Kudos to Acchione

[Shenexon]

I want to give a shout out for Michael Acchione, a local boy from Solvay who walked on at SU, and received a scholarship this year as a senior. He caught the winning touchdown and made good on the confidence placed in him by the coaches. After reading the Rahme article on him a couple of weeks ago, I was hoping he'd get his 15 minutes and today was as good a day as any. Congratulations Michael...well done.

Shenexon had such a good opening post...I couldn't resist.

Michael A. comes from a great family and will do well at Solvay HS.

It's proper posting like this that makes my OCD calm (for a few min).

I have been known to bump an old thread rather than start a new one. But this one even fooled me and had me wondering what planet I am on.

The game was against Rhode Island and boy does that bring back some bad memories. Also congratulations to him:

Syracuse University football receiver Michael Acchione makes his dad proud

“This is a dream come true, not only for Michael but for the entire family,” his father, Garry Acchione, said last week.

It’s what college football is all about. It’s the reason I keep coming back. I love when kids get a piece of their dreams.

It is a nice stadium. It was redone around 10 years ago. Solvay upgraded their football and baseball fields when they tore down the middle school

Nice looking logo. Now, where have I seen that before? Hmmm...

Solvay HS has a special connection to Syracuse football going back many decades.

Glad to see a Syracuse man in charge of that football program. Congrats to young Acchione.

I hope (and expect) he will send some Solvay players to Syracuse down the road.

Any time there's an oppty for a Solvay kid to go to Syracuse, Coach Ack is going to strongly persuade him.

Walkon Elijah (Bubba) Wright was coached by Ack (Elijah Wright - Football - Syracuse University Athletics)

So happy for Mike. Couldn't happen to a nicer, more deserving young man.

JeremyCuse was a walk on to the Fine Mess...we offered him a full ride scholarship after we saw what Nell did on game day.

Sure beats the old dirt pit I played on at Solvay….

Mostly donors. It was horrendous back in the day. The field was redone around ‘03.
