TU Tuesday-local

Niskyuna beat Shenendahowa in the boys section II class A finals for Lacrosse. The final score at the end of the game was 17-11. "it was because of the Silver Warriors' ability to win face-offs and stick skills that set them apart from the Plainsmen". " 'We were winning some draws, but we didn't win the ground balls,' said Shen coach Chuck Holohan". The teams exchanged goals untill went into halftime "Niskayuna with an 8-7 lead." The second half was then dominated by Niskyuna by winning face offs and ground balls. " 'It was very difficult to come up with a game plan to stop Niskayuna,' said Holohan".

30 On Memorial Day, I will…

on Memorial day i will be chilling up at my lake house. Possibly on the jet-ski or boat. I have to reopen it for this summer. We have to get the boat and jet-ski to put in the water and tow the four wheeler up on a trailer. We have to clean up a little but after that its boat rides and relaxing. My family recognizes memorial day because we have had family members in the army before.

Sports Conversation Starters
  • Who is your favorite athlete?
  • How often do you exercise?
  • What is your favorite sports team?
  • Do you play any sports?



  • My favorite athlete is most likely Chris Johnson. He is a exciting running back to watch. I exercise just about every day because i have lacrosse practice. If I'm not at practice I am being active with my friends one way or another. My favorite sports team is the New York Giants. I love watching the NFL and growing up in New York with my father who also is a fan made me become one. I play lacrosse and football. My favorite sport out of the two is most certainly lacrosse.

    40. Does participation in sports keep teens out of trouble?

    I believe that participation in sports keeps teens out of trouble.
    1) because it gives them less time to do stupid things.
    2) Sports are something that is constructive and teaches a person important life skills such as perseverance, hard work and team work
    3) If kids are not in any extracurricular activity then they become bored and will do bad things.
    4)sports can help teens through at times hormonal changes and tough social relationships.

    tried and true

    http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/post/13101004357/331If I had 10 copies of myself that i could download memories from I would have one person go to school to collect information and do work. Then I would have one clone go exploring the world to see sights and bring back fascinating experiences. My next clone would sit home and study and do homework all the time to further learn other information and to get work done. I would have my 4th clone play lacrosse all day and watch lacrosse film to study successful athletes and have better lacrosse IQ. My 5th clone would read every book imaginable so I could gain a massive vocabulary. Another clone of mine would do a lot of community service projects to help those in need. My 7th clone would become a professional snowboarder and i could download that information.  I would also have another clone learn every martial art there is to know and become an extremely skilled fighter. I would then assign a clone to become a handy man so i knew how to fix everything which would be quite useful. My 10th and final clone would be a body builder.

    university of chicago

    Compose an essay about a memorable meal you have eaten. We are especially interested in the details: the occasion, your company at this meal, its physical setting, the kinds of foods you ate, or their preparation. (University of Chicago)


    Today I had a delicious dinner with all my extended family. We went to a small Italian restaurant in downtown Albany called Katrenella's. We went to celebrate my birthday and I was also getting confirmed shortly after our dinner. We ordered very swiftly and my large family squeezed into the little restaurant. I ordered chicken parmigian. The food arrived and I ate quickly because i couldn't wait to down such a delicious meal. The chicken and ziti was smothered in scrumptious spaghetti sauce so that i could hardly find the meal. It was perfectly made and the service was terrific. The room was very dark and had a more romantic/fancy feeling to it which i enjoyed. I opened presents after the dinner then we drove up the road a short ways to the Cathedral.
