Division I

Livonia Lady Bulldogs

Coach- Corrine Donals (2nd season)
Last year- 19-4-0 (Class B state champs) Key Returners- Kaitlin Moran (Sr., middie); Leah Kramer (Sr., middie); Jessica Butterbrodt (Sr., defense); Sydney DeVito (Jr., keeper); Katie Kurtz (Sr., defense); Katie Horan (Sr., mid/for); Maggie Malinowski (Sr., mid/def); Brooke Mallaber (Soph., defense).
Top Newcomers- Hannah Conine (Soph., keeper); Kaylie Ewers (Soph., stopper); Holli Pierce (Soph., forward); Elizabeth Ehmann (Soph., forward).
Coach’s Quote- “Livonia has the good fortune to be gifted with another talented team. We plan on returning to the state championship in Cortland because we cannot find any reasons not too.”
LCN Notes- It sounds as if coach Donals is already making her hotel reservations to SUNY Cortland, and why not? The Lady Bulldogs return four starters from last year’s state title team including the best sweeper in the state in the senior Butterbrodt, who also tallied eight goals with three assists a year ago. Also back is big game scoring senior Moran, who tallied seven goals with five assists including the game-winning goal in the state title game. Also returning to score some goals are Mallaber, who had four last year, and Kramer, who netted three. Junior keeper DeVito posted 130 saves a season ago and her big game experience will be a major plus. Not only did the Lady Bulldogs win the state title last year, they also captured the NYS Class B Sportsmanship award. There’s no reason to think this group can’t repeat.

Dansville Lady Mustangs

Coach- Matt Ras (4th season)
Last Year- 1-16-2
Key Returners- Courtney Cannon (Sr.); Ryan Doerr (Jr.); Niki Debell (Jr.); Katie Horr (Sr.); Erika Gross (Jr.); Brittany Rauber (Jr.).
Top Newcomers- Margaret Infantino (Jr.); Nessa Mark (Fresh.); Abby Keogan (Soph.); Daelyn Schaffer (Soph.).
Coach’s Quote- “We have a young and talented team. It should be a very promising year and should be a lot of fun to see them grow. Offensively, we didn't lose anything, so we have to concentrate on moving the ball and finishing, and I think this group can do it. On defense, we lost a goalie and four starters so we have some holes that we really need to fill. As for the league, we know that we'll have to fight for everything we can. We'll need to earn what we get along those lines and it won't be easy.”
LCN Notes- The Lady Mustangs only managed one victory a year ago, a 4-0 victory over Cuba-Rushford. They finished the season with 11 straight losses but their final two games they lost by just one goal so there was an obvious improvement throughout the season. DeBell, Cannon and Gross each led the team a year ago with two goals. Playing in a tough league won’t help much, but look for this group to make a run at five wins.

Bath Lady Rams

Coach- Tuesday Mishook (5th season)
Last year- 9-8-2 (Lost to Hornell in Class BB semifinals) Key Returners- Leah Bates (Sr., Forward); Sarah VanGelder (Sr., Midfielder); Kristin Haight (Sr., Goalie); Leah Fuerst (Jr., Forward); Elisabeth Hall (Jr., Defender); Ashley Brown (Soph., Defender); Nikki Murat (Soph., Defender).
Top Newcomers- Emily Martin (Jr., Forward); Courtney Kiff (Jr., Midfielder); Andrea Townsend (Soph., Defender); Rachel Oest (Fresh., Midfielder).
Coach’s Quote- “After losing a large group of last year’s team to graduation, this group of young ladies have been working extremely hard in the off-season and also during pre-season training. We are definitely excited to get the season started and look forward to competing in the LCAA.”
LCN Notes- A solid sectional run gave last year’s Lady Rams some confidence. Leading scoring junior Fuerst is back and so is her 11 goals and two assists from a year ago. Senior Bates is also back with her four goals and two dimes. Look for a solid season at midfield from senior VanGelder while classmate Haight will guard the posts after making 125 saves a year ago. This is a team that could really come into its own by season’s end, thanks to a head start with plenty of summer soccer. Once the newcomers learn the system and blend well with the veterans, things could get interesting for this fall’s Lady Rams.

