Another big-time match brought forth another big-time result for your Spartan Spikers last evening. They commanded the Hamburg Bulldogs, and their fans, while in their own kennel, to sit and stay in four sets: 18-25, 25-17, 25-19, and 25-20.  While Junior D'Angelo D'Aloise recorded 18 kills for the match, the Senior Captain trio of Alex Chukhanenko (three service aces, four kills, and countless high IQ plays), Evan Saunders (16 kills, almost all of which came when the team really needed them) and Jon Zawada (37 assists, two service aces and a partridge in a pear tree) led by example.  Their inspirational play inspired teammates Raistlin Rowcroft, Hugh Adams, and Dmitry Zhilevich to step up their efforts and contribute to another big-time victory in a big-time match.   The team hopes that you do not have plans this coming Friday night as we welcome our cross-town rival Lockport Lions to our gym for a non-league battle with a team currently ranked in the Top 10 in WNY.  We would like all of you to come out and see us make our bid for the Top 10.  See you Friday evening!  (10/13)

Congratulations to:  Freshman Colby Bashor, Sophomore DeAngelo D'Aloise, Juniors Alexander Chuckhanenko, Sam Parise, Aiden Zimmerman, Jon Zawada, Evan Saunders and Seniors David Pilecki, Solomon Glynn and Senior Captains David Prozapas and Justin Gerhard.   Your contributions to the team this year and overcoming an outrageous number of injuries will not soon be forgotten.  You represented all the best things about Spartan Spirit, and Coach Spitler was honored to coach this outstanding group of men.  Only 287 days until next season starts...GET READY!!  (11/8)

*Congratulations to Cross Country team members Ben Olson, Franklin Payne, Jackson Griesmer, Liam Keelty, Nate Adams, Peyton Spatorico, and Tim Lukasik. On Saturday, they put in a total team effort to finish 2nd out of 14 teams at the Section 6 Championships, earning the title of Class B1 Champions for the first time in 10 years! Another congratulations goes to the team of Ava Wohlleber, Kristina Valnarov, Lyndzie Wagner, Meagan Zupo, Shannon Zugelder, Skylar Berube, and Sophia Waliszewski. They left it all on the course and finished 4th in a close race with three other state-ranked teams. Their average time was almost 40 seconds faster than last year's Sectional meet. Kristina, Ben, Liam, and Tim ran personal bests on a challenging 5k course. Finally, best wishes to Nate and Shannon, who both finished in the top 5 places and will represent Starpoint at the State meet in 5 days. The future is bright, as the boys return 6 and the girls return 5 of their top 7 runners for next year. Congratulations to ALL members of the Distance Gang on their efforts this season!

Sometimes, it's just a fight between two teams who do not want to lose.  Last night at Sweet Home, it was just that.  An old fashioned volleyball donnybrook.  And what a fight it was.  Your Boys Spartan Spikers came out firing, and kept it up all night.  They took the first two sets 25-23 (eek!) 25-13 (smack down), but didn't put the Panthers away, as they fought back and took the next two sets from the Spartans 25-22 and 25-22.  Then it went to a fifth set.  Your Spartans showed what they were capable of, regrouping in the venue where about a month and a half ago, they dropped a five set decision to these same Panthers.  That was then, this is now.  Paced by Justin Gerhard's 42 assists, the Spartans took set #5 by a score of 15-10, and punched their ticket to the ECIC Division D2A semi finals against West Seneca West this coming Saturday.  Sophomore DeAngelo D'Aloise chalked up 18 kills and 5 service aces, and junior outside hitter Evan Saunders piled up 12 kills and an ace.  Senior captain David Prozapas contributed 14 kills and 3 solo blocks, and with freshman Colby Bashor, and senior Solomon Glynn adding timely kills and blocks, all that was left was for junior libero to clean up on defense with 22 digs to seal the victory for Starpoint.   Congrats men!  Outstanding work.

On Saturday, the Cross Country teams traveled to East Aurora with 24 other schools for a very muddy ECIC Championships. In the JV race, Hannah Laubacker, Sage Pohl, Marlea Petroziello, Madelyn Schmidt, and Michaela Staskiewicz knocked off a deep Williamsville North team to finish third, led by a top-10 finish from Laubacker. The Boys JV team of Alex Rudnick, Nick Allen, Branden Farnham, Charlie Hykelma, and Josh Szymanksi also placed in the top 5 teams.   In another close Varsity race, the Lady Spartans finished 10th overall and 2nd in the league, 10 points behind a strong Amherst team. Shannon Zugelder finished third overall in a very deep field, while Meagan Zupo and Kristina Valnarov earned spots on the ECIC 2nd team.  Many athletes have stepped up for the Lady Spartans in tough situations this season.  On a day with many slips and falls, it was Skylar Berube and Lyndzie Wagner coming through to close out the scoring.  Even on an off day, the gentlemen put in a gritty performance to finish 8th overall and an undefeated 10-0 in ECIC Division 2 to become ECIC division champions for the first time in over 10 years. Goliath and Spatz finished in the top 25 overall, joining Trevor Lawrence on the ECIC 1st team. Louie lost both shoes in the mud and ran most of the race barefoot!  He still finished fast enough to join Salva Dut and Breadman on the ECIC 2nd team, with Jake the snake only a few seconds behind.  This Friday, seven young men and women will return to East Aurora to race for a Sectional title, and a chance to travel to Chenango Falls for the State meet. Best of luck Distance Gang!

