1 week ago7 min read

Alright, hoop heads and sports fans, let's dive into the holiday week slate for Mohawk Valley high school action. Forget the eggnog for a second; from December 22nd right through the 28th, the courts, mats, and rinks across the region are absolutely loaded.We’re talking a full-blown buffet of competition, the kind of week where you need three screens and a caffeine IV just to keep up. It kicks off Monday with a serious bang in boys' hoops.You’ve got Remsen rolling into LaFargeville for a 6:30 tip, and later, a sneaky-good matchup as Carthage heads to Adirondack. Over in Little Falls, Central Valley Academy is looking to make a statement on the road.It’s one of those classic pre-Christmas testers, where you see which teams are really dialed in before the holiday tournaments start popping off. The girls' side is just as stacked, with Phoenix at Whitesboro in a midday clash and a juicy rescheduled game between Sauquoit Valley and Morrisville-Eaton.But the real drama might be on the volleyball courts, where the girls' schedule is a gauntlet—Central Valley Academy at Rome Free Academy at noon, then Whitesboro at New Hartford under the lights at 5:30. It’s a week that separates the contenders from the pretenders, no doubt.Tuesday feels like the calm before the storm, but don’t be fooled. New Hartford at Camden in boys' basketball is a rivalry that always delivers, and over at Jefferson Community College, Vernon-Verona-Sherrill and Indian River face off in a girls' game that could have serious sectional implications later on.The ice hockey scene heats up too, with Clinton traveling to Skaneateles—a trip that’s never easy—and Syracuse-CBA rolling into Whitesboro. It’s the kind of midweek slate where a win can build massive momentum heading into the holiday tournament chaos.Speaking of chaos, let’s fast-forward to the main event: the Downtown Classic at the Nexus Center in Utica. This thing is a beast, sprawling across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.Friday’s boys' bracket sets the tone with Oriskany vs. Westmoreland and the always-physical Clinton vs.Holland Patent showdown. Saturday is an absolute marathon, starting at 9:30 in the morning and running deep into the night.You’ve got Canajoharie vs. Waterville, Whitesboro taking on the mighty Fayetteville-Manlius—a game that’ll tell us a lot about the Warriors' ceiling—and a late-night thriller with New Hartford battling Syracuse-Corcoran.The girls get their turn under the bright lights too, with New Hartford vs. West Genesee on Saturday night and a Sunday feature with Rome Free Academy vs.