Hornell Lady Raiders

Coach- Sandy Hillman (1st season)
Last year- 14-5-1 (lost in Class BB title game to Livonia) Key Returners- Jordan Brungard (Sr., mid/for); Katie Mauro (Sr., forward); Colleen Clair (Sr., defense); Breannah Thurston (Sr., keeper); Shawna McNeil (Sr., mid/for).
Top Newcomers- Alexandra Argentieri (Jr., defense); Catherine Kuhn (Jr., defense); Emily Bergquist (Jr., defense).
Coach’s Quote- “We will be a young team because of the loss of seven key starters from last year's squad, but we will work hard in every contest and look to finish strong.”
LCN Notes- Coach Yvonne Knataitis stepped down after 35 seasons and Sandy Hillman will take over. Last year’s season ended with a heartbreaking last second loss in the Class BB title game to eventual state champion Livonia. That hurt plenty for the Red Raiders’ faithful.
Only four starters return from that team including Brungard, who scored
12 goals with seven assists and Mauro, who added four goals and eight assists. Clair, who had three assists a year ago, will anchor the defense as Thurston moves to the keeper position where she got minimal time a year ago. This team is going to need some time to gel but a 12-win season is not out of the question.

Way-Co Lady Eagles

Coach- Julie Martin
Last Year- 5-13-2 (Lost to Livonia in Class BB quarters).
Key Returners- Devin Snyder (Sr., mid/for); Sara James (Sr., keeper/def); Laura Cotter (Sr., mid/for); Cassie Bartlett (Sr., defense); Erica Moose (Sr., middie); Terin Brown (Jr., forward); Leslie Havens (Jr., forward); Meaghan Henchen (Jr., defense); Ally Sick (Jr., defense); Bailey Hill (Jr., mid/for); Melissa Lincoln (Soph., mid/for); Alyssa Englert (Soph., keeper).
Top Newcomers- Aimee Hopkins (Jr.); Mary Booth (Jr.); Katelyn White (Jr.); Laura Kahn (Soph.); Stephanie Smith (Soph.); Jamie Roche (Soph.).
Coach’s Quote- “We've been working very hard so far and those scrimmages will hopefully tell us where we still need work and might indicate any changes we may need to make. Hopefully, we'll have everybody in position by the time the season starts instead of moving girls around in the midst of the season. We know the league will be tough, but we have some athleticism and some talent that should make us competitive with many of the teams we'll be battling throughout the season.”
LCN Notes- Leading scorer Brown returns after scoring seven markers last year. Lincoln and Cotter each return with four goals. Those three will be counted on to tickle the twine this season as well. The sophomore Englert will take over the keeping duties. The defense should be very solid with Englert between the posts and seniors James and Bartlett along with juniors Sick and Henchen helping her out. Don’t be surprised if this team wins 10 games.

HF-L Lady Cougars

Coach- Chrissy Merrill (2nd season)
Last year- 14-5-1 (Lost in Class A semis to Victor)
Key Returners- Beth Allport (Sr., forward, 29G, 10A); Ashley Valenti
(Sr., keeper); Laura Muehleisen (Sr., defender); Sierra Marchese (Jr.,
forward, 8G, 5A); Melissa Plain (Jr., midfield); Katie Dykes (Soph.,
midfield); Anna LeGrett (Soph., midfield); Amelia Vojt (Soph., defender).
Coach’s Quote- “We are returning the majority of our team, but we lost
some key players. We will be looking for our veterans as well as some
younger players to step up this season.”
LCN Notes- The HF-L tradition of solid girls’ soccer should continue
again this year. The senior Allport is one of the top players in Section
V and she returns along with her team-leading 29 goals and 10 assists.
Last year Allport was named Livingston County Player of the Year.
Allport should get some scoring help from the junior Marchese, who
netted eight goals with five assists a year ago. The defense will be
anchored between the posts by three-year starter Valenti, a capable
keeper who last year allowed just 13 goals in 18 games (90% save
percentage). She also posted 10 shutouts and was an LCAA All-Star. The
senior Muehleisen will help the Lady Cougars’ defense while the junior
Plain is a top returner at midfield. Both Muehleisen and Plain were both
named LCAA Honorable Mention a year ago. A tough 2-1 loss to Victor in
the sectional semifinals should motivate this squad.