*The Boys Varsity Spartan Spikers were nothing if not efficient last evening to open the playoffs this season.  The welcomed the Bulldogs from Kenmore East into the gym, then promptly escorted them out the gym, in a gentlemanly fashion of course, by scores of 25-11, 25-10 and 25-14.  Super Sophomore DeAngelo D'Aloise, led the Spartans with 11 kills and Justin Gerhard once again made the offense go, dishing out 29 assists over the course of the evening.   With the win, Starpoint moves on to the next round where they will travel to Sweet Home to try to tame the Panthers on their home court.  So, rack up your frequent flyer miles by going to Sweet Home tonight to root the Girls' volleyballers onto victory then, book your return trip for next Tuesday to watch the Boys do the same.  #OneStapoint!

*Last night, the Girls Varsity Volleyball team captured this pre-quarterfinal win against the Hamburg Bulldogs. The Starpoint Spartans started off red hot and finished the first set with three aces from Alexis Lamm putting the Spartans on top 25-22. The second set was just as dominating for the Spartans. Morgan Bennett and Ashleigh Schreader paved the way for the offense and led them to a 25-18 win in the second set. The Bulldogs did not let up going into sets 3 and 4, winning to the sets 25-18 and 25-21. The Lady Spartans went into the 5th set hungry to win. Emily Mielcarek and Olivia Boswell ran the offense allowing Sarah Barnum, Madison Beckman, and Carly Dell'Oso to earn consecutive kills. Emma Browka and Haley Hickson maintained a locked-in defense,  "passing dimes"  on serve to receive to help lead the ladies to a 25-19 victory in the fifth set. Congratulations on a great team win! The team's quarterfinal game is Friday @ Sweet Home at 6pm. Come out and support your Lady Spartans!  (10/28)

10/26/21

*Congrats to the Varsity Field Hockey team on their playoff  win over East Aurora/Holland.  Alex Martorana scored off of Riley Hamm’s pass in the 3rd quarter.  The Lady Spartans played great defense and Olivia Terranova earned her sixth shutout of the season.  The girls play on Thursday at 4pm at Will North.  (10/26)

10/25/21

*Congratulations to the JV and Varsity Cheerleaders on winning 2nd place at the first ECIC Game Day Competition! Great job ladies!   (10/25)

*The Girls Varsity Swim team crushed ECICs on Saturday morning. As a team, the girls placed 3rd overall in our division of 9 teams. All of our girls who qualified and attended shaved significant time off of their individual events. Standouts included; Allison Smith placing 2nd overall in the 200 IM and 3rd in the breaststroke.   Addy Martino placed 1st overall in the breaststroke and 3rd in the 200 IM. Megan Balko placed 4th overall in the 50 free and 3rd in the 100 free. Rachel Stoelting placed 4th in the 100 fly. You girls made Starpoint proud!  (10/25)

*On Saturday, you could say, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" for your Varsity Boys Spartan Spikers, but in reverse order.  After a poor start to the Grand Island tournament, the Spartans finally began to believe in themselves, sweeping Williamsville South, and the #5 ranked team in WNY and defending ECIC Div 2A champs, Grand Island Vikings.  They then marched over Williamsville East and Sweet Home , before falling to the eventual tournament champs, West Seneca West.  Spectacular performances were put in by Solly Glynn, David Prozapas, Evan Saunders and DeAngelo D'Aloise, while libero Jon Zawada was named to the all tournament team.  This coming Thursday night, Starpoint will be hosting the Kenmore East Bulldogs in the first round of ECIC sectional playoffs, so mark your calendar and help push us along in the playoffs.  We really hope to see you there.

The Boys Varsity Soccer Team says thank you to Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Dell'Oso for everything they did to make this season a successful and memorable one.  The Team had a successful season despite losing the quarterfinal game last night to Amherst in Penalty kicks. The Varsity boys did Starpoint proud by coming back from a 1-0 deficit to tie the game with Brady Hathaway scoring the only goal in regular time for Starpoint. In the end the game was decided sadly by Penalty kicks with Amherst coming out on top.  This was an emotional game and the last game for our Seniors who will be missed. The juniors, sophomores and freshmen want to wish Trevor Pollow, Anthony Ginnane, Justin Petricca, Bobby Taylor and Owen Kiesman the best for the future. Thanks to all our friends and families that came out to cheer us on.  (10/21)

*The Girls Varsity Field Hockey team beat East Aurora 1-0.   The goal was scored by Jaimie Fraass and assisted by Morgan Hamm.  Olivia Terranova had her fourth shut out of the season.  The entire team played great!  The girls are currently 4-2 in the league and 5-9 overall.  Congrats Ladies!   (10/21)

*Last night the Girls JV Field Hockey got an outstanding win against Holland East Aurora for their final game of the year.  Four goals were scored by Natalee Lawrence and two were scored by Jordan Duncan with an end score of 6-1.  Great effort and awesome plays were made by everyone as this concluded the season with a 9 and 3 record.  A phenomenal season was had by all.  Amazing job ladies! 

