From the Waterville Central School District:

It's another sectional week for our Girls Varsity Soccer team and Varsity Football team!!!

Girls Varsity Soccer (1) will kick off this week's sectional play for Waterville with a match-up against Frankfort-Schuyler (12). This semi-final round match-up will take place Wednesday at 7:30 PM at Lowville Academy as the neutral site. Tickets are $4. There be a spectator bus with at least 40 students signed up by 3:00 on Tuesday. The cost for the spectator bus is $7, which includes their game ticket.

Please visit syracuse.com to check out the bracket (https://highschoolsports.syracuse.com/…/brackets/season/…/15). If they're able to grab a win Wednesday, the girls will head to a sectional finals match-up at SUNY Cortland this Friday!!! Best of luck, ladies!

Varsity Football (3) is also still in the tournament after a big win last Friday against rival Sauquoit Valley! This Friday will feature a rematch from early in the season against Beaver River (2). Game time for this semi-final round match-up is 6:00 PM with the game being played at Lowville Academy as the neutral site. Tickets are $5. There be a spectator bus with at least 40 students signed up by 3:00 on Tuesday. The cost for the spectator bus is $8, which includes the game ticket.

A win this Friday would move Varsity Football to a Carrier Dome appearance!! Once again, check out the full bracket at Syracuse.com (https://highschoolsports.syracuse.com/…/…/season/2019-2020/4).

For directions to Lowville Academy, please visit their website for additional information: https://www.lowvilleacademy.org/Athletics_Facilities_Map.ht…

Athletic Director's Note: Mrs. Mursch appealed directly to Section III for a more neutral site for both of these games. Unfortunately, those appeals were not granted. Let's make it a home game regardless with spectator attendance!!! We look forward to seeing both of our teams advance on to the next round!!!

At Clark Memorial Library in Oriskany Falls:
Bring the kids and have some Halloween fun on October 29 between 5 and 7 pm. The kids will get to guess what is in the boxes by touching the items inside. We'll have treats and some other fun as well. Play some games and win a prize! Stop in to see what the library has! Come in your costume! We'll be looking for you!