Metcalf Predictions- 1) Livonia; 2) HF-L; 3) Bath; 4) Hornell; 5)
Way-Co; 6) Dansville

Division II

Avon Lady Braves

Coach- Scott Forrest (5th season)
Last year- 10-10 (Lost to Bloomfield in Class CC quarters).
Key Returners- Emily Bruckel (Sr., Forward); Kailey Griffith (Sr.,
Forward); Britanee Vallone (Sr., Midfielder); Lindsay Schwab (Jr.,
Forward); Marcy Manning (Jr., Defense); Catherine Lloyd (Jr., Keeper).
Top Newcomers- Maureen Freeman (Jr., Midfielder); Ali Schillinger (Jr.,
Midfielder); Emily Kostraba (Sr., Midfielder); Ali Holmes (Sr., Defense).
Coach’s Quote- “We have four returning starters, but we have many
players returning who gained valuable experience playing last year. Our
team will be lead by our three captains Emily Bruckel, Kailey Griffith,
and Britanee Vallone. With any new starters we are looking for continued
improvement throughout the season.”
LCN Notes- The Lady Braves’ program took strides last year as they
captured 10 games while playing several close contests throughout the
year. Back in action this fall will be senior striker Bruckel, who
brings back a team-leading seven goals and six assists, along with
classmate middie Vallone, who returns with six goals and six assists.
The junior Schwab will look to top her six goals and five dimes from
last year while senior Griffith will add some scoring punch. The defense
will be anchored by junior Manning as well as the junior keeper Lloyd
who recorded 95 saves a year ago.

Letchworth Lady Indians

Coach- Peter Bub (18th season).
Last year- 8-12 (Lost to Marion in Class CC quarters).
Key Returners- Christine Bub (Jr., middie); Darcy James (Jr., defense);
Lauren Osborn (Soph., middie); Katie Connolly (Jr., middie); Kelsey
Greene (Jr., middie); Bridgette Fagan Sr., defense); Chelsea Carmichael
(Fresh., forward).
Top Newcomers- Holly Hosmer (Sr., keeper); Jennifer Bub (Fresh.,
defense); Lindsey Richardson (Fresh., forward); Sam Johnson (Fresh.,
defense); Gabrielle Roberts (7th-grade, mid/for); Cassie McClurg
(Fresh., middie).
Coach’s Quote- “This team has a ton of potential. With a strong passion
for the game, and desire to continually improve, this team will
continually get stronger as we get farther into the season. With
confidence, good team unity, and leadership, this team will be
successful in many contests. I really like the way this team
communicates and works together. This is a recipe for a successful season.”
LCN Notes- With two seventh graders, two eighth graders and five
freshmen on the roster, this will be a very, very youthful team as head
coach Peter Bub enters his 18th season, after helping the Lady Indians
to eight wins last year. His top player is junior daughter Christine,
who scored six goals with eight assists a year ago to earn first team
LCAA honors at her midfield spot. The freshman Carmichael added seven
goals and will help the scoring punch. Also back is LCAA first teamer
James, who had a huge year at defense. Her presence will be counted on
to keep the opposition’s top scorer at bay. The senior Hosmer posted 21
saves in limited action between the posts. Look for this group to nail
down a 12-win season, despite their youth.

Pavilion Lady Gophers

Coach- Nicole Wittmeyer
Last year- 10-9 (Lost to Alexander in Class CC first round).
Key Returners- Hannah Norton (Sr., Goalie); Kate Brooks (Sr.,
Midfielder/Defense); Kristi Jeffres (Sr., Defense); Amanda Hoffmiester
(Sr., Forward/Midfielder); Crystal Poblocki (Jr., Midfielder/Forward);
Emily Hoffmeister (Soph., Midfielder/Defense); Amie Brooks (Soph.,
Midfielder/Defense); Alex Wood (Sr., Defense).
Top Newcomers- Ali Ghise (Soph., Forward/Midfielder); Sarah Welch
(Soph., Forward/Midfielder); Morgan Smith (Jr., Defense); Kailey Meeder
(Soph., Defense); Megan Sprague (Sr., Defense); Kelsey Mattice (Jr.,
Forward); Kasey Cole (Jr., Forward).
Coach’s Quote- “Despite being relatively young, this year’s team will be
competitive. Our goal is to improve on last season’s record but also
improve and build the program. We have a talented and intense group of
players moving up this season. I am confident that several of them will
step right into their roles and become key players. Every game will be a
challenge but this group of ladies works hard day in and day out and has
a great deal of heart. We have a close-knit, solid core of returning
players as well who are extremely committed and dedicated to winning.
The leadership of these returning players will be vital to our overall
success.”
LCN Notes- After posting 10 wins a year ago, this Lady Gophers team is
back and looking for a banner campaign. Losing their top two scorers
from a year ago won’t help but Kate Brooks returns for her final season
after scoring six goals and dishing out six dimes last year. She’ll get
some scoring help from Amanda Hoffmiester, who netted three goals and 11
assists in ‘06. The defense will be led by the senior Jeffres as well as
Emily Hoffmeister and Amie Brooks. The senior Norton (35 saves) will
take over for Andrea Archibald (192 saves). This team has several fine
athletes and they could make a run at the D-II title.

