers,” she shared.
The most important lesson
she learned in high school
was that the amount of effort
you put in will show in your
results of how well you do.

A celebration of champions
Third time’s the charm for Avon Braves baseball team; others share a winning feeling
By Kevin Hooker
kevin@livingstonnews.com
T
he Avon Braves and its six
seniors could not have
drawn up a better ending
to their season.
After falling short in each of
the previous two seasons, the
Braves rallied from three runs
down against Ticonderoga and
held on for a 6-5 extra innings
victory for the program’s first
New York State baseball title.
The victory gave Livingston
County’s just its second-ever
state baseball title, and the
2017-18 high school sports sea-
son fittingly closed on a high
note.
Through the years, the
Livingston County Athletic As-
sociation has built a strong rep-
utation as one of the premier
counties in New York State, and
this year was no different — we
handed out 13 team sectional
titles, and three state champi-
onships, including two individ-
ual championships from late
October to early June.
Needless to say, it will be
year our athletes — particularly
the seniors — will not forget
any time soon.
Here’s a quick recap:
Fall
It all started in the fall with
three teams winning a section-
al title and one runner winning
a state championship.
The Livonia boys soccer
team and its 12 seniors were
once again the king of the LCAA
as they captured their sixth
straight Section V title under
head coach Ray Maxwell. Two
seniors — Kyle Feldman and
Tavian Hino — both ranked in
the top three in points among
all LCAA players.
Then there was the Mount
Morris boys soccer team.
Led by senior Colin Brick-
wood — whose 71 total points
(32 goals, seven assists) ranked
first in the LCAA and third in
Section V — the Blue Devils
won 17 games and captured its
first D1 sectional patch since

2014.
And who can forget the
dominating run the Le Roy
volleyball team made? Coach
Kelly Tyler and its core of five
seniors— Ava Vescovi, Emily
Leone, Taylor Sherman, Jaidyn
Smith, and Juliana Prinz —
won its second straight sec-
tional title (and eighth under
Tyler) and didn’t lose a game
until the state tournament.

THE YEAR IN SPORTS
Winter
While there were no sec-
tional winners in boys or girls
basketball, several seniors who
had standout seasons. The
Perry boys’ four-year run with
Tyler Cowie—the back-to-back
LCN Player of the Year—and
Austin Croll came to an end
in the sectional finals for the
second straight year. The duo
helped Perry win more than 40
games the past two seasons, in-
cluding an undefeated regular
season in 2016-17, and scored
more than 1,000 points each for
their careers.
There also was a re-
cord-breaking performance
by 6’8” big-man Ben MacCo-
nnell (Warsaw), who scored
50 points with 21 rebounds in
a game over Keshequa— his

On the girls side, the stron-
gest players in the area were
all seniors, and included Way-
Co’s Alex Button, Bath’s Jadyn
Abrams, Pavilion’s Kim Davis,
and Letchworth’s Kelsy Hast-
ings and Julia Mertsock. All
scored more than 1,000 points
for their careers.
Abrams was selected as the

LCAA). She scored 30 points in

By Council on Alcohol
and Substance Abuse
of Livingston County
High school graduation is
an important milestone in a
young person’s life, and the
season is often marked with
parties, outings and other cel-
ebrations.
During this time there are
plenty of opportunities where
teens may contemplate tak-
ing risks, especially drinking
and drug use. At graduation
time, teens may feel more
pressure to celebrate by
partying with illicit drugs,
alcohol, or even prescription
drugs.
Unfortunately, too many
teens still say alcohol is easy to
get — and a Livingston Coun-
ty youth survey shows that
most of those who drink alco-
hol do not pay for it. Instead,
they get it from older friends,
from family members, at par-
ties or they take it from home
without permission.
Further, once kids start
drinking, most engage in
“binge” drinking, meaning
that they have five or more
drinks in a short timespan
with a goal of getting drunk.
Teen drinking is linked to
injury and risky behavior. We
can reduce underage drinking
by stopping easy access to
alcohol.
The legal drinking age pro-
tects kids. Did you know that
since laws established 21 as
the minimum drinking age,
the likelihood that a 15- to
20-year-old driver will be in-
volved in a fatal car crash has
dropped by more than half?
A U.S. Surgeon General re-
port showing that about 5,000
kids younger than 21 years old
die each year from alcohol-re-
lated injury, including crash-
es, homicides and suicides.
Talking to your kids about
the harmful effects of alco-
hol and drugs is a first step
towards the development of
healthy lifestyle patterns.
Your teen may be gradu-
ating soon, but that doesn’t
mean it’s time to let go.

now just as much as ever.
Talking to teens
There are many ways to
help keep your child safe and
healthy:
n Reinforce your expecta-
tions.
n Encourage your teens to
make each moment count.
n Provide safe alternatives.
n Be aware and ask ques-
tions.
n Set a good example.
Create a safe
graduation season
Here are six tips for parents
to help keep their teen safe
and make this season one
to remember for all the right
reasons.
n Set curfews: Teen car
crashes and deaths increase
exponentially late at night.
Know where your teen is, how
long he will be there, when he
will be leaving, who is there,
and who is supervising the
event.
n Be up when they come
home: A teen’s curfew should
never exceed the parent’s
ability to stay up.
n Clearly communicate
your expectations: Talk to
your child about the dangers