10/20/21

*It's going to take more than a little mud to stop the Distance Gang.  Both Cross Country teams put five runners in the top eight places to knock off Williamsville East and Williamsville South.  Nate Adams and Shannon Zugelder remained undefeated in league competition.  Peyton Spatorico has PR'ed in every meet so far and showed no signs of slowing down yesterday, picking up another second place.  Ben Olsen, Franklin Payne, and Liam Keelty made big moves in the last mile to pick up key places for the boys.  In her first race in over a month, Kristina Valnarov finished fourth in a PR, followed by Meagan Zupo, Ava Wohlleber, and Sophia Waliszewski.  Also running personal bests for 3 miles were Jackson Gresimer, Ethan Full, Jack Krawczyk, Griffin Schmidt, Lyndzie Wagner, and - last but not least - Annabelle Pacouloute, who just came back from a stress fracture!   The boys are now 5-0 with 5 dominant wins and the girls are 4-1.  Hill Sandwich and nine other days of training separate the Spartans from a championship season, starting with a shot at a league title: Next Saturday, 10 AM, at East Aurora High School.  (10/19)

*It was Senior night last night for your Varsity Spartan Spikers David Pilecki, Solomon Glynn, Justin Gerhard and David Prozapas.  Additionally, the Spartan Spikers had a score to settle with the Panthers from Sweet Home high school, and settle it they did.  After dropping a five set match to Sweet Home after Junior outside hitter Evan Saunders went down back in mid September, the Spartans made short work of the Panthers, taming them in straight sets 25-21, 25-20 and 26-24.  Starpoint was led by the aforementioned Evan Saunders 11 kills, David Prozpas' 10 kills and DeAngelo D'Aloise's 8 kills, while Justin Gerhard paced the Spartans with 35 assists.  The Spartans are looking to settle one final regular season score tonight at Williamsville East.  JV @ 5:00, and Varsity @6:30.  We sure would love to see some friendly faces in what promises to be a hostile environment.

10/19/21

Congratulations to the Lady Spartans Varsity Field Hockey team as they raised $1800.00 dollars for breast cancer research.  The money will be going towards the Lock In to Lock Out Cancer total.  High praise also goes to our Lady Spartans as we recognize these Seniors from our team:  Lindsey Blount, Grace DiaPaul, Riley Hamm, Natalie Sidoni, and Zoe Wagner.  Our Lady Spartans beat Sweet Home 4-0 with Alex Martorana scoring all four goals. Riley Hamm, Morgan Hamm and Natalie Sidoni had assists on the goals.  Lindsey Blount, Quinn Hurley, and Anna Floreano did a great job at midfield. 

10/18/21

Friday night the Boys Varsity Soccer team ended their regular season with a tie against visiting Alden. Although the poor weather determined the game’s score line it definitely did not determine the better team and had the game been allowed to continue the boys would have come out on top as they pressed Alden from the kick off, with your Spartans hitting the crossbar and missing a header early on before the weather delay. The game saw the return of Trevor Pollow to the line up.  The boys go on to the playoffs with a quarterfinal game at home vs. Amherst on Wednesday, October 20th at 5:00 P.M.  Starpoint is 2 & 0 vs. Amherst this season, but could use the help of the 12th man to make it 3 & 0. So come on out and support your boys in their first Quarterfinal appearance in 3 years.  (10/18)

10/15/21

The Varsity Field Hockey team played a tough game against the Amherst Tigers.  They secured a goal early in the first quarter.  The goal was scored by Morgan Hamm unassisted off of a corner.  The Lady Spartans were able to hold the Tigers to secure the win. Great defensive play goes to Zoe Wagner as well as Mara Beiter.  Congrats to Olivia Terranova on her second shut out.  The Lady Spartans field hockey team played Iroquois on Tuesday.   Iroquois scored first but the Lady Spartans tied the game in the first quarter with the goal scored by Quinn Hurley assisted off of Morgan Hamm on a corner.  Unfortunately, the Lady Spartans lost to Iroquois but stand out players in the game went to Lindsey Blount and Quinn Hurley.  The Varsity Field Hockey team lost a hard fought battle to Hamburg last night.  The Spartans passed the ball extremely well across the entire field.  The lone goal was scored by Riley Hamm off of Morgan Hamm's corner shot. Hamburg scored early in the 1st quarter and again in the 2nd quarter.  The Lady Spartans played together as a team continuously and should be very proud of their play.  Standout players go to Anna Floreano and Alex Martorana.  Their next game is Monday October 18th against Sweet Home. This game is Senior night, please come out and support your Lady Spartans!!!  (10/15)