Cal-Mum Lady Raiders

Coach- Chad Schalk (3rd season)
Last year- 20-3 (Class CCC champs)
Key Returners- Jessica Jones (Sr., Defense); Jordan Pringle (Sr.,
Forward); Stephanie Aurand (Sr., Goalie); Ashley White (Sr., Forward);
Sarah Rath (Sr., Midfielder); Kristen Hume (Jr., Forward).
Top Newcomers- Jane Schweichler (Soph., Forward); Kelly Cornwell (Jr.,
Defense); Melanie Johnson (Soph., Goalie/Defense); Christina Harmon
(Jr., Defense).
Coach’s Quote- “Last year was special and we lost some great athletes,
but with 12 seniors and some talented newcomers we believe we can
compete again for the title. That's our goal each year and we understand
how hard we have to work to win it again. Especially when you have to
play LeRoy twice, York, and Livonia. The girls understand that this is a
new year and the title is again anyone's to win.”
LCN Notes- The Lady Red Raiders have gone back to back with sectional
championships but the loss of Eric Conte (36 goals, 17 assists) will
hurt deeply. But like coach Schalk says, they have 12 returners and some
skillful newcomers so a three-peat isn’t out of the question. The bread
and butter to this year’s team will be defense. The senior Jones is a
two-time LCAA All-Star while classmate Aurand posted 129 saves and 11
shutouts last year. Add in some solid midfield play by Rath (3 G, 8A).
The offense will be led by the senior Pringle, who had 12 goals and
eight assists, and the junior Hume, who tallied 12 goals and five
assists. Look for the senior White to add to her total of two goals and
10 assists from a year ago. This program can make it a three-peat if
things go their way.

Perry Lady Yellowjackets

Coach- Rick Steiner
Last year- 5-12 (Lost in Class C first round)
Key Returners- Melanie Bonarski (Sr., Midfielder); Kaitlyn Coons (Sr.,
Defense); Jackie Ralph (Sr., Midfielder); Sara Wright (Sr., Midfielder);
Samantha Smithgall (Jr., Goalie); Natalie Sylvester (Jr., Goalie).
Top Newcomers- Samantha Myers (Jr., Midfielder).
Coach’s Quote- “We have a relatively young team with eight of 20 players
returning from last season. Samantha Smithgall and Natalia Sylvester
both return as keepers from last year’s team. Sara Wright is in her
third season on varsity.”
LCN Notes- Last year’s Lady Yellowjackets had major problems scoring
goals as they tallied just 18 goals in 17 games, and only 12 goals after
the first game of the season. The keeping duties should be fine this
season with Smithgall (82 saves in ‘06) and Sylvester (68 saves in ‘06)
bringing back some solid experience. The midfield looks tough with
seniors Bonarski, Ralph and Wright leading the way.

Le Roy Lady Knights

Coach- Beth Luckey
Last year- 16-5-0 (Class B champs)
Key Returners- Reilly Condidorio (Sr., for); Danielle Merica (Sr.,
mid/for); Laurel Presher (Jr., defense); Meghan Humphrey (Sr., middie);
Brittany Luckey (Jr., middie); Katelyn Beck (Sr., keeper/def); Megan
Lowe (Jr., keeper/mid).
Top Newcomers- Rachel Hayward (fresh., forward); Kara Miller (Soph.,
mid/for); Jasmine Poles (Soph., for).
LCN Notes- This team will go as far as the senior Condidorio will take
them. Probably the best returning player in the LCAA, last year the
speedy Condidorio helped the Lady Knights to the Class B title as she
scored 28 goals and dished out four assists. This will be her fourth
varsity season. Also back is top middie junior Luckey who led the LCAA
last year with 18 assists. Luckey, a talented player, is also a fourth
year starter. Look out for returners in senior Humphrey and junior
Presher, who combined for four goals and 19 assists in ‘06. The team
will need someone to step in at keeper with the loss of Alissa Fodge,
who recorded 140 saves and allowed just 12 goals last year. This is a
team that could make a serious run at the big prize.

