Chante’ Moore on stage with J. Black at Juneteenth
We are not sure if the NBA Finals are rigged, as many are saying, but if last night’s show at Juneteenth was any indication, there is a possibility that we can all (fans of each team) just get along. With a grain of irony, Bay-area native Chante’ Moore just happened to choose J. Black (who was wearing a Lebron jersey and Cavs cap), to join her on stage for a personal performance.
Mexico’s Greatest: Julio César Chávez Sr. was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.
Mullet Thursday: NBT Bank Stadium (Chiefs v. Norfolk)

The start of baseball in Syracuse signals spring and new beginnings. Despite the team’s record in April we are always hopeful.
This year the Syracuse Chiefs did a great job selecting SU grad student Lena Pringle as the on-air announcer. Her spirited attitude and passion for the team and our region are just what we need in times like these. Sometimes we need to see someone else zealous about the things we take for granted.
If Jason Smorol is Mr. Excitement for the Chiefs, Pringle is definitely Ms. Enthusiasm.
In business we’d call this a strategic fit.
Pringle: Straight Outta South Carolina.
Hyped: Pringle gave her all during a promotion in the mid-innings of a day game vs. Buffalo and fans responded.
James Street
Tyler Sullivan (23) of Liverpool was injured during this drive early in the first quarter of the Section III (Class AA) final yesterday. He came back briefly but then sat on the bench for the second half. Bishop Ludden beat Liverpool 49-37.
Prelude to a championship: Students cheer on Bishop Grimes players as the second half begins for the Section 3 Championship game against Syracuse Academy of Science.

Syracuse’s Carrier Dome
About a decade ago there was a big push to prepare the city (more hotel rooms) and the Dome (better press box) to host a NCAA final four. Now we have more hotels rooms, but is the Dome is ready? In the past few years, there has been another public discussion to either repair the Dome or build a new multi-sports facility.
Our question is this…as various teams and conferences around the country play college football bowl games in the next few days, when will Syracuse host a bowl contest? We’d love to see an annual bowl game featuring HBCUs (and their dazzling bands), mid-majors or even smaller colleges.
Syracuse provides world-class shopping. There is free bus service from most hotels in the city to the steps of the Dome, and in the past few years we’ve even had great weather in late December.
This would be a great precursor to a Final Four award from the NCAA. Bring on the Wegmans Bowl.
What’s the hold up?
CBA swingman Charles Pride is an expert at slashing to the hoop. He had 16 points last night in a win against Jameville-Dewitt.
Christian Brother’s Academy will play host to Westhill tonight in the final of the Bottar Leone Holiday Classic tonight.
Ryan Roland of Westhill will look to fill it up from the three point line against CBA tonight. Roland scored 20 points, viagra including three 3’s, to help his team down Henninger last night.
