Big doin's in The Valley today!! It's Homecoming weekend and around here, this is a big deal. A really, really big deal - parades and everything - it's fun! Valley's Varsity football team played host to Whitney Point's Eagles in a bird on bird smackdown in the birdcage. This was no smackdown though - this was domination defined as the home team blew the visiting raptors away and kept them totally grounded. Valley crushed WP 61-6.

This Newark Valley team has really turned into a well rounded squad with multiple players stepping up and contributing to the effort on both offense and defense. Admittedly I was a little concerned after the 1st game loss to Tioga that Valley looked a little overly dependant on team captain and QB, Vinnie Darpino. Vinnie is an exceptional player and has demonstrative leadership ability, but one man does not make a team. This team, right now, appears to be gelling and is in fact a solid looking, cohesive *team*. Todays win moves the team on to a 3-1 record on the season now - and all three wins have been huge. The team goes on the road next week to a local perennial powerhouse in Section IV football - Chenango Forks.
I got quite a number of photo's from the day that will be going up to the galleries over the next couple of days - but in the meantime I thought I would just get these out chop chop.
***** Go Valley!!! *****
