The Panther Ladies went to Stillwater last Thursday to play the Warriors. A couple hours later and the Panthers were heading home with a 66 – 49 win. Rachel Pine led the way with 22 points, Taylor Hayes had a nice outing, tallying 14 points.
Tuesday evening was the biggest game of the year up to this point for the Ladies. Undefeated Greenwich and high scoring Alexis Case came to town for a showdown. With a big, vocal crowd on hand, the game lived up to its billing as a classic. The Panthers pulled away a bit at the very end, but they struggled to do it.

Last Friday evening the Panther boys basketball team hosted the Stillwater Warriors. In the early going in the first quarter, Connor McCart and Austin Pitt led the Panthers to a high single digit lead. It was a good thing they did. That gap stayed about 10 points for the remainder of the game. The Panthers just couldn’t pull away, and the Warriors, try as they might, just couldn’t catch up. The score at the half was 31 – 20.

What do Maria Callas, Enrico Caruso, Pablo Casals, Vladimir Horowitz, Arthur Rubinstein, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Itzhak Perlman and Luciano Pavarotti all have in common with Hoosick Falls Central School music teacher Ambigay Yudkoff and her students? Well, they have all performed in Carnegie Hall!
This past December, for the third time in four years Yudkoff and her students sang as part of a chorus with groups from other schools in a program by composer and conductor Tim Janis. This year’s performance was Janis’ “American Christmas Carol.” For the event HFCS students sang with students from a West Virginia high school and three New Jersey high schools. The performance benefitted award winning actress Kate Winslow’s Golden Hat Foundation whose mission is “to change the way people on the autism spectrum are perceived, by shining a light on their abilities and emphasizing their great potential. With proper education and career training, these individuals can truly realize their dreams.”
The concert gave the students the unique honor of singing in the prestigious Carnegie Hall and aiding a wonderful charity at the same time.
HFCS students who rehearsed for countless hours in preparation for this performance were sopranos Caitlyn Boyd, Kali Bushey, Emily Grant, Aubrey Mahar, Jillian Maser, Victoria McMahon, Bridget Redick, Ciaely Sanchez, Ashley Sherman, Danielle St. Hilaire, Renee St. Hilaire, Tiffany St. Hilaire and Colton Strohmaier, altos Anna Brewer, Samantha Davock, Sierra Funck, Lexi Gates, Gracie Gorman, Savannah Haber, Hayli Heim, Cassandra Hynd, Jake O’Connell, Madison Taber and Eliza Whitman, tenor Dylan Malo and basses Jeffrey Brewer, Theodore Brogue, Darrell Holovach and Jarred Libby.
Several chaperones accompanied the students on their bus trip to New York City. Another bus was filled with parents and friends who attended the event as well. HFCS Superintendent Ken Facin and Business Administrator Pam Hatfield also attended.

On Tuesday, January 20, at 7 pm in the H.S. Auditorium, Joseph Gorman, Manager of School Counselor Services at the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, will be conducting a program on financial aid for all interested parents and students.
This informational evening will acquaint participants with the financial aid process, application procedures and common award practices.
For the first part of the presentation, Gorman will present an overview of regulations, forms, formulas and procedures.
For the second part of the presentation, he will give parents/guardians pointers on how to complete the FAFSA form.
I strongly recommend that all college bound students and their parents attend this workshop. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about the financial aid process and understand aid packages offered by schools.
