Thomas Cecere didn’t start playing lacrosse until seventh grade, but he never looked back. While football and hockey kept him busy during fall and winter, Cecere devoted his springs and summers to lacrosse and worked hard to secure his future. In August of 2017, Cecere announced his commitment to play Division 2 college lacrosse at North Greenville University in South …
If there’s one thing every coach and player in the Fed knows, it’s that any team can win on any given night. It would seem that the odds are in Grand Island’s favor this year — the Vikings have won their first four games of the season. They improved to 4-0 with a win over St. Francis on Sunday, but …
Last season was a “growing year” for Grand Island. “We knew that after graduating 14 seniors from the year before, that it was gonna be one of those seasons where we’d take little steps forward and maybe a lot of steps backward,” said coach Don Pray. “And we did last year. We’re overall happy with where we ended up. We …
Soccer. Hockey. Lacrosse. Grand Island’s Austin Blair spent his time in high school playing three sports. He started playing lacrosse at a very young age and took up hockey a couple years later.

Both Grand Island and Sweet Home have an abundance of sophomores that are carrying much of the workload this season and in the years to come. On Thursday night, with Sweet Home at the top of Division 4 and Grand Island trailing a few teams in Division 3, the two young teams met on the Olympic Rink at Northtown Center. …
Tuesday night’s game was St. Francis’ third game in three days; Grand Island, meanwhile, hadn’t played a game in a week and hadn’t even practiced over the weekend. The Red Raiders’ momentum was no match for the well-rested and calm Vikings. “We started slow and they started fast,” Grand Island coach Don Pray said. “So from that point on, I …
Last season and this one are like night and day for Kenmore West. The team had just one league win last season; on Sunday afternoon, the Blue Devils won their sixth game of the year to take sole possession of first place in Division 4. It goes deeper than just wins and losses, though. Last year, team morale was low; …
The Grand Island-Lewiston-Porter rivalry is one that goes way back, and the latest match up in the saga is one that neither team will soon forget. It seemed fitting that a captain would score the game-winning goal, and on Friday night at Niagara University, it was Lew-Port captain Kurt Magers who scored 28 seconds into overtime to give his team …
