On Friday night Allen Laventure spoke about the crash that killed members of a Chapeconese soccer team at the Onondaga County War Memorial.
In a very class move, Allen Laventure, VP of Sales for the Syracuse Silver Knights, led the crowd in a moment of silent to recognize members of a Brazilian soccer team who were killed during a plane crash in Columbia earlier this week. He mentioned that the tragedy affects the sport from the pro ranks to the recreation leagues.

UNC midfielder Jeremy Kelly scored the game’s lone goal with 13:46 remaining in the first half.
Maybe it was the snow, cold and slick turf; or maybe it was moving the contest to Onondaga Hill, but one thing is certain: Carolina is becoming a stumbling block for Syracuse University sports fans. In March, the men’s basketball team fell short in the NCAA semi finals to the University of North Carolina (UNC), and today , with ACC bragging rights and a shot at the Soccer Cup Final Four at stake, the Tarheels used a physical defense and clock management to outlast the maximum effort of the Orangemen at Onondaga Community College’s David W. Murphy Field. The final score was 1-0.
The two teams battled to a 0-0 double overtime tie in September.

Will Gorman goes (colorful and crazy) on the keyboard.
During last night’s Jazz @ Sitrus show Will Gorman touched up the keys and sang a Stevie Wonder cover, all while showing off his colorful and crazy socks (sans left shoe). Hopefully, the CNY Jazz Arts alum and Nottingham grad will soon become a brand ambassador for a local design company.

MG3 (aka Gardiner, Dekaney and Gorman) provided the perfect Turkey Day detox at the Sitrus Lounge on Friday evening. CNY Jazz’s Larry Luttinger said he hopes to continue the post Thanksgiving segment annually. Things started slow, but by the end of the first set the festive crowd had grown significantly and seemed to revel in the eclectic mix of standards and original compositions.
