Joelle Pollak's first basket from the field was an historic one Tuesday night. Her

three-pointer with three minutes left in the first quarter broke the all-time Kenmore

East scoring record for boys and girls in a 53-38 win at Niagara-Wheatfield. Pollak

finished with 25 points, giving her 1,451 in her career, putting her ahead of the record set

by Mike O'Bryan in 1993.

Ken East (13-2, 9-2), which got 12 rebounds from Jordyn Broas, hosts Lockport on Friday in

a big Niagara Frontier League showdown.

Chelsea O'Laughlin's three-pointer beat the buzzer to give Lewiston-Porter a 52-51

win over Niagara Falls in NFL play. Lew-Port (8-6, 5-5), which trailed, 22-18, at

halftime, got a team-high 15 points from O'Laughlin.

ECIC I: Hamburg rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to beat

Maple Grove (9-4, 8-3) to a 51-39 win over Panama. Andrea Marsh had 17 points to

lead Panama.

Clymer will walk into Hinsdale on Thursday night coming off one of the

biggest girls basketball victories of the season. The Pirates knocked off Pine Valley

on Monday, 54-45, in a contest played on its home floor. Pine Valley entered the game the No.

1-ranked small school in The Buffalo News poll. The loss was the first of the season for Pine

Valley, dropping the Panthers to 13-1 overall and 11-1 in the league. The win gives Clymer a

share of first place in the league at 10-1 and moves them to 10-3 overall.

Sydney Bennink of Clymer had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Andrea Lictus had 12 points and

11 rebounds. Nikole Lindquist of Pine Valley led all scorers with 25 points.

Akron swimmmers shine

Akron set a league record in the 200-yard freestyle as the foursome of David

Adamczak, Mitch Bramley, Ben Schaefer and Peter Sowinski clocked a time of 1 minute, 31.19

seconds Tuesday at the Niagara-Orleans League individual championships. The old record of

1:31.77 was set by Royalton-Hartland in 1991. The same group also won the 200 medley

relay. Jason Beabout of Roy-Hart was a triple winner in the 200 and 500 freestyles, and the

200 individual medley.

City Honors swim is 11-0

Emma Randell, Fran Cunningham and Sara Rosenblatt won two individual events each and were

on a winning relay as City Honors finished the Syracuse Cup regular season undefeated

after beating Hutch-Tech, 125-82. Each team entered the meet 10-0. Torben Draweit of

Hutch-Tech won two events and was on the winning 200-yard medley relay.

The Centaurs extended their regular-season winning streak to 111 dual meets, a streak that

started in 2000. City Honors looks to win the Syracuse Cup for the 11th year in a row on

Thursday at the All-High meet at Erie Community College.

The Syracuse Cup will be represented at the upcoming Sectionals by City Honors swimmers

Cunningham in the 200 freestyle and its 200 free relay of Cunningham, Anthony Solomon, Anthony

Preotiss and Ryan Lepo.

Border Brawl tonight

The Lancaster wrestling team puts its ECIC I winning streak on the line tonight when

it hosts Clarence in the sixth Border Brawl starting at 6 p.m. The Redskins have won

the title every year since 1994-1995. Both teams enter the dual meet 7-0.

Clarence (20-0 overall) has won the Lockport, Ken-Ton and ECIC Tournaments as well

as the Vesper and Pioneer Duals.

The matchup is expected to be close throughout with both teams trying to avoid giving up

the big points.

Larson on a roll for NT

Brianna Larson continued her record-breaking season Tuesday night. The senior bowler from

North Tonawanda rolled a 258-258-257-773 breaking her own school record for high

series. She rolled 29 strikes in 36 attempts with seven spares.

It's not only the highest in the Niagara Frontier League this season for girls, it also

ties the boys high in the league, held by Nick Byers of NT two weeks ago. It's also the

highest score rolled by a girl this season in Western New York. Her WNY leading average is now

213.76 for 39 games.
