December 1, 2021: Chenango Forks senior Nick McCabe was surrounded by friends and family at the High School Library as he signed his National Letter of Intent to play Division II Lacrosse at the College of Saint Rose on Nov. 30.

“Congratulations, Nick, for getting to this point,” said Lacrosse Coach David Pavlick. “Over the years, we’ve spent a lot of time together. Nick has put in an incredible amount of work in season and also off-season.”

Nick played four games before sustaining an injury last season, but during those four games he scored 26 points — a little over six points a game.

“Which is pretty impressive,” Pavlick said. “Which again, is a tribute to the work he’s put in over the years to get to the point where he’s recognized for this opportunity.”

Nick also plays for Gaffer Elite Lacrosse.

“They’ve done a phenomenal job with these young men and it shows, the hard work shows with these guys and all the work they’ve put in and what they’ve been able to accomplish,” Nick’s father Joe McCabe said of his son’s coaches. “So, thank you for providing that for our youth. Because I think that’s something that doesn’t get recognized all the time. So, thank you again for everything you do for our kids.”

Nick plans to major in Business Administration at the College of Saint Rose.

“Thank you to my friends and my coaches, it definitely wouldn’t have happened without you guys,” Nick said. “Coach, thank you for everything and throughout the years of coaching me and making me the player I am. And thank you to my friends.”

November 17, 2021: Senior Pipher Reid braved the cold to sign her National Letter of Intent to run Cross Country at Syracuse University on Monday, Nov. 15.

Dozens of Pipher’s peers, family members, Chenango Forks faculty and staff, and local media outlets gathered in the high school stadium to celebrate Pipher’s accomplishments. As she’s the most decorated Cross Country runner at in Chenango Forks History, those accomplishments are many.

“Just an absolutely extraordinary career,” Track Coach Jason Motell said Monday. “She does whatever she has to do all the time. She’s literally the greatest distance runner we’ve had in Chenango Forks history. It’s why she’s going to Syracuse University.”

In Cross Country, Pipher is the two-time divisional champion, two-time sectional champion and Broome County COVID Champion. She finished in 11th place at the State Meet two years ago and came in second at the meet this year.

In track, Piper is a seven-time class champion and two-time state meet qualifier in three different events. Last year, she was the small school-champion in the 800-meter run, and the overall sectional champion in the 1,500-meter run. In 2019, she was the small-school champion in the 3,000-meter run.

November 17, 2021: Piper holds the school record in the 800-meter run, 1500-meter run, Steeple Chase and in the 5K.

“The fact is that all of those accomplishments pale in comparison to herself as an individual and what a great person,” Motell said. “And we’re going to miss her next year in Cross Country, but we’ve still got track season to look forward to.”

Pipher plans to study Heath Humanities with the goal of becoming a Pediatric PA.