*Last night, your Boys' Varsity Spartan Spikers returned to the court for the first time since September 15th with the entire team (except for one) available to play, many of whom were returning from lengthy injury hiatuses, and they were ready to play.  Too bad for Hamburg High School.  Working their way back into game shape, the Spartans tamed the Bulldogs in straight sets 25-19, 25-22, and 25-17.  Justin Gerhard's 33 assists were evenly distributed between sophomore DeAngelo D'Aloise (9 kills) , junior Evan Saunders (11 kills) and Senior Captain David Prozapas (9 kills).  Saunders and D'Aloise also chipped in with four and three service aces, respectively, while junior libero Jon Zawada earned the Caterpillar player of the match, firing up his excavator to the tune of 22 digs (unofficially).  The Spartans wrap up their regular season next week with a home match Tuesday against the Sweet Home Panthers and a road match at Williamsville East.  Those two teams both took advantage of the depleted Spartan lineups, so you can bet your Spartan Spikers are ready to settle that score.  Be sure to make plans to come to our Senior Night match to say thanks to our seniors David Pilecki, Solomon Glynn, David Prozapas and Justin Gerhard.  Gametime Tuesday will be 6:30.   (10/15)

*Congratulations to the Girls JV Soccer Team on their thrilling victory over Williamsville South, 2-1.  Grace Crissman scored two more goals leading the Spartans to their 6th victory of the season and first against Williamsville South.  The entire team was awarded the Spartan Helmet Player of the Game.  Gabby Knoebel, Brianna Ginnane, Lily Krentz and Mia Giamberdino were stellar on defense. Ari Hamilton played great in net. The girls finish off the season with a non-league tilt against Sacred Heart tomorrow.  (10/15)

10/14/21

The Girls Varsity Soccer team had another exciting win against West Seneca East with a final score of 5-2 last night. Goals were scored by Kelsey Schepis, Liv Bugbee, Rachel Dickey and two by Gina Krentz! Jenna Clark, Bella Scott and Emily Millville were all active with assists and keeping the game at a healthy lead. 

10/13/21

Congratulations to the JV Girls Soccer Team.  Even though they lost 2-1 to Williamsville East, that is a wonderful result against the best team the girls have faced all season.  Kaelan Bevilacqua was stellar in net and she split the Spartan Helmet with Nora Crissman who played tough all game long. Grace Crissman scored on a PK.  Bri, Gabby, Mia, Lily and Marlee all played splendidly on defense!  (10/13)

 *Your Lady Spartans Varsity Soccer had another great win last night against West Seneca East with a 4-2 final. Goals were scored by Liv Bugbee, Rowan Schmidt, Bella Scott as well as Gina Krentz who's assist came from Madison Mallone. Berkley Messer kept the team in a safe lead by making some great saves! The team plays West Seneca East again tonight at home so let's hope for a back to back victory!  (10/13)

 *Yesterday, the Cross Country teams took care of business in their dual meet against Sweet Home in two blowout wins. Meagan Zupo looked strong on the way to winning her first Varsity Race.  Ava Wohlleber finished second, and the tight pack of Sophia Waliszewski, Norah Marriner, Skylar Berube, and Gurmann Kaur sealed the deal. The boys are back at full strength and looking dangerous. Nate Adams, Peyton Spatorico, Franklin Payne, Ben Olsen, and Liam Keelty swept the top 5 spots in the race.  Great efforts to everyone, and shout-out to Jackson Greismer for finally breaking through with a PR!  The boys are undefeated, and the girls are 2-1 in league competition.  Catch the Distance Gang in action next Tuesday at 5:00 P.M. as they take on Williamsville East at home.  (10/13)

*Yesterday the Spartan Golf Team had 4 of it's members compete at the ECIC Championship/Sectional Qualifier.  Sean Schifferle, Drew Beiter, Joe Muscarella, and Tyler Grimm played great golf on an extremely tough track.  Culminating in a tie for 19th was Sean Schifferle who has now qualified for Sectionals in the spring.  This will be Sean's first trip to sectionals and it took an amazing round of 83 to qualify.  Great job yesterday guys and all season.  (10/13)

10/12/21

*The Cross Country team celebrated eleven awesome Seniors with a double win over Pioneer.  Both teams put five runners in the top seven places.  Ben Olson returned to form with a PR and a fourth-place finish.  Brandon Clarke, Jackson Greismer, Jack Krawczyk, and Griffin Schmidt also didn't let a little mud stop them from running personal bests. For the Lady Spartans, when one runner goes down, another one steps up. The attitude that brought them a Sectional runner-up finish last year will be on display this Saturday, as both teams travel to Alden for the Bulldog Stampede.  (10/12)