Metcalf Predictions- 1) Le Roy; 2) Cal-Mum; 3) Pavilion; 4) Letchworth;
5) Avon; 6) Perry

Division III

York Lady Knights

Coach- Victor Van Vliet (15th season).
Last year- 23-1-1 (Class C state champions)
Key Returners- Jessalyn Gates (Jr., mid/for); Ashley Santillo (Sr.,
mid/for); Jenelle Schirmer (Sr., forward); Brittany Cope (Sr., defense);
Abby Truax (Jr., forward); Hannah Briggs (Sr., defense); Kelsey Leach
(Jr., middie); Fiona Lowry (Sr., def/mid); Melissa Homner (Sr.,
defense); Leslie Skeffington (Jr., def/mid); Jenna Carson (Soph., forward).
Top Newcomers- Kaci MacIntyre (Jr., keeper); Becca Templeton; Sheena
Turybury.
LCN Notes- With four starters back including Gates, Santillo, Schirmer
and Cope, don’t count this group out just yet. But losing goal scorers
Lisa Skeffington, Amber Burdick, Nicole Truax and Jordy Barnhart means
that the Lady Knights lost 70 goals from a year ago. Also losing
three-time LCAA All-Star keeper Alecia Wright won’t help. The junior
MacIntyre will take over for Wright after helping the JV team post an
undefeated season a year ago.

Geneseo Lady Blue Devils

Coach- Jay Didas (1st season)
Last year- 9-6 (Lost to HAC in Class C quarters)
Key Returners- Sara Bono (Soph., forward); Taylor Gibbs (Sr., midfield);
Sara Kenney (Sr., defense); Nicole Kingston (Sr., keeper); Laura Pavone
(Fresh., middie).
Top Newcomers- Erin Adonnino (Fresh., middie); Madelyn Bruckel (Soph.,
forward); Sierra Ellis (Soph., middie); Rachel Frost (Soph., middie);
Licelott Hernandez (Sr., forward); Ramize Hyseni (Jr., forward);
Stephanie Mackey (Soph., defense); Becca Mullin (Soph., middie);
Katherine Olverd (Jr., forward); Brynn Young (Soph., keeper/defense);
Molly Root (Soph., defense); Ines Donabaum (Sr., middie).
Coach’s Quote- “This is my first year coaching the Lady Devils and the
team is young, but we do have players who are very skilled. We should
pull together nicely this year to be a formidable team.”
LCN Notes- Last year’s Lady Devils’ team had the talent to win it all
but a close quarterfinal loss to HAC would doom their dreams. Gone are
12 seniors from that team. The top returner is sophomore forward Bono,
who led the team with 14 goals and two assists. She should get some
scoring help from the senior Gibbs, who tallied three goals and three
assists from the midfield last year. Look for freshman Adonnino along
with classmate pavone to mind the midfield. The defense will be led by
seniors Kenney and Kingston. Kingston will get the keeping duties. Last
year she saw limited time guarded the posts behind her sister Courtney.
This team has the ability to make a run at 12 victories. They don’t have
the firepower to play with the likes of York, but they have enough
talent to beat the rest of their division foes.

Mount Morris Lady Devils

Coach- Mark Brado (1st season)
Last Year- 1-16-2
Key Returners- Bridgett Buchanan (Sr., forward); Christina Horr (Sr.,
forward); Terra Swift (Soph., middie); Brianna Rawleigh (Sr., defense);
Kaylee Leone (Jr., keeper); Lauren Berger (Sr., middie).
Top Newcomers- Brittany Uhl (Jr., defense); Darian Edlen (Jr., middie);
Ashley Koerner (Jr., defense); Sophie Lonsberry (Fresh., middie); Anna
Brado (7th-grade, forward); Rebecca Weitzel (Jr., defense); Courtney
Wolcik (Jr., middie); Lianna Spicciatti (Soph., defense); Stephanie
Little (Jr., defense).
Coach’s Quote- “We have the potential to surprise some teams this year.”
LCN Notes- Last year’s team was outscored 71-6 so hopefully that won’t
be the case this fall as the Lady Devils prepare for their opener.
Seniors Buchanan and Horr each led the Lady Devils with two goals and
they will need that total to go up this fall. Leone takes over for the
graduated Sarah Schultz who posted a school-record 290 saves a year ago.
Don’t expect miracles this fall but solid numbers is a step in the right
direction.

