What is it like to be a student athlete at Nyack?

By Hailie Vasquez 

Nyack High School is full of bright and talented young athletes who participate in the wide variety of sports teams that we have to offer. Whether it’s track and field, basketball, or even bowling, there’s something for everyone. And while these teams come with fun games and practices with friends, there also comes responsibility and pressure. As the winter athletic season progresses here at Nyack, there are many different perspectives and experiences that should be shared, and our student-athletes tell all.

Redhawk Replay: Winter Sports Updates

Dribbling their way to an amazing start was the boys basketball team. They won the Howard Godwin Tournament in Sleepy Hollow on December 3rd, soundly defeating Ossining and Henry Hudsonn by ten-point margins with many meaningful contributions, including those from Juniors Raydelh Boutin and Gabe Walker, both selected for the all-tournament team. No contribution was more important than that of Xavier Jules, who won tournament MVP. Since then, the team is 2-0, beginning the season on a four game heater, riding high into their tilt vs Roosevelt in the Red and Black Tournament!

Culinary Corner: Butternut Squash Soup

The day had started out unpromisingly rainy and foggy, and the soggy ground smelled like roots. I was even thinking that the last few golden leaves still clinging to the maple trees looked like the first bloom of spring forsythia. At five o’clock, an hour before our dinner’s start time, the sun came out. I still had to towel dry the cement floor of my porch, which held so much condensation from the tumbling fog. When my friends pulled up, a herd of a dozen deer elegantly glided across the street and melted into my back garden, among confused periwinkle blossoms.
