Player of the Year Romero Collier QBs Henninger to Basketball Title (PS; Weidener)

It takes one to know one.

Jake Wittig, a three-time All-Central New York point guard at Fayetteville-Manlius, was asked what makes Henninger’s Romero Collier, another three-peater, so special.

“He controls the game, offensively and defensively,” said Wittig, who has played with Collier in AAU basketball and against him in high school. “He can share the ball well and create for others, and create his own shot. That’s what makes him a great player.”

Henninger coach Erik Saroney said Collier has “that ‘it’ factor that coaches and people in sports talk about.”

Collier had ‘it’ in two sports this year, quarterbacking the Henninger football team to itsfirst sectional title in six years, then repeating the feat as the leader of a Black Knights basketball team that went 21-2 before losing to eventual state championShenendehowa in overtime in the playoffs.

Fans Turn Out for Chief's Home Opener (PS; Kramer)

The Syracuse Chiefs' 2015 meet-and-greet party Thursday at NBT Bank Stadium was one for the record books.

A sun-splashed crowd of 8,869 fans — the largest for a home opener since 2001 — tipped its collective cap to the past and then got a hint of what might be in store this summer as Syracuse pounded Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 10-2.

Each of the Chiefs runs was driven in by players who were not on the roster of the 2014 North Division champion team — centerfielder Matt den Dekker (2), third baseman Ian Stewart (2), catcher Dan Butler (2) and designated hitter Mark Minicozzi, first baseman Kila Ka'aihue, left fielder Jason Martinson and right fielder Tony Gwynn Jr. (one each).

"You always want to make a good first impression wherever you go, whether it's on the road, whether it's at home. You're always looking to play very well,'' said Butler, who joined the Chiefs as a free agent from the Boston organization. "When you make a first impression like these guys did today it gives the city maybe a little to look forward to and come back and watch some more game.''

Giant 1,000 Foot Water Slide Coming to Syracuse in August (PS; Tulloch)

Well, this is different. A giant padded water slide will roll out in Syracuse this summer, if New York State deems it safe.

Slide the City is a traveling 1,000-foot vinyl slip-and-slide which sets up in cities across the U.S. For months, the Slide the City website has said Syracuse's slide is "opening soon," but still hasn't listed an exact date.

However, the New York State Department of Labor lists the Slide the City event for August 1, 2015. The state treats Slide the City as both a "ride" and "amusement event," so the slide must first pass state inspections, arrange for insurance and receive a permit before the company can officially announce the event.

LeMoyne Students Get Out, Have Fun at Annual Dolphy Day Celebration (PS; Baker)

Today sure is turning out to be a good day to play hooky. While baseball fans citywide skip work for the Chiefs' home opener today, students at Le Moyne College are blowing off classes for a day of sun, music and lots of beer.

That's right: It's Dolphy Day.

Hundreds of students, mostly clad in sleeveless jerseys, short shorts and plastic sunglasses, gathered on the quad at Le Moyne College for a day of extreme cabin fever relief.

Students bounced on inflatable houses. They tossed Frisbees and footballs. A handful of young men played Wiffel ball. Some sat in the shade and more in the sun. Groups of revelers funneled beer from any object available. They played dizzy bat and some sort of beer hot potato game.

It's a tradition that began with youthful rebellion and has since become an established and quasi-official part of the LeMoyne campus.