*Last Saturday, the Cross Country team had a huge day at the Alden Bulldog Stampede. Of the twenty-seven runners who competed, twenty ran lifetime personal bests. Sixteen ran faster for 5k than they did at the McQuaid Invitational for an even three miles. Here are just a few highlights: Both Nate Adams and Peyton Spatorico finished in the top 20% of the field, under 5:40 per mile pace. Franklin Payne ran a 90 second PR, one week after not being able to race. Tim Lukasik also ran almost a 90 second PR. Nolan Armitage decided to run the varsity race at the last minute...and then also ran a 90 second PR. On the girls' side: Shannon Zugelder took 6th overall. Meagan Zupo knocked a minute off her time in one week. Sophia Waliszewski, Skylar Berube, Gurmann Kaur, Norah Marriner, and Ava Wohlleber also helped bring the ladies within nine points of their rivals from Grand Island. And Marlea Petroziello has run three PRs, three weeks in a row. And a HUGE  "Congratulations to Peyton Spatorico for being named a Buffalo News Runner of the Week!"  In three weeks, the Spartans will return to the same course stronger, faster, and ready to play the dark horse at the conference championship meet.   (10/12)

*Last Thursday the Boys Varsity Soccer Team travelled to the Tigers den to face Amherst.  Even though the Boys are bruised and hurting with key players out with injuries the boys battled with Amherst.  The Spartans scored first with Anthony Ginnane slipping the ball past Amherst keeper in the 25th minute. Amherst tied it up forcing a double overtime. Cohen Vogel played a through ball to Brady Hathaway in the dying seconds of the last overtime putting Brady on a breakaway which ended with a goal and the win.  Starpoint played with Aiden Prince in net while Travis Pollow recovers from a concussion and brother, Trevor Pollow, his backup, is done for the season with a torn MCL.  Prince made late game winning saves to help Starpoint get the win.  The boys played with heart. It was a great defensive game by all!   

*Congratulations to the Girls JV Soccer Team on their victory over Iroquois last Thursday, 6-3.  Grace Crissman scored four, you heard that right, four goals!  Matty Adamo had a goal and an assist, and Becca Danwin scored as well.  Kaelan Bevilacqua had a steady game in goal.  Olivia Eberz, Talulah May, Madeline Levelle and Lauren Ceno have practiced hard all season and earned and played quality minutes in the game.  (10/12)

*The Girls Varsity Soccer team had an exciting win on Saturday with a 3-2 victory over Sweet Home. Liv Bugbee started off the scoring with a Penalty Kick followed by goals from Rowan Schmidt and Annie Santor.  Rachel Dickey had an assist and the defense, led by Alison Gibbons, Allison Schuler and goalkeeper Berkley Messer held the Lady Spartans to a win at home!  (10/12)

*Your Varsity Ladies Tennis Team competed in the ECIC tournament over the weekend and went 3-2 on Friday and had Emma Nesbit qualify for sectionals!  Emma had a great tournament beating her first two opponents in 4 sets while losing only 2 games!  Thus, sealing a sectional tournament berth.  On day two she had two more hard fought matches taking her first opponent to 3 sets!  Great tournament Emma!  The Sectionals are this Friday at the Lakewood YMCA in Jamestown.  Good luck Emma!  (10/12)

*The Starpoint golf team came out victorious against a tough Sweet Home team last Thursday with a winning score of 262-266.  Yes folks, 4 strokes separated the 2 teams.  Competing for the Spartans were Sean Schifferle, Drew Beiter, Joe Muscarella, Joe Manguso, Tyler Grimm, Ryan Kalinski, and Ayden Mapes.  Sean Schifferle was the medalist of the match with a round of 39, finishing his last regular match of his career in strong form.  Other great rounds were shot by Drew Beiter 40, Joe Muscarella 40, Tyler Grimm 45, and Joe Manguso 47.  Four Spartans will compete today in the ECIC championship and sectional qualifier.  They are: Sean Schifferle, Drew Beiter, Joe Muscarella, and Tyler Grimm.  Good luck gentlemen.  (10/12)

10/7/21

After starting the season 1-2, the JV Boys' Volleyball Team won their 12th match in a row last night with it's first ever victory over Clarence 25-15, 25-18.  Fresh off his STAR Spartan of the month award, setter Michael Cyr led the Spartans with its best offensive attack of the season.  Brady Cox, Gavin Farrell, Hayden Schuler, Noah Umstead, Dima Zhilevich, Jack Hawkins and Aiden Preisch all had multiple kills in a complete team effort.  (10/7)

* The Varsity Field Hockey team lost a tough game last night to West Seneca West.  The girls played hard and had great passes. There next game is this Friday at Amherst! (10/7)

A goal was scored by Sammy Latini, another goal was scored by Alexa Johnson, two goals were scored by Natalee Lawrence, and two goals were scored by Julia Lukasik

10/6/21

The Girls Varsity Swim team won their meet against Will. South last night 93-87. They are 7-1 in their season.  Swimming a best time in her 50 freestyle was Courtney Mastrocovo.  Addy swam her personal best of 1:10.05 in her 100 breaststroke.

