Liberty junior earns BCANY basketball All-Star honors
Liberty junior Zack Alvord was recently named to the BCANY Section IX Class A All-Star boys basketball team.
“I couldn’t be more proud to see Zack named as a BCANY Mid-Hudson Class A All star for the second season in a row,” his coach Matthew Robinson said. “This honor is a direct reflection of the countless hours of hard work he has put in when no one is watching.”
To be eligible for any BCANY award the team’s head coach must be an active BCANY member, member coaches then nominate players from their team to form an All-Star ballot. From this pool of nominees, coaches within each class voted to determine award recipients. In accordance with BCANY guidelines, coaches were not permitted to vote for themselves, their own players or their own teams.
““It’s always an honor for the coaches in Section IX to acknowledge my hard work,” Zack said. “I would also like to thank Coach Robinson, Coach Ferguson and my teammates for a great season.”
Zack averaged 14.3 points 3.9 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game.
“When you see a player work that hard and remain so humble, you love to see them get this recognition,” Coach Robinson said. “As good as a player Zack is he is an even better person and I’m looking forward to seeing what he has in store for his senior season.

Tuesday, April 7
3 p.m.: Girls Varsity Golf vs. Multiple Schools at Wallkill Golf Club
4:30 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Port Jervis at Liberty High School
Result: Liberty 0, Port Jervis 23
Despite the biting cold and relentless winds, the Redhawks took to the field for their home opener with an unwavering spirit. Even though the scoreboard favored Port Jervis 23-0, the final tally doesn’t tell the full story of a team that did not to let the elements or a tough opponent dampen their resolve.
Playing on the field for only the second time this spring, several Redhawks found ways to shine against a dominant pitching performance by the Raiders’ Abbey Montalvo. Giuliana Wagner led the charge offensively, going a perfect 2-2 at the plate. Wagner’s performance, featuring both a sharp single and a powerful double, accounted for the team’s hits on the day. Lilli Black showed great range and focus in the outfield, reeling in several difficult catches despite the blustery conditions. She also displayed discipline at the plate to reach base safely once in two at bats. Brooke Porter also stayed very patient at the plate, going deep into the count and battled to earn a walk as well, contributing to the team’s offensive effort.
While Port Jervis brought a heavy-hitting offense, the Redhawks remained vocal and supportive of one another through all five innings of the cold, cold day. Facing 13 hits and three extra-base hits is a challenge for any defense, but the Redhawks used the experience as to “learn on the fly.”
The team’s ability to maintain a positive attitude despite the weather is something to be proud of.
4:30 p.m.: JV Softball vs. Port Jervis at Liberty Elementary School
Wednesday, April 8
3 p.m.: Boys Varsity Golf vs. James I. O’Neill at West Point Golf Course
4 p.m.: Varsity Baseball vs. Monticello at Monticello High School
4:30 p.m.: Varsity Softball vs. Sullivan West Central at Sullivan West – Jeffersonville
Result: Liberty 1, Sullivan West 19
In a season defined by growth and perseverance, the Redhawks took the field again this Wednesday with a focus on teamwork and growth. While the final score was 19-1 in favor of a strong Sullivan West team, the Redhawks remained a united front, filling the dugout with cheers and encouragement for one another from the first pitch to the final out.
Facing a dominant performance in the circle by Sullivan West’s Jocelyn Doyle, the Redhawks stayed disciplined and continued to put the ball into play. Maddy Stewart Ignited the Liberty offense with a sharp line drive to right field and used her speed to cross the plate for the Redhawks’ run. Amy Szuba added a base hit later in the game. Lilli Black put together two exceptional at-bats, showing great patience to draw two walks and reach base twice.
What the box score doesn’t show is the positivity displayed by the team as they continued to cheer each other on right up to the last at bat. Throughout five tough innings, the Redhawks never let their heads hang. Instead, they focused on the “small wins”—learning to back up plays, communicate on the field, and celebrating every hard-fought out.

Liberty skier heading to states for third time
A Liberty High School junior will make his third appearance at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Skiing championships next week.
Hudson Danzilo will compete in the Giant Slalom on Monday, Feb. 23, and the Slalom on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at Bristol Mountain in Canandaigua
Hudson joined the varsity ski team in seventh grade and has qualified for Section 9 Championships each year he competed.
“This fantastic athlete has competed in every race in Section 9 for the past five years, always determined to give his all for Liberty,” Coach Carpio Ramos said.
Hudson earned a spot on the Section 9 race team for the state championship for the first time as a freshman. In that two-day race event, Hudson was one of the only members of section 9’s boys team to complete all runs in icy conditions during the giant slalom and slalom races. He competed against athletes from throughout New York State at White Face Mountain in Lake Placid, New York.
Sophomore year brought more success for Hudson, again earning a spot on the Section 9 race team and competing in the state championship races at Gore Mountain. Both years, Hudson finished better than 50% of his opponents, earning an overall score of 30 out of 60 racers and 26 out of 60 racers. Last year, above and beyond racing for Liberty High School, Hudson joined a travel ski racing program and continues to compete all over New York state this season as well.
Now a junior, Hudson’s performance really took off this season. His best finishes were second, third, and third in this season’s slalom races and second, second, and third in this season’s giant slalom races. This earned Hudson second place in section 9 going into the Section 9 Championship races on Feb. 12 at Hunter Mountain, earning a silver medal for second place overall, just 2.6 seconds behind first place.
