In the aftermath of last year’s 89th annual SWNY-NWPA Men’s Golf Amateur, Kyle Henzel was already mulling potential plans for the round-number anniversary that would follow. Perhaps his tournament committee would go big — a two-day qualifier, a father-son event or a celebratory scramble. Or perhaps, in the interest of not fixing what isn’t broken, Henzel and company would make no major changes at all. In the end, they essentially...

Week-long Young Manufacturers event a ‘great success’ Before delivering her “Five Whys” of engineering presentation to an awaiting student group, Katie Kuzniar had envisioned two potential outcomes. In the first, the kids would be disinterested, and she’d be talking to several blank faces. In the second, she’d excitedly point to students, and they would eagerly answer her questions. “It ended up being the second,” said Kuzniar, a mechanical systems engineer...

In late February, just when he was about to begin his 17th season as the Fillmore Central School softball coach, Jon Beardsley was dealt a devastating blow. Beardsley, already an Allegany County coaching icon, was told he had cancer. Upon hearing those dreaded words, the Fillmore athletics leader and physical education teacher could easily, and understandably, have focused solely on his prognosis. Beardsley, however, was more worried about something else...

Heckman becomes 1st female to reach Championship Flight OLEAN, N.Y. — Corey Haas thought that, perhaps, his round had been “good enough.” The defending SWNY-NWPA Men’s Amateur champion picked up where he left off last summer, making three birdies en route to a front-nine 32 during this year’s qualifying round on Wednesday at Bartlett Country Club. After a birdie on No. 10 to reach 4-under, he allowed himself to believe...

RANDOLPH — His start as head coach of the program he’s called home since 2007 was positively, well, Randolph-esque. The Randolph football team, under first-year boss Nate Armella, opened the 2025 season 3-0 and 4-1, including triumphs over Class C Falconer/Cassadaga Valley/Maple Grove and rival Franklinville/Ellicottville. Its only loss in that span came to powerhouse Newfane, which advanced to the New York State Class D Final Four and whose star quarterback,...

SMETHPORT, Pa. — The Smethport football team’s initial goal entering the 2026 season was to be competitive in its league. If last Friday’s 72-29 victory over Otto-Eldred is any indication, the Hubbers are well on their way to checking that box and more. But then, perhaps that objective was too modest to begin with. After all, by any standard, this is a different Smethport team under Ryan Yingling. A year...
