Congratulations to the Camden High School Unified Basketball team on a third place finish in this year's Tri-Valley League tournament! This group committed itself to finding ways to get better every game and every practice, and came together as a team in the true spirit of the Unified Sports program.

We tip our cap as well to our neighbors at VVS after a well-played game today, and wish them all the best in Thursday's championship against Whitesboro.

Also, our thanks to everyone who came out and brought a true home game atmosphere to our gym at a busy time of year!

The Varsity Boys’ Golf team is at today’s Section III Class A/B boys’ golf championship at Barker Brook Golf Club! As stipulated by Section III, the Blue Devils qualified as a team through their performances in two matches in which the team shot a combined score of 35-over-par or better, with at least one taking place away from the team’s home course. The away match clause was met with a combined score of 209 at Camroden GC against Holland Patent, and an impressive home performance of 182 total strokes against Notre Dame at McConnellsville Golf Club secured the team’s participation. The latter is a possible school record for a home match, but that has yet to be confirmed in totality.

Attending today’s championship are Logan Boncella, Alex Lallier, Garrett Grinnell, Colton Schuler, Ryeland West, and Cooper Benjamin. Also worthy of recognition is Talon Kimball, who could not take part today, but has shot as low as -1 over a nine-hole span this season to tie for the lowest recorded score on the squad with Boncella and Lallier.

Congratulations to senior Zach Giarrusso on qualifying for the Section III Division II Individual Boys' Tennis Championship! He will compete on Monday up at Watertown HS. Zach, a fifth year varsity player, competed primarily at first singles for the Blue Devils this spring, with a 4-4 record. He also took on doubles play twice during the season. After graduating, he will attend the University of South Carolina.

Good luck!

We have a new school record! Congratulations to Brenden Chennells on setting a new track and field program benchmark in the 400 Meter Hurdles, which he achieved on Friday at the Cahill Classic hosted by Sauquoit Valley! His time of 57.68 seconds broke the previous school record by .59 seconds, and was the winning time at the meet by nearly three seconds!

Brenden is a junior, but we'd also like to take a chance to tell you that Senior Day festivities for Track and Field will be held at Wednesday's home dual meet. Come on out!

Friday evening was a beautiful one for baseball, and the Camden varsity took advantage with a road matchup under the lights at Murnane Field in Utica. With the game on the line in the seventh, the Blue Devils scored three to pull ahead of Utica Notre Dame, and ultimately prevail by an 8-7 score.

Players and coaches from the Camden Baseball and Softball programs spent their morning helping others by participating in the Oneida County Youth Bureau's Intergenerational Spring Cleanup. The Blue Devils were out and about helping some area seniors with some spring yardwork so they can enjoy the nice weather to its fullest in the weeks and months ahead. Cleanups are held each Fall and Spring with area schools, colleges, and youth groups working throughout the county. Camden students have often participated in this important effort, including the last four years under Director of Athletics Josh Mazzaferro. For more information on the intergenerational cleanup events, including how you can get involved in the future, the Oneida County Youth Bureau website is located at https://ocgov.net/departments/youth-bureau/. If you know someone who would like assistance as part of future cleanup events, contact the Oneida County Office for Aging and Continuing Care. Their website can be found at https://ocgov.net/departments/office-for-aging-and-continuing-care/news-and-events/.
