No. 10 Hendrick Hudson took on host No. 7 Horace Greeley in the opening round of the Section 1 Division 2 ice-hockey playoffs Feb. 20 at the Brewster Ice Arena with the Quakers winning 5-3.

While it's certainly sad to see a season end, it was a great accomplishment for the Sailors to qualify for the sectionals and play such a competitive postseason contest in their first season as a Section 1 program.

Pump track

The City of Peekskill is looking into having a pump track.

After group of local volunteers from the Westchester Mountain Biking Association offered to help the City of Peekskill build a pump track in the area, city staff had to do some research to understand what a pump track is and how it is made.

To see what that is all about, check out editor Liz Giegerich's very interesting story here.
