The Camden unified basketball team held its home opener against New Hartford on Thursday, May 8th. The Blue Devils locked up a 44-29 win over the Spartans, led by Jayden Osborne's 24 points. Stephen Parry finished with 14 points of his own. Other key contributions came from Peter Trautner, Charles Vaillancourt, and Angelina Kersey!
The Unified Basketball program has become a favorite within our school community, and with great reason. Held in conjunction with NYSPHSAA and Special Olympics New York, Unified Sports empower all students to be part of a team's success. Students with and without disabilities partner together to build skills, have fun, observe the highest standard of sportsmanship and pursue a common goal. And if you've never been to a game, the enthusiasm is truly infectious.
The Blue Devils are headed to Central Valley Academy today for a 4:30 PM tipoff. They also visit Whitesboro on Tuesday. You can see the team in action at home as they celebrate senior day on Thursday, May 15th against Oneida. That game tips off at 4 PM.
On Thursday, May 9th, the Camden softball program celebrated its class
of 2025 with the annual senior day observance. Ahead of a 25-0 win over Holland Patent, the Blue Devils recognized Camryn Shenk and Kendall Musch for their contributions to the program.
In this matchup, the seniors certainly were a part of the show. Shenk homered and tripled en route to five runs scored and four runs batted in. Musch hit three doubles and added a triple while also scoring three runs. In the circle, Abby Hebble rang up five Golden Knight
hitters on strikes, and Aubree Turk struck out four in relief. The Blue Devils' pitching duo combined for a two hit shutout.
Both senior athletes on the team are bound for Division I programs in
the fall of 2025. Camryn is headed to Le Moyne, and Kendall will lace
up the cleats for St. Bonaventure.
