Leading off today: Pleasantville boys lacrosse coach Gregg Cavaluzzi has resigned after three seasons, but he's apparently not done with the sport,
The Journal News reported.
Pleasantville was Cavaluzzi's second head coaching job. From 2001-2003, he coached at Ridgefield (Conn.), where he won a state title. Cavaluzzi said he has applied for Horace Greeley's lacrosse job, which became available after Roy Colsey resigned. From the department of coincidences, Colsey recently applied for the vacant Ridgefield job.
"The kids, the district, the school were all great," Cavaluzzi told the paper. "I needed to take most of the summer to make this decision. There were just too many outside distractions that made it difficult for me to do my job coaching."
Candor names football coach: Candor has promoted eight-year assistant Mike Swartz to head football coach, The Ithaca Journal reported.
Swartz, 34, is a Candor graduate who inherits a team coming off a 7-2 season and has several key players returning. Wayne Aman had resigned as coach earlier in the year in anticipation of the birth of a child.
