ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – There is perhaps no greater coaching legend in the Twin Tiers than Corning’s Bob Streeten.
His resume, unparalleled. His work ethic, unmatched. And, his legacy is truly in a category all his own. For 31 years, Streeten was the head coach of perennial state power, the Corning East High School Trojans and then finished his final two seasons as Corning’s combined coach. In all, Streten produced 90 Division I players and recorded a staggering 544 career victories.

ALBANY — Perhaps the most-anticipated regular-season home game in UAlbany men’s lacrosse history was supposed to take place Friday night. UAlbany and Syracuse have played every year since 2004, a total of 18 matchups that also included first-round NCAA tournament games in 2004 and 2016. None of those 18 games, though, were played in Albany. That was supposed to change Friday night with the programs' 19th meeting.

Today, Hunter Hughes is a senior faceoff specialist for No. 7 men’s lacrosse — but not too long ago, he was a sniper in the United States Marine Corps.
The 29-year-old, who walked onto the men’s lacrosse team his junior year, faced a long journey before he found himself taking face-offs for the Red. Growing up in Thousand Oaks, Calif., Hughes had considered joining the military throughout high school, but never saw himself actually following through.

Thinking of a large class of seniors on his Victor (N.Y.) boys’ lacrosse team, coach Jim Andre is mindful there is no redshirt year in high school sports. A player can’t sit out a year and maintain eligibility.
Victor has 22 seniors on its roster this year, but with mounting coronavirus concerns and the suspension or delay of spring sports across the country, Andre and his team are adjusting to a new reality.

On his first drive to the goal, the Cornell senior attackman gets slammed to the turf at Towson’s Johnny Unitas Stadium. He endures more slashes, pushes and double teams in one quarter than most players could bear in a season. Even when he does find a sliver of space, his shot clangs off the left pipe.
You wouldn’t notice the struggles based on Teat’s expression. Of all his skills — his vision, his passing — his patience might be the most valuable.

The story links below appear to be the final reports from the 2020 lacrosse season. Yesterday was devastating for the entire lacrosse family, which knows no borders. I won't pretend that I am as affected as 99% of you that visit JustLacrosse, or that follow us on Twitter or are our friends on Facebook. As much as I participate in watching and sharing the comings and goings in lacrosse every day, I still can't imagine the heartbreak players and coaches at all levels are feeling today.
While I expect our role will slow for the foreseeable future, JustLacrosse Upstate will continue to follow events as they happen. For national news I urge you to look to US Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse. Our focus on Upstate lacrosse will sharpen, and I urge the Upstate family to help us by sending us any news they feel is important to share.
We will take this time to make some tweaks to JustLscrosse that will make us more efficient, more concise, and easier to navigate. This is also a great opportunity for you to help in that effort by making suggestions you've perhaps thought about but never got around to sharing. What would you like to see more of? Is out NLL coverage really necessary? Would you like more coverage of Upstate natives and alums as they pursue their pro careers?
In the meantime, stay safe, keep caring about your neighbor, and keep practicing. And remember the 14th annual St. Baldrick's Day in Oswego County on March 29th.