*Last night the Boys Varsity Soccer were away at Sweethome and hoping to climb up the division into 3rd. The boys fell behind quickly and played catch up the rest of the night, losing 6-2 to Sweethome. The Spartan goals came from Sam Styrzo.  The boys are away at Amherst on Thursday and home on Saturday vs Sweethome. 

10/5/21

After giving up an early goal, the JV Soccer Girls battled back to tie the game 1-1 off of a great strike from Spartan Helmet winner, Sadie Eiss.  She went on Kaelan Bevilacqua and played lights out in net.  Grace Crissman dominated the midfield and showed how she can control a game with her skill, drive and competitiveness.  Lily Krentz marked Amherst’s best player and made her invisible all game long.  At each game a parent, referee, or spectator has made a positive comment about how much this team has improved from last year and throughout the season this year.   (10/5)

 *Well, sometimes you have to announce the losses along with the wins, and today is one of those days for your Boys' Varsity Spartan Spikers.    Seven total points was all that stood between victory and defeat for the Spartans last night, as Williamsville East came into a sparsely filled gym (where were you guys?) and handed the Spartans a three set loss by scores of 28-26, 25-23, and 25-22.  DeAngelo D'Aloise and David Prozapas led the way with 12 and 14 kills respectively, while Justin Gerhard put up another solid effort with 34 assists, service errors and hitting errors accounted for 14 of the points awarded to the Flames.  For those of you scoring at home, 14 is exactly one half of seven; the total number of points that decided the match.  (10/5)

10/4/21

The pieces are coming together for the Varsity Cross Country team, who took on state-level competition on Saturday at the McQuaid Invitational. Despite both teams missing 2 starters at full strength, your Spartans finished in the top half of the merged results of over 150 teams and 1,500 runners. The Boys Premier race opened fast, stayed fast, and showed what was possible with consistent hard work.  Nate Adams held on to finish 39th in a field that included three nationally-ranked teams. In the medium schools race, Peyton Spatorico made big gains in the final stretch to finish in the top 25. Liam Keelty also ran well to finish in the top half of the field.  On the girls side, Shannon Zugelder ran tough to finish ninth in the Premier race. Sophia Waliszewski improved her time by almost a minute to lead the Girls Varsity team, with Ava Wohlleber and Meagan Zupo close behind. The gutsiest performance of the meet may have come from Hannah Laubacker, who improved almost 3 minutes from the Amherst meet despite losing a shoe near the beginning of the race!  Wednesday's home meet versus Pioneer starts at 5:00 PM and features Senior Night, a brand new course, and one of the best individual duels in Section 6. Come out and support the Distance Gang!  (10/4)

*On Friday night, the Spartan Golf team faced a great Clarence squad and lost 246 to 260.  The medalist for the match was Starpoint's own, Joey 1 Chain Muscarella with an unbelievable round of 38.  That is 2 matches in a row now!  Other great rounds were shot by Drew Beiter with a 39 on his return to play, Tyler Grim 41, Drew Calvello with the round of his life shooting 46, Ryan Kalinski with another great round of 47, and finishing in the top 6 for the Spartans with round of 49 was Joe Manguso.  The Spartans will face Will East at Transit Valley on Wednesday and will finish their regular season against Sweet Home on Thursday.  Currently there are 4 Spartans qualified for the ECIC championships next week.  They are Drew Beiter, Tyler Grimm, Sean Schifferle, and Joe Muscarella.   (10/4)

*So, what happened when your Varsity Spartan Spikers went to Lockport Friday night, to play the favored Lions you ask?  Was Starpoint down three starters?  Yes.  Did they drop the first two sets?  Yes.  Did one of the new starters suffer an injury that took him out of the lineup?  Yes.  Did they lose?  No...no..emphatically no!  The Spartans took a huge step believing in themselves during this match, and after losing the first two sets 25-23 and 25-19, they got it together and took the next three by scores of 25-21, 25-19 and 15-10 in the tie breaker.  While there were a number of remarkable plays, as in Alex Chukhanenko showing off his soccer skills to keep a rally alive, the night belonged to super sophomore DeAngelo D'Aloise who could not be stopped to the tune of 19 kills, Senior right side Solly Glynn's 10 kills, Senior captain David Prozapas who recorded 18 kills and five solo blocks, and Senior captain Justin Gerhard, who put a Starpoint record 49 assists for the Spartans.  It was a great win, but they have another huge match tonight, at home, versus a tough Williamsville East squad.  A win tonight will keep the Spartans on track to compete for first place in the league, so if you're available, c'mon out and lend your lungs to help your Spartans.  JV @ 5:00, Varsity @ 6:30.   (10/4)

