East/WOI gets its title shot back but will be shorthanded

The door is open for the East High/World of Inquiry football team to play in the Section V Class B championship game Nov. 14, after a ruling by a state athletic association and a Section V official to reinstate the Eagles into the high school tournament. East High/World of Inquiry won a semifinal game at Monroe, 14-6, last Saturday. But seconds after a tackle on the final play of the elimination game Nov. 7, players from both teams began fighting on the field, including those who were on the sidelines. Officials at both schools said they were notified later that day each team was disqualified from the tournament. The decision was made this week and announced Nov. 11 to allow East/World of Inquiry to play Honeoye Falls-Lima, 3 p.m. Saturday at Saint John Fisher University. "I was very optimistic that they were going to find out who was involved and who was not involved," East High/World of Inquiry coach James Vann said. "Hope was still alive. We kept it business as usual (by practicing leading up to a game). "I knew they were going to do their due diligence." Rochester City School District superintendent Eric Jay Rosser said in a

How do the STEM and Liberal Arts Majors Compare at URochester?

There are many different approaches to how to give a lecture: between slides with words, slides with photos, a combination, or neither, every professor has their own way of teaching. I am in a double degree program with American Sign Language (ASL) and Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS), and I have experienced a variety of lectures. My BCS classes primarily use images and diagrams, supplemented by explanatory captions, and I feel like this style is the one that works for me. I know some of my friends in the BCS degree program dislike this and prefer slides to explain themselves more explicitly in words, using less images, and others are the opposite; solely wanting photos and very few words. The appeal of both sides is understandable.

East/World of Inquiry-Monroe game ends with fights, both disqualified from playoffs

Fights between players after a Section V football playoff game Nov. 7 have apparently resulted in the disqualification of both East High/World of Inquiry and Monroe from the Class B tournament. East High/WOI sealed a 14-6 win at Monroe by tackling the ballcarrier on the final play of the semifinal. The victory eliminated Monroe and sent the Eagles to the Section V Class B championship game Nov. 14 against Honeoye Falls-Lima. But just moments later, there were altercations from one 30-yard line to another. Coaches, officials and Rochester City School District personnel pulled players from piles, only to have to do the same elsewhere on the field. Fans came on to the field, adding themselves into the mix. Monroe principal Jason Muhammad said the school's athletic director received an e-mail from Section V just hours after the game and fights that said both teams were disqualified from the tournament. East High athletic director Eric Robinson had no comment but plans to reach out to Section V officials. There is a possibility that the HF-L Cougars, who came from behind to win their semifinal 28-14 Nov. 6, would be declared the Section V Class B champions and advance into the regional

‘Everything I’ve dreamed of:’ Canandaigua rolls past Greece Athena to win Class A2 football title

GATES — Go figure.

I grew up in Canandaigua. I was a ballboy for this team and I went to games at Evans Field. I looked up to all those guys who won championships and now, it’s me.”
