NORTH COUNTRY LOSES
PIONEER IN GIRLS ATHLETICS |
|
By Bob LaRue, North Country SportsNet
A North Country woman who was considered a pioneer in girls
and women’s sports in Section X and New York State passed
away over the July 4th holiday weekend. 57-year-old
Stephanie Putney of Rensselaer Falls lost a two-year battle
with cancer. Putney was a star swimmer who set school
records that still stand at West Genesee High School. She
was a coach and official for many college and high school
girl sports throughout her 35-year teaching career at
Heuvelton Central where she also served as athletic
director. Putney was also active in developing girls
lacrosse in the region and was head of the North Country
Volleyball Board. She and her husband Howard also operated a
horse-training facility at their farm.

IN 8TH, CHATEAUGAY TIPS
MORIAH IN STATE "D" OPENER |
|
By Bob LaRue, North Country
SportsNet
The Chateaugay Bulldogs were the
only Section X team to survive the
opening round of the New York State
Baseball or Softball playoffs on
Monday. And it took an extra-inning
thriller to prevent the sweep.
Austin Pivetta slapped a pitch to
centerfield that was mishandled
allowing the Bulldogs to plate the
winning run as Chateaugay outlasted
the Moriah Vikings 8-7 in eight
innings in the New York State Class
D Baseball regional semifinal at
SUNY Plattsburgh. The Bulldogs
racked up a four-run, first-inning
rally to muscle a 4-0 lead, capped
by Shane Harrigan’s two-run single.
Ryan LaBare and Brian Ashline also
had RBI singles. But Moriah
countered with two runs in the
bottom of the first. The Bulldogs
reestablished the four-run margin on
RBI singles by Ashline and pitcher
Eric Dwyer. However, undaunted, the
Vikings fought their way back with a
five-run second and gained their
first lead 7-6. With 13 of the
game’s 15 runs already logged, the
game settled into a pitcher’s
challenge. Ty Mailloux tied the game
7-7 with a hit to rightfield in the
sixth inning plating pinch runner
Ben Trombley. After the Bulldogs
scratched for their run in the 8th,
reliever Ian Henderson completed a
masterful three-inning shutout
performance by getting the power
hitters in the 2-3-4 slots in the
Viking order out in order to claim
victory. Chateaugay advances to face
Section II’s Fort Ann at SUNY Canton
on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
