Here are some photos from the opening night of the Peppino’s Tournament at Henninger High School last night. In the first game, Westhill and Tyler Reynolds outlasted Jamesville-Dewitt (JD) 81-60. In the second game, the host school Henninger, came from behind to beat Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) 78-72.

Duke & The Cuse: Synergy

Monday, February 3rd, 2014

After a great weekend of sports, particularly for Syracuse, we forget that before there was a rivalry between SU & Duke, there was collaboration. Coach Boeheim successfully worked with Coach K during the Olympics, and ESPN commentators such as Jay Bilas (Duke grad) worked with SU grads.

Bilas, speaking here during a forum at SU’s Newhouse School, takes time to indirectly show some love to SU’s journalism program.

Loving (just enough for) the City

Mozart from Philly (now residing in Syracuse)

Mozart from Philly (now residing in Syracuse)

One of the best elements that make up the city are immigrants. Not just folks from other nations,  but those from other states as well.  Immigrants bring their idioms, swagger, energy and experiences to add to the Syracuse stew.

We previously heard about the power of Mozart Guerrier from some students we met this summer, but last night was the first time we caught him in performance.  He was the featured poet at last night’s Open Mic for the Underground Poetry Spot, which was held at 601 Tully (aka the Treehouse).

Part of Mozart’s slam list included a humorous appreciation of Coach Jim Boeheim, a shout out to Amiri Baraka, and also a verbal ode to the beauty of living and loving in cities. We suggest contacting Seneca Wilson and the Underground Poetry Spot to hear the poem about cities (there was video).

Mozart’s compositions, movements and performance certainly lived up to the hype.

It was good to see slam poetry percolating on the Near Westside.

Carlemo Anthony visits Wilson Park for Courts for Kids Event in Syracuse

When you’re hot, you’re hot.

A swarm of fans surrounded NBA star Carmelo Anthony  when he visited Syracuse’s Wilson Park for a Courts for Kids event yesterday. Anthony was certainly the people’s choice in a group of celebrities that included Hall of Famers, TV personalities, politicians, business personalities and former pro athletes.

The Courts for Kids Program plans to renovate courts in Syracuse, Baltimore, Denver and Puerto Rico. Yesterday’s event was organized in conjunction with the Jim Boeheim Foundation and the Dorsey Levens Foundation.
