Nothing like a front-row seat to the action… or, in my case, nearly becoming part of warm-ups. Note to self: ice hockey players and pucks don’t yield to executive directors. #OccupationalHazards #NYSPHSAA

Unbelievable pressure situation for Binghamton’s Zubayr Griffin; he drained two free throws to tie the Class AA final with 5.5 seconds in the game in front of a sellout crowd!! WOW. ⁦NYSPHSAA

A huge thank you to all high school officials for their dedication and commitment to the student-athletes of New York State. Your hard work makes high school sports possible, and without you, our students wouldn’t have the opportunity to compete. We appreciate all that you do!

A huge thank you to my amazing wife for holding everything down at home these past five weeks while I traveled for NYSPHSAA state championships—early morning departures, late night arrivals, multiple overnights, and navigating a few lawsuits and challenges along the way. Her
