Congratulations to Camden eighth grader Talon Kimball on placing seventh at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Championships in Albany! After falling in his championship bracket match, the eighth grader fought his way to the placement matches through the consolation bracket with two wins: One by pinfall, and another by decision. He won the 7th place match with a Major Decision victory.
Did we mention he's only in eighth grade?!?
Congratulations, and here's to a very bright future!
Camden Middle School sixth grader Claire Barber recently had the chance to play the game she loves on an internationally-recognized stage. Barber, a member of the Utica Junior Comets 12u Girls Ice Hockey team, participated with her teammates in the International Ice Hockey Federation’s 2024 Global Girls Game held from February 16th to February 18th.
The Global Girls Game is a worldwide event that consists of a series of almost 40 hockey games for women and girls around the world. Start times were staggered so that effectively, there is a game being played as part of the event at any time throughout the three day period. During each game, a team is designated as either “Team Blue” or “Team White”, and an aggregate score across all games is kept.
In honor of Utica hosting the IIHF Women’s World Championship this April, the Jr. Comets organization had the chance to hold a home game as USA Hockey’s official representative in the global series. The Jr. Comets defeated the Binghamton Blizzard, and then formally handed off the festivities to two teams across the world in Kazakhstan.
Claire also recently met Olympic Gold Medalist and multiple-time World Champion Megan Keller of Team USA as part of the build-up to the tournament!

Pictures from Friday's Section III Quarterfinal at Chittenango. Not the result we had hoped for in a 58-53 loss, but certainly an effort to be proud of as the boys battled all the way down to the wire. The Blue Devils wrap up a terrific season at a 16-5 overall record.
Remember.... spring sports registration is in progress! If your student is interested in signing up, please do so soon!

Update: Kolton and Talon wrestled in tight matches, but unfortunately, both lost by decision in their first championship bracket bouts at states.
However, there's still plenty to earn and compete for in the consolation bracket, with podium places 3 through 7 on offer. Kolton is seeking a second straight state podium, while Talon is hunting for his first.
This is how the road ahead looks now. Keep after it, gentlemen!
