Following a brief break in which numbers on both sides of town were healthy enough to allow for both East and West to field separate teams, girls tennis is returning to a combined districtwide squad for the 2024 campaign. Drawing players from both schools just means that coach Phil Prynn, who was East’s coach last season and is handling the […]

From day one of the preseason, West Seneca East football coach Jim Maurino expressed his desire for the Trojans to return to the program’s signature punishing style of a ground-based attack for 2024. That’s exactly what he got Friday night as his squad churned out 337 yards and six touchdowns on the ground to shut out host Cheektowaga, 48-0, in […]

West Seneca’s districtwide girls soccer team came within a few missed opportunities of evening out its record at 1-1 Saturday, but those missed opportunities gave Kenmore West the opening it needed to secure a 2-1 win over West Seneca in a contest that needed double overtime to decide. Goalie Riley Kawalec, a sophomore from West whom coach Justin DiLoro called […]

It may have appeared to be a tale of two halves on the scoreboard, but West Seneca West football coach Mike Vastola conceded that Saturday’s 18-13 season-opening loss to Niagara Falls really wasn’t much of a contest. “We just didn’t make the plays or play well enough in general to win,” Vastola said. “We fumbled the ball five times, and […]

The good news for Clarence’s football team is that it needed a single play to be able to answer host Kenmore West’s first touchdown in Saturday’s nonleague Class A crossover. The bad news, at least for the Red Devils’ defense, is that it meant an almost immediate return to the field – on an unseasonably hot and virtually cloud-free day […]

Clarence’s girls soccer team quickly and thoroughly shook off its first win of the season by adding another pair of wins to its total last week, both of which came in shutout fashion. Sweet Home proved to be the perfect foe for Clarence to face following its 1-0 loss on Sept. 8 to Long Island’s MacArthur – it was the […]

Eight players found the back of the net Friday to help Clarence’s field hockey team improve to 3-0 on the season by way of its third consecutive shutout, an 11-0 triumph over Sweet Home. Junior attacker Avery Collins made the biggest splash of the day, finishing with three of the team’s goals; the first goal of her hat trick was […]

Football is often described as a game of inches. West Seneca West might reluctantly counter that this past Thursday night at least, it was a game of feet. Coach Mike Vastola lamented the fact that his Warhawks were virtually one foot away from turning two plays into touchdowns that instead went for safeties in their favor. Would those extra eight […]

The second time was the charm for West Seneca West’s girls volleyball team, as the Lady Warhawks took down Orchard Park, 2-0, in the championship round of Saturday’s East Aurora Tournament to claim the title. It was West’s second tournament appearance in as many weekends, as the Lady Warhawks kicked off their 2024 campaign by taking part in the Hamburg […]

West Seneca’s districtwide field hockey team picked up its first win of the season Sept. 6 by knocking off Pioneer in a tight 4-3 clash that precipitated a weeklong break from game action. That break in play may have had a role in the squad dropping a 4-2 decision to Williamsville East in Friday’s return to action, as West Seneca […]
