From contributor Dick Miller, here's what our grads from Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown are up to in college sports. This week's spotlight on Jamie Bucci:
In the final game of her first year as the starting right fielder for the Cortland Red Dragons' softball team, freshman Jamie Bucci of Sleepy Hollow had a bunt single which scored a run that tied the game with Tufts University, 5-5, in a game to decide who would be the N.C.A.A. Division III champion. Tufts eventually pushed over one more run that gave the Jumbos the 6-5 victory and the title.ÂHave something to announce in local sports action?
