Welcome to this week’s breakdown of the High School Sports Beat, brought to you by Alfred State College. Many thanks to Alfred State College for sponsoring the Sports Beat, and helping to bring weekly coverage of Section V High School Sports to broadcast on 13 WHAM.
Now, here’s your behind the scenes look at the production, from the producer and the shows many contributors. It’s Week 22 of the season, and the Winter sports season is starting to wind down, just as actual winter roars again in Rochester.
We begin this week with the Selects Academy hockey team at Bishop Kearney. The girls on the team live on campus and attend classes at BK, but play most of their games around the country.
Part of the Legacy Global Hockey program, Selects BK opened its season last September. They have played games across the country and Canada including stops at the Fraser Hockeyland in Michigan and the Kitchener Auditorium Complex.

We leave you this week, with an Insider weekly feature – looking back at some of our stories from the past 8 years. From February 1, 2012 – a story on the then 5th Annual RAP Basketball tournament, covering two games – Franklin vs Penfield, and Greece Arcadia vs Eastridge. Our first Sports Beat look at the Lancers hoops squad, led then by Supreme Hannah. The story also features a 24 point, MVP performance from Arcadia’s Steven Klimek – who we profiled last season for his exploits in the Minor Leagues with the Baltimore Orioles.
