IRONDEQUOIT
Last year Irondequoit tied with
Fairport for the number 2 spot in the Monroe County-1 league
with a 7-3 league record and at 12-5 over all.
Seeded 3rd in the Class A tournament, the Eagles lost in overtime
(10-9) to Penfield in the semifinals and junior midfielder,
Cory Bottiglier was named to the All Tournament Team.
The Eagles were third in offense (9.9
goals/games) in Section Five and second in defense, allowing
only 9.8 goals per game.
Nine players graduated including four first team all-league
players. Gone are Craig Lepiane (mid) (MCC), Jon Timkey (att),
John Hanss (def) and goalie, Bill Buttaro. Also gone is 2nd
team attackman, Jim Mikel (Siena).
Buttaro will be hard to replace in the goal, but no less than
three players are competing for the spot. Seniors Curt Boshnater
and Dylan Crary or sophomore Zack Nash will win the position
or a perhaps Coach Pratt will use some combination of the
three. Certainly Timkey and Mikel will be missed in the attack
but expect Derek Pino to be strong and newcomers Joe Parker
and Andrew Hart will be trying to earn starting positions.
Although the attack and goal may take some tweaking, there
is great depth and experience in the midfield and defense.
Senior midfielders Sean Doyle, Zack Pixley and Cory Bottiglier
will be joined by juniors Mickey Haight and Aaron Bottazzo
(who may also play in attack) and they will be formidable
on both ends of the field.
In the defense, seniors Dan Nielsen, Kyle Byron and Dave Wesolowski
return with defensive middies,
Jake Schindler, Nick Kane and Joe Mason. Newcomers Kyle Sarbou
and Ryan Cordero will add depth to the defense.
Don't count Irondequoit out in any game this year. They are
an intense group with a strong tradition and are capable of
great moments.

FAIRPORT Fairport
tied Irondequoit for the number 2 spot in the Monroe County-1
league with a 7-3 record and ended 2004 with a 10-8 record.
The Red Raiders were seeded number five
in the Class A tournament and beat Pittsford 11-6 in the quarter
finals before loosing to Canandaigua 10-4 in the semi finals.
Senior defenseman, Shawn McLaughlin received All Tournament
Team honors and he and senior attackman, Pat Van Hall were
selected to the all league team.
The Raiders lost 11 players to graduation
including Van Hall (Marist) and McLaughlin. Also lost were
attackmen William Durdell and Nicholas Bryan (Potsdam) and
goalie, Sean Miller (Geneseo).
This year's squad will be young with only
eight seniors on the team of thirty-four. In the attack, junior
Pat Reilly and sophomore Mike Danylyshyn return and may be
joined by junior newcomers Gary Baier and Pete Burkhartt.
Midfield has the greatest depth for the
Red Raiders with senior Chris Lindner, juniors Ryan Lowe,
Jake Fricano, Brian Sanna, and Jeff Sanna and sophomore Tom
Rynn returning.
Senior Steve Hislop and junior Geoff Cook
return in defense and may be joined by sophomore Brent Jacobs.
Regardless of age, second year Head
Coach, Mike Torrelli has selected some tough out of league
games including defending the Class A Champions from Orchard
Park (Section Six) and the Class B Champions from Corning
East (Section 4). Add to these, tough games with Penn Yan
and Canandaigua and the Red Raiders will be challenged. The
quality of these opponents along with a very difficult MC-1
league schedule will keep Fairport on their toes and may help
to prepare them for the rigors of the sectional tournament.

|
| Team Strengths: | Offense will be very strong this year but still very young.
This is a very hard working and coachable group.They have the potential to be a very good team by the end of the season.
|
|
| Team Weaknesses: | Very young and inexperienced on the defensive side. With Only 8 Seniors out of 34 players this is a very young team.
Schedule could be a factor with non-league games against Orchard Park, Canandaigua, Penn Yan and Corning East.
|
|
| Season Outlook: | Look to improve as season goes on and expect to make Semifinals in Sectionals. Look to finish 3 or 4 in Monroe County Division 1 this year.

SCHROEDER Webster
Schroeder posted a 3-7 league record in the Monroe County-1
league and finished the season 8-9 overall.
In the Class A Tournament, the Warriors were seeded 6th and
lost to Irondequoit (#3) in the quarter final round. Junior
midfielder Mike Catalino was selected to the 1st team All
league list.
Schroeder lost only three senior in 2004 including defenseman
Tim Baran (Fisher), midfielder Chris Costanza and defenseman
Brett Lenzi.
Schroeder has only twenty-two players on the roster this season.
Standout midfielder Mike Catalino who signed early with Duke
will lead the midfield and may see time with junior Jay Willmes
and sophomore Mike Barilla if the two newcomers make the starting
lineup. The attack will see Jack Mooney and Tom Costanza back
this year. In defense Matt Crandall (early decision to LeMoyne)
and Mark Liberti return. If the Warriors stay healthy they
have some players who can make some dramatic plays.
