Saratoga Springs PBA Holiday Hockey Classic
SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Saturday night the Saratoga Springs Police PBA and the Saratoga Springs Firefighters IAFF Local 343 took to the ice for this year's Holiday Hockey Classic. This year the teams collected new and unwrapped toys at admission that will go directly to the Franklin Community Center in Saratoga Springs. Prior to the game even starting, a large capacity crowd slowly filled the Weibel Ice Rink in Saratoga Springs with some reporting wait times of almost 30 minutes to get into the rink.
On the ice SSPD started the scoring quick with a late goal by SSFD heading into the first intermission with a 3-1 lead for the Finest. That would be the closet the game would be as SSPD skated to a 11-2 victory tying the series record at 1-1 against SSFD. The biggest news of the evening came off the ice with the donations of the toys. With a crowd that was close to capacity for the ice rink, hundreds of toys were donated throughout the evening. After the game was over with and the spectators left, what was left behind washundredsoftoysthatwillallgo to children within Saratoga Springs to give them a Christmas that every childdeserves.
Members of the Saratoga Springs Fire Department and Saratoga Springs Police Department will be delivering the toys collected to the Franklin Community Center on Thursday, December 6 at noon. The Franklin Community Center is located at 10 Franklin Street in Saratoga Springs.
Saratoga Gymnastics Seeking 18th Consecutive Section II Crown
SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Springs High School gymnastics team opens their season on December 8 by traveling to Shaker High School for the annual Shaker Invitational. Saratoga is once again the team to beat in Section II gymnastics this season with a mix of veteran senior leadership as well as a strong contingent of underclassman. Saratoga is led by senior captains Laura Eberlein and Kate DellaRatta both of whom were state qualifiers last season in the vault and the uneven bars.
Sophomores Ava Dallas and Sophia Damiano return for Saratoga as well. Dallas was the Section II all- around champion last season and placed 13th in the all-around at the NYSPHSAA gymnastics meet. Damiano was the Section II all- around runner-up and placed 17th in the all-around at the state meet. Contributions are also expected from seniors Molly Russell and Emily Ward, sophomore Megan Wishart, freshman Sophia Sperling and 8th grader Olivia Allen.
Head Coach Deb Smarro, who is in her 13th year leading Saratoga gymnastics, and assistant coach Tiffany Hogben are excited to get the season underway as Saratoga is seeking their 18th consecutive Section II title. “The girls are working hard and are anxious to get the season started,” commented Coach Smarro. The team meet schedule is attached.
