THE SPORTS REPORTS TO UNVEIL ALL-REGION TEAMS BEGINNING MONDAY (2021-12-12)
It was quite a fall season in the Twin Tiers.
A state title for
the Corning boys cross country team, and the Tioga football team, as
well as a deep run in the PIAA football playoffs for Canton, and the New
York State soccer playoffs for the Notre Dame girls.
We also saw a number of District 4 and Section IV team title, and even more championship game appearances.
There
was state gold for Corning runner Jack Gregorski and Corning swimmer
Angie McKane, all-state performers in nearly every sport on both sides
of the border, and Section IV and District 4 individual medals almost
too numerous to count.
And, The Sports Reports was there to chronicle it all.
With
the addition of Northern Tier West Sports Report (Tioga County, Pa.) in
March, and Southern Tier Sports Report (Elmira-Corning) this fall, The
Sports Reports consists of five sites, and covers 24 school districts in
four counties and Corning.
Each site has already recognized its
top performers in each sport. Beginning Monday, The Sports Reports will
unveil our first All-Regional teams in boys and girls cross country,
boys and girls soccer, volleyball, and football.
We will also
honor the top coaches of the fall, the top female and male newcomers,
and the top female and male athletes of the fall.
For those of
you wondering why we won’t be doing All-Region teams for girls swimming,
golf or tennis, it’s simple. Schools in Pa. swim during the winter
season, so we will honor the girls and boys swimmers at the conclusion
of the winter season. The golf and tennis all-stars will be honored in
the spring.
There will also be sports, like field hockey,
gymnastics, and lacrosse, that won't have All-Region teams because there
simply aren't enough schools in our coverage are competing in those
sports.
We will begin the roll out of our All-Region teams tomorrow and our fall awards will conclude Sunday.
