The Empire State Games are back this summer after a one year absence and SportsFive is planning to provide extensive coverage of the games which will be run in Buffalo from July 21st to 25th.

Last year's games, scheduled for the Hudson Valley, were cancelled due to funding issues last summer but are back and will be held in venues around Buffalo this July. SportsFive has a long history of providing the only full coverage of the summer games.

"We hope to secure sponsorship again this year so that we can provide the coverage," said Paul Wilson. "Our 2008 coverage from Binghamton was viewed by thousands of people and still gets hits today. The same is true of the 2007 games from Hudson Valley. We hope we can provide the same level of detail, and add, perhaps, some new feature."

SportsFive is hoping to find a couple of companies to help with the cost. Those sponsorships, along with donations, will ensure that the games will be well documented. Interested parties should contact Coach Wilson.
