Against a very tough Rye team Greeley Lacrosse was bested 9-6 in last Thursday’s game. With Rye on the doorstep at least six times, credit goes to goal tender Doug Gusick, who was able to keep Greeley close as the game was tied 3-3 at the half – with goals credited to Ethan Frieder, Alex Scott and Cory Ekstrom.

Few leaves remain on the trees, the weather is cold, and the fall sports season in Chappaqua is over, sadly.  Wait, what did you just say?  It’s not over??  How can that be?  Soccer, tennis, curling, football are finished for the year, right?

The Horace Greeley Boys Varsity Soccer team wrapped up its regular season in fine fashion this past week. On Wednesday, October 8th the team visited RC Ketcham and pulled out a thrilling 4-3 victory over the 9th ranked team in Class AA.

Girls 4-6 times more likely than male counterparts in same sports to tear ACLs

This fall, when my daughter, a senior at Greeley, sustained an ACL tear at the first game of the varsity soccer season, I chalked it up to the risks of participating in sports.  The following week, another teammate tore her ACL.  And then, over the course of the next three months, several more of Greeley’s female athletes tore their ACL’s – all requiring surgery and a recovery of at least six months.

I’ve written in the past about the great expansion of bike trails in Westchester, Putnam and New York City.  However, there are great bike trails to the north, in Dutchess and Ulster Counties.  These trails make for great new safe bike venues.  This time of year these trails are especially beautiful – – and flat!

Taking advantage of a beautiful day, a home field advantage and a loyal following, the Boys Soccer team won against a very solid Ossining team, 6-2 on Monday. The game was a tale of two halves with Ossining coming out strong and capitalizing on a cross goal shot in the 25th minute to take a 1-0 lead. Greeley tied it up before the half when Matt Neuberger connected a pass to Liam Bradley in the goal area where he volleyed the lofted ball.