Warsaw Lady Tigers

Coach- Leslie Rowley (1st season)
Last Year- 0-17-1
Key Returners- Linsey Hathaway (Sr., Midfield); Holly Atkinson (Sr.,
Midfield); Brandie Fox (Sr., Midfield); Reilly Baker (Sr., Forward);
Emily Carlson (Sr., Defense); Jonica Walton (Sr., Midfield); Kelsey
James (Sr., Defense); Beth Reagan (Jr., Defense); Courtney Bishop (Jr.,
Defense).
Top Newcomers- Kristi Weaver (Sr., Defense); Amber Fox (Jr., Goalie);
Danielle Petre (Jr., Forward); Stephanie Smpkowski (Jr., Midfield);
Maureen Gburek (Jr., Forward); Haley Tangeman (Forward); Stephanie
Simard (Defense); Alicia Barone (Fresh., Defense).
Coach’s Quote- “The coaching staff is optimistic about the upcoming
season. We have an experienced team with nine returning seniors. We also
have a strong group of new athletes that can be expected to make
significant contributions to the varsity program.”
LCN Notes- Leslie Rowley takes over for Al Fultz as head coach. Going
winless, and scoring just two goals in ‘06 certainly didn’t do much for
the Lady Tigers’ confidence but with nine returning seniors, that win
total, and goal total, is sure to rise. Amy Nowak scored the lone two
goals in ‘06, but she is gone to graduation. The midfield looks solid
with seniors Hathaway, Atkinson and Fox all returning to the lineup.
Senior Baker along with juniors Petre and Gburek will be counted on for
some scoring. A four-to-five win season would be a huge step in the
right direction.

Keshequa Lady Indians

Coach- Todd Isaman
Last year- 8-10 (Lost to Wheatland-Chili in Class C quarters).
Key Returners- Catherine Mucha (Soph., forward); Rissa Smith (Soph.,
for/mid); Charise Gelser (Jr., for/mid); Kayla Beardsley (Jr.,
midfield); Marissa Underwood (Sr., midfield); Lauren Morris (Sr.,
mid/for); Anna Mucha (Sr., defense); Breannah Smith (Soph., defense);
Meghan Lowell (Sr., keeper); Riley Adams (Sr., for/mid); Rhiannon Boehm
(Sr., defense).
Top Newcomers- Sydney Sullivan (Jr., midfield); Courtney Curry (Jr.,
defense); Alicia Halpenny (Jr., def/mid); Michelle Montgomery (Soph.,
for/mid); Adele Zeh (Jr., def/mid); Ashley Hark (Jr., def/mid); Chrysta
Giles (Jr., def/for); Felicia Gregg (Sr., def/for).
Coach’s Quote- “We have a good mix of experience and youth. The girls
have worked really hard in the off-season. They worked all winter with
indoor and had a good summer league experience. They are very excited
about the upcoming season and are working hard in their preparation. Our
defense should be solid led by Anna Mucha in the back. Marissa Underwood
will lead our midfield and a possibility of two sophomores starting up top.”
LCN Notes- Nine starters return so this could be a big year for the Lady
Indians, who captured eight games a year ago. Returning to this year’s
squad is sophomores Mucha and Rissa Smith, both whom tallied nine goals
a year ago. The junior Gelser is also back after scoring six goals with
five assists in ‘06. Junior Beardsley added three goals a year ago while
senior Underwood, who was an LCAA All-Star from her midfield spot, also
tallied three goals. The senior Morris added one goal and four assists
while classmate Mucha is a returning all-star at her sweeper spot. The
senior Lowell recorded 152 saves and allowed 28 goals last year. This is
a team that could make a serious run at 14 wins.

Metcalf Predictions- 1) York; 2) Keshequa; 3) Geneseo; 4) Warsaw; 5)