9/28/21

Your Spartan Lady Tennis Squad lost a tough match yesterday to Will East 1-4.  The lone victor was Lydia Roselund who battered her opponent 7-5, 6-2.  Coming into the match Lydia was ready to  pounce knowing she had a tough match that she had lost to last week.  But she knew she had what it took and Lydia struck hard and struck fast.  Amazing job Lydia!  All the girls played well and next we have Hamburg Wednesday.   Let's beat the Bulldogs!  (9/28)

9/23/21

Last night, your Boys Volleyball Spartan Spikers were at an early crossroad in their season.  They were on the road in Hamburg for a match against the first place Bulldogs. With one starter out with injury, and another coming back after losing a battle with poison ivy, the Spartans made it clear they were not willing to succumb to excuses.  After a first set loss 25-23, the Spartans pulled themselves together, and showed Hamburg what a team that plays for each other is truly capable of, taking the next three sets 25-22, 25-21 and 25-16 to send a message that when Spartans are injured and backed into a corner, that's when they become dangerous.  The Spartans welcome the St. Joe's Marauders to Starpoint Friday night, a match for which the Varsity Spartan Spikers will again be down two starters.  Sounds dangerous for the Marauders.  Hope you make it out to the match.  If not, watch the broadcast on Lockport's hometown television, LCTV.  (9/23) 

*Last night the boys soccer team played a long drawn out game vs West Seneca East.

*Last night proved once again that in sports the win doesn't always go to the better or more deserving team. Last night your Varsity Boys Soccer team played an outstanding game at home vs a league dominant Grand Island team. The boys owned the visitors from Erie county. The shock and awe of the boys constant attack had Grand Island confused and gasping for air as the Spartans continued their relentless assault on the visitors all night long and in the end a misstep in the Spartans 6 yard box resulted in Grand Island scoring the only goal of the game.   The boys will take this energy into their next game at home vs West Seneca East on Wednesday night.  Great game by all.  Spartan Pride is alive and well with the boys Varsity soccer team. Get behind the Boys Varsity Soccer Team and come on out and help cheer them on to victory.  (9/21)

9/20/21

*On Saturday, the Varsity Cross Country teams made a statement with a great showing at the West Seneca Invitational.

The Girls Frosh team of Gurmann Kaur, Lyndzie Wagner, Annabelle Pacouloute, Marlea Petroziello, and Sage Pohl also ran well to take fourth. (9/20)

Ben Olson and Tim Lukasik also scored for the 7th-ranked Spartans.    The road to Knox Farms continues next week, with a long-awaited rematch against rival Amherst and a road trip to Rochester for the McQuaid Invitational. If you want to get in on the fun, ask a team member about indoor track!  (9/20)  

*On Saturday, your Boys Varsity Spartan Spikers wrapped up a seven matches in 12 days gauntlet at the inaugural East Aurora volleyball tournament.  The competition was formidable, boasting some of the best teams from around here and Rochester as well.  The Spartans qualified for the Gold Medal playoffs, but were knocked out by a talented team from McQuaid High in Rochester in an extremely entertaining match with scores of 26-24 and 25-22.  David Prozapas, Jon Zawada, Alex Chukhanenko, Solomon Glynn, Deangelo D'Aloise all had great days, and their efforts were highlighted by the naming of Justin Gerhard to the all-tournament team.   The team is on the road again this week Wednesday versus league rival Hamburg, but finally returns home Friday night for a non-league, televised match against Coach Spitler's alma mater, St. Joe's.  Come on out to the gym Friday night to watch our JV and Varsity Spartans battle with the very talented Marauder squads and who knows; someone might see you on TV that night.  (9/20)

*After a tough loss on Wednesday night that saw your Spartan Spikers lose one of their "spikiest" fellows to injury, the team re-grouped with a new lineup.  After dropping the first set 25-23 as they got used to this new lineup, the Spartans decided to put the lumber to the Jacks, knocking them out in straight sets thereafter 25-13, 25-18 and 25-15.  Super Sophomore Spiker DeAngelo D'Aloise showed NT what got away from them, leading all hitters with 16 kills which also represented half of Senior captain Justin Gerhard's 32 assists.  However, the absolute stunning highlight of the night, if not the season, was the seemingly unbelievable one handed dig by Junior setter Sam Parise, which became believable when it was followed by an absolutely unbelievable stuff block by Sam who had barely recovered from the dig to get to the net and completely demoralize the NT Lumberjack who turned in his axe after that swing.   Coach Spitler lost his glasses reacting to the play.  Luckily, they were cheap.  (9/17)

9/16/21

The Spartans Boys JV Soccer Team went against the Amherst Tigers last night. They won that game 4-2.  Our goal scorers and assist leaders were: Ben Stenman with 2 goals, Matt Tillman with 2 goals, Mason Gfroerer with 1 assist, and Zack Ely with 1 assist. Great job on the win boys!  (9/16)

9/15/21

9/14/21

Last night, your Men's Spartan Spikers got back on track and into the win column with a straight set victory over league opponent Amherst, taming the Tigers 25-22, 25-16 and 25-16.  While Senior Setter Justin Gerhard kept the offensive attack running, and Junior Libero Jon Zawada made some sparkling defensive plays, everyone on the squad contributed to this "W."  Perhaps most noteworthy was the serving and stellar defensive performance put on by Senior David Pilecki, who made an absolute gem of a dig that everyone and their brother, sister and mother believed would hit the floor.  Everyone except David, who made a one armed, 270 degree spinning dig that was converted into a thunderous kill by the combination of Gerhard and Junior Outside Hitter Evan Saunders.  The win keeps the Spartans undefeated in league, and they have done so without dropping a set to this point.  They will try to keep this streak alive this Wednesday on the road against the Panthers of Sweet Home High School.  Stay tuned!  

