For over 35 years, I have coached high school or middle school sports including baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and perhaps my favorite—basketball. I have coached both boys and girls teams. I have stood on the sidelines to watch literally thousands of games that I did not coach, which included standing in the rain for football games, snow for hockey games (GCDS plays our middle school hockey games on an outdoor rink), and sleet for field hockey and softball. I do this not because I have to as part of my job, but because I love it!

NORTH SALEM, N.Y. - North Salem girls basketball opened their season with a big win over Hastings on Wednesday, Dec. 6.  The Tigers jumped out to an early lead, but foul trouble threatened to let the Yellow Jackets back into the game. The squad’s defense refused to waver, a mentality that Coach Matt Mackenzie hopes will endure for the rest of the season. “We hung tough and were able to withstand everything they threw at us,” said Mackenzie. “It was a great defensive effort by the team.” Leading the charge for the Tigers offensively was senior Jaiden Donovan, who tallied 24 points. Sophomore Noemi Torres also got in on the action and added 11 points to give North Salem a 45-38 victory.  “The team took a ‘next one up’ mentality, and when their number was called, they played vital roles to put us in a position to succeed,” added Mackenzie.  The Tigers are scheduled to face Blind Brook at home on Monday, Dec. 11, at 4:30 p.m.

They beat Southington up 41-0 in the LL semifinal.