9/13/21

*The"never say quit" Boys' JV Volleyball Team captured its second straight North Tonawanda Tournament Championship on Saturday by sweeping North Tonawanda in the semi-finals and Grand Island in the finals.  The team lost one set the entire day and was sparked by a 30-28 victory over Lockport to secure the top seed.  Co-captain, Jack Hawkins's solid setting led the way for the young Sparatans against Lockport while Zack Clark, Nolan Schmidt, Hugh Adams, Gavin Farrell, Lucas Crawford, Max Williamson, Aiden Preisch, Jackson Andrews-Nye, and Michael Hershberger never quit on any play.  In the finals, libero Raistlin Rowcroft, Brady Cox and Dima Zhilevich stood out with strong defense and hitting.  Down 13-19 in set 2 to Grand Island, Hayden Schuler rallied the team to victory with incredible shut down blocking.  Congratulations for a total team effort and to Noah Umstead and Michael Cyr for making the All-Tournament Team. (9/13)

 *When you hear "Friday Night Lights", do you think of Cross Country? That's exactly what happened last Friday, as your Spartans opened their season at the Dash in the Dark in Oakfield, Section 5. The task was a 6 mile relay, split evenly between three runners.  The night opened with some great performances. In the Girls Blue race, Annabelle Pacouloute, Lyndzie Wagner, and Sage Pohl finished 11th out of 45 teams. The team of Justin Brown, Nolan Armitage, and Josh Szymanski  also finished in the top half of the Boys Blue race.  The Gold races saw a preview of a possible Sectionals showdown, as the team of Shannon Zugelder, Ava Wohlleber, and Marisa Funari finished 14th out of 78, less than a second ahead of rival Grand Island. Nate Adams, Franklin Payne, and Peyton Spatorico were the top boys team from Section 6. They averaged under 6 minute mile pace to finish 9th.  Both the girls and boys are ranked in the top 10 large schools in the latest Buffalo News poll.

*The Boys' JV Volleyball Team lost a thriller to Canisius last night 25-19, 20-25, 27-29.  The team played inspired the entire night;  Hayden Schuler was incredible on defense, Noah Umstead forced the Canisius attack into tips with his blocking, Brady Cox, Raislin Rowcroft, Gavin Farrell, Michael Cyr, Dima Zhilevich and Jack Hawkins gave everything they had on the court.  Amazing effort boys...Practice today is at 5:30 today.  (9/10)

*Your Varsity Spartan Spikers took on the #1 team in WNY last evening, the Canisius Crusaders.  Everyone outside Mapleton Road expected a blow out, but the Spartans gave Canisius all they could handle.  After dropping the first two sets 16-25 and 17-25, the Spartans regrouped and took down the Crusaders 25-21 in the third set.  In a hotly contested fourth set, the Spartans were up 19 - 16, but lost focus just long enough to drop the fourth set and ultimately the match 22-25.   Regardless, the play of Senior Captain Justin Gerhard kept the Spartans in the match all night, along with the help of Senior co-captain David Prozapas, Junior Evan Saunders and Sophomore DeAngelo D'Aloise.   That match was certainly worth the price of admission.  If you can, plan on being there for the Spatans next home match next Monday against the Tigers of Amherst High School.  (9/10)

After graduating nine seniors last season, this year's version of the Starpoint Varsity Spartan spikers have some big shoes to fill.  So far, they are doing just that, and doing it rather well.  Last Thursday night, the Spartan Spikers opened their season on the road by taking down the Billy Goats of Williamsville South in straight sets 25-14, 25-17 and 25 -18.  Then last night, the Spartans traveled to Athol Springs to take on the St. Francis Red Raiders.  The gym was hot, but the Spartans were hotter, cooling off the Raiders 25-21, 23-25 (minor misstep there) 25-23, and 25-13 in the final set.   Senior Captain Justin Gerhard set the Spartans into the win column, while Junior libero Jon Zawada anchored the defense.  Huge contributions were made during this stretch by Senior co-captain David Prozapas, Junior Evan Saunders and Sophomore DeAngelo D'Alouise.    The Spartans have their first home match this Thursday against the Crusaders of Canisius High School, the current #1 team in WNY.  If you are available and have a mask, come on out to the match!  (9/8)
